• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: New information updated 16 Jan 2008 After studying a copy of the original deed dated 1793, plus a copy of the the Summons in Partition dated from 6 Nov 1802 through 11 Feb 1803 (Part. Dkt. A. P. 206), plus a copy of the Release dated 8 Sep 1804 and recorded 11 Sep 1813 (D.B. 42, Pg 318) it is our (Jim Flack and Carol Temlin's) considered opinions that James Flack b. 1834, the historian of the Flack Family Reunions, was MISTAKEN IN HIS ASSUMPTION that the James Flack mentioned in said Summons in Partition and Release was James (b1708) and Ann Flack's son. . The will specifically mentions "my seven Children" and lists "Joseph Flack, Sarah McMullin, Robert Flack, William Flack, Samuel Flack, John Flack, and Benjamin Flack(s) three Children)" and "my five sons" and lists "Robert, William, Samuel, John and Benjamin" then mentions "whereas my Son Benjamin has Deceased and left three Children" "I order and it is my will that... I give and bequeath [bequeath] the remainder of my sons share to the above named Grandchildren." . James obviously has only seven children at the time of the will, and only five sons - Benjamin being dead but leaving children so he was still being counted. James must be dead by the time the will is written, and furthermore MUST HAVE DIED CHILDLESS otherwise his father would surely have provided for them in his will. . It is not until we read the Summons that it becomes clear that James and Ann's son John has also died, leaving three children, James, Jane, and John to whom John's share would pass. This James (Benjamins son) in 1804 married Rachel Jamison and she is also present at the Release. It is this son of John that the historian mistakenly believed to be James and Ann's son James. (This also means that the "Rachel" believed to be James wife is actually a reference to Rachel Jamison). . So from the above information we have to conclude that James (b.1736 ) has died before 1793; has died childless; AND we have no idea if he actually EVER married. (Explained very well by Carol Temlin - 16 Jan 2008) BIOGRAPHY: James Flack enlisted in an Associated Company in Lancaster County in 1775. James Flack 'emigrated' to Kentucky.
