Hi Glemda, I will certainly keep digging here. I think key is getting into Adair County records. That line's tradition is that they descend from Milly and Bryant and I believe that the names of their children bear that out. They also had a son named Lloyd, and I found another Lloyd Flanagan in in 1830s Russell County court record, mentioned along with both the older John [b. abt 1768], the younger John, Bryant, and I think Mason Flanagan. I think that Lloyd probably died before reaching 21 because he never appears in tax records or the census. The Lloyd that descends from the younger John died during the Civil War and is buried in the national cemetery in St. Louis. I very strongly believe that the DNA evidence suggests this line descends from Milly Flanagan's French line and I am hoping to eventually find documentation... :) Granuaile -- "Knowledge is the best cure for the poison of ignorance" Ms. Granuaile Lythande O'Flanagan gflanagan@adelphia.net Web Page: http://flanaganfamily.org DNA Project Page: http://dna.flanaganfamily.org DNA Project Results: http://haplotypes.flanaganfamily.org Clan Flanagan: http://clanflanagan.org Yahoo SN: transgendered40351 "Tiocfaidh ar la, our day will come." ---- GJ Hall <gjh50@modempool.com> wrote: ============= I read with interest your findings in re John Flanagan. I had entered his birth year as 1811 based on the following census data, which would have him born before Bryant and Milley were married in 1813. However, he did name his first son Bryan and named a daughter Milly, which makes one think there is a close relationship here. There is also a son named Daniel. I did not have him linked as a son to Bryant and Milley, though, because there was nothing to make me think he was a son because of the dates and the fact he wasn't in Bryant's will. ...
