(2) In the 1820 Ohio census there are only 3 FLACK's shown:- (i) Job Flack in Wayne Township, Warren County. (ii) Richard Flack in Praire Township, Wayne County (Prarie Township later became part of the new Holmes County) (iii) James Flack in Chester Township, Wayne County (This stayed in Wayne County) (3) The latter 'James Flack' is, I belive, this James Flack as it follows through in all the later census records in Chester County.
