Surnames: Flanagan, Flanigan Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lh.2ADE/180.1 Message Board Post: My gr.gr.grandfather, Philip Flanigan, was married to an Ellen Dunn as his second wife. His first wife was Elizabeth McLaughlin; 13 kids; Ellen Dunn and then Parthana Hunter, 3d wife. They lived in Anderson Co. TN when he was married to Parthana, but originated in Lincoln Co. NC (1801) and probably died about 1890. He was married to Ellen in 1867. I live in Indiana, but The Flanagans go back 50 years or more to ChurchHill, TN, also, and are buried there. We can't find Philip's death or birth certificates and he spelled his name various ways due to inability to read or write.
