They settled near Gainsville in a place they named "Flinn Lick". He had 4 sons, Andrew, James W., George W. and Hiram Jackson. Hiram Jackson is my Grand Father. They all moved to Hardin County, Illinois in 1854. They are buried in Hardin County, Illinois. Any info about William Flinn's father and brothers would be appreciated. Jim Flynn 8593 N.

He is what she wrote "Nellie's father, Daniel Forney McNear was a native of Tennessee and her mother , Charity Rhodes McNear was born in Roane Co WV. She had four brothers, James "Jim" the oldest married Mary Morgan and they moved to Texas where they lived the rest of their lives. William, "Bill" married Kate Knightep, and they lived mostly in WV. He died at the home of a daughter Ruth Daniels at Glasgow, WV. The third, Harry, married a girl by the name of Grace. They lived in Huntington, WV where he met with a tragic death, having been mistaken for someone else he was killed on his way home from work. The youngest Jessee fell on a knife and killed himself while just a child. Nellie had 3 sisters, Mary who married Jim Morgan, Hannah Eveline maried to Fred McCullough and Martha, "Mattie" married to Arnold Harper of huntington.

Chelsea, What is the name of the book that you got this info from? I have been going to write to you, didn't find much on Daniel while in Salt Lake, but do have a couple of deeds for land that he and Charity bought. I did find out that Daniel applied for and received a pension for his service in the CW, Charity also received a CW pension as his widow. Have to get records from National Archives, they didn't have copies at the FHL. Have sent for them, takes 3 months or more sometimes but will share the info that I get.
