Dwayne, There used to be an excellent Flippin surname website on the Internet I've lost the URL, but I expect you could find it easily enough. I had not known until now that the Flippins were from Pittsylvania Co. Archibald Thompson, his brothers, brother-in-law and others show up in the Pittsylvania Co. tithables in 1767. Many of these folk emigrated to Kentucky in the late 1700s, and settled in Green, Cumberland and Barren; Monroe was formed from the latter two counties in 1820. Flippin is in Monroe, near the Tennessee border, and is quite historic; among other things it was a major Civil War staging area. It is also near Bugtussell, another Monroe County community. I will check the "History of Monroe County, Ky., 1820-1988," compiled by Dayton Birdwell to see if I can find your Patsey and Joseph Hiler. If you find the Flippin web site, please post the URL as I would like to refer to it again now that I have placed the early family in old Halifax/Pittsylvania Co., VA.
