Hello Flinns: I saw your email on the Mecklenburg Rootweb site and was suprised to see the name of James Madison Flinn. He is also in our line. The one I have is married to Jane Sophia Lane rather that Margaret Groves. Our James Madison Flinn was the son of William Flinn and North American Tatum. This line comes down from Lauglin Flinn in early 1600 VA thru Squire Flinn in Iowa to Larry Finnn my wife's father. They were from Perry Co. Iowa. Because of the same rather unusual name I would like to see what your line looks like. Larry Flinn and Isabel Wimmell were divorced about 1946-7. Isabel, my mother in law, would not give me any information about him, so when our daughter was born, I wanted to fill in her mother's side of the family and went to SLC where I researched the family. Before I got that far I wrote letters to every Flinn in the Perry Co, IA area in Oct. and did not hear anything until the next March. Then I got a letter from one of Larry's sisters, who was delighted to make contact and put me in touch with 3 more sisters and another brother. They had a reunion in May and sent my wife, Nancy Ellen Flinn, a scrap book they had put together with pictures of her father with her and much more. She had never known her father. So with those leads I went to SLC and was able to trace at least one line of her family to Wales in 800 AD. The family was tied in with the Morris line, which was derived from the Celtic Rys and Mars + Mor-ris. If we could find some common relatives I would be glad to share what I have. Would be glad to hear from you.

William, I read you post with interest. We have a Thomas Fletcher Adams in our files. He married in Granville County, NC on the 18 August 1868, Phebe Ann Flinn, daughter of James Madison Flinn and Margaret "Peggy" Graves Flinn. Phebe is sister to our GrGrGrandfather. We also have a Julia Graves (sister to "Peggy") but we have her married 17 July 1849 to Stephen Spain. Could this be the same Julia and a second marriage? I never knew Fletcher and Phebe Adams but my grandmother used to talk about them. She referred to them as Uncle Fletcher and Aunt Phebe. They use to live in a log cabin near West Creek in Amelia County. The house was still standing a few years ago. I am not sure about now. The Flinn's and Adams came to Amelia County from Mecklenburg. They had lived in that part of Mecklenburg on the border with Granville County, NC and were tennant farmers so they moved back and forth across the border. Some of them attended church in Townsville, NC and there are some of our ancestors buried there. Aunt Phebe and Uncle Fletcher did not have any children of their own. They did raise a black girl like she was their own. She thought of them as her family. I do not recall her name or why they raised her. Phebe and Fletcher Adams are buried in the Amelia Presbyterian Church cemetery at Amelia Court House, Virginia. I hope this helps you some and we would be interested in any information you can send us so we can fill in some information on Uncle Fletcher. Perhaps there may be other connections.

Mecklenburg 1870 map has been added to the Map section of the Mecklenburg VAGenWeb page. The map has been divided into sixteen clickable sections.

Looking for the parents/history of William A. Adams b @ 1820 Mecklenburg VA. Have run into a dead end. William married Mary Mallett, also from Mecklenburg, VA in 1839. They had several children in Mecklenburg. These included: Robert Lewis Adams b @ 1840 Mecklenburg Martha Adams b @ 1842 Thomas Fletcher Adams b @ 1843 William D Adams b @ 1845 Mary Adams b @ 1851 Samuel Adams b 1853 Alexander T. Adams b 1854 Benjamin Adams b 1855 Lucie Ida Adams b 1858 Cally Adams b 1860 My family is descended from Robert Lewis Adams who maried Julia Graves in Mecklenburg 2/12/1863. Their son was born soon after Robert died in the war, 1864. This son, Daniel Lewis Adams, then shows up in Warren County NC as he married there in 1884 and again in 1886. It is not clear as to whether Julia took him there or if there was a reason he chose to go there himself. My family would be grateful for any information that would help us find out our family history. Anyone out there have Adams information? Thanks!

The only John Thompson listed in the Mecklenburg Co Marriage Bond records for 1811-1853 is John W. (no Jr or Sr) whose marriage bond to Jane Graves is dated 20 March 1844. The Surety was Samuel Dedman. In the 1765-1810 marriage bonds, there are four John Thompsons. (No other name for any of them.) Bond date 8 May 1775 to Sarah Thompson, surety Asa Oliver; bond date 12 Jan 1795 to Phoebe Tisdale, surety William Thompson; bond date 13 Apr 1801 to Nancy Burnett; surety, Richard Burnett, minister William Creath; bond date 12 Oct 1807 to Mary Sally [properly Mary Salle'], surety Stephen P'Pool. Hope there's something here that helps.

For those with specific interest in the Buffalo Creek area: _Temporarily_ uploaded to the below site is a map of the Buffalo Creek area of Mecklenburg. I have joined portions of 4 USGS 7.5 quadrangle maps and considerably reduced the quality for file size purposes. The 4 quadrangles are: Buffalo Springs, Nelson, Clarksville North, and Clarksville South. Note: it is a large file and will be slow downloading for most. I would be interested in problems or successes with it!

I see a reference to John Mays. I may be an anscestor of that person. I am descended from a John Mayes of Mecklenburg Co.--at least, his will was probated there and is on the website. But because Mecklenburg was split from Lunenburg in 1765, I figured I might have to go to Lunenburg to trace his birth and perhaps his marriage. The Mayeses (John Granderson Mayes, son of John ? Mayes above) went to KY between 1800 and 1805, and were known for founding churches (Presbyterian to my knowledge). If you'd like to follow up, I'd be glad to correspond and have run on to others who are doing research for Mayeses in Mecklenburg Co.

Hello List Members, There is a good article in the November issue of Southern Living Magazine.It's about researching our southern roots abck to Ireland. Haven't had time to get one today,probably won't be on the shelf much longer. Richard

Hello, & " Happy Thanksgiving ", Here are two sites which helps with some research,especially involving a social security number. http://www.informus.com/ssnlkup.html This one gives you usually within two years the year and state a number was issued.It also has some other things to help. http://www.ancestry.com/ancestry/search/ssdi_index.asp You do not have to have the ss # , search by name,issued state, birth date,etc. Since it's Thanksgiving and many families will be together for the weekend,especially with some of the older family members,now would be a good time to ask a few questions,take some notes,maybe record some stories and information from those people who still remember what we are looking for. Richard

Penny, check out this James Hunter on the 1764 Lunenburg tax list for St JAmes/Mecklenburg who had an interesting overseer, possibly Terrell?? James Hunter Isaac Austill [?] .......................... 2

Dear List, Several months ago someone from the list shared a URL for a website that allowed the visitor to locate a USGS 7.5 minute topography map by entering a watercourse or other known reference. I have somehow lost that URL and I was hoping that the generous soul would once again be willing to forward that web address to me. I would very much appreciate hearing from anyone on this. Thanks, Kent Elam
