• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: ".....Family legend tells of a quarrel, which caused a split among the formerly close knit Comptons, Watsons, and Flacks. The nature and cause of the quarrel are unknown to us today, but it is probable that there was a dispute over religious matters. One theory states that Monroe's conversion to the Church of Christ angered Norris and caused a bitter argument. Whatever the reason for the quarrel, it caused the widowed Mary Howertain (or Polly) Watson Flack to decide to leave the Greenville-Spartanburgh area. In 1852 Polly Flack, her unmarried children John G., Frances Caroline, Matilda Clark, Susan Katharine, and William McCune, and her daughters and sons-in-law Mary Ann and Moses Watson and Elizabeth and Monroe Compton left South Carolina and traveled by wagon train across Georgia into Alabama. They settled in Marshall County, then after a year Monroe and Moses and their families moved into nearby Morgan County, where they settled on Brindley Mountain in the eastern section of the county. Polly remained in Marshall County until her death in 1875, but visits back and forth were common." Source - Flack-Watson-Compton Religious Heritage by David Cofield.
