Description
Excerpt from Family Records of the Descendants of Gershom Flagg of Lancaster, Massachusetts: With Other Genealogical Records of the Flagg Family Descended From Thomas Flegg of Watertown, Mass; And Including the Flagg Lineage in England
It has been the purpose of the compilers of this book to print all obtainable facts concerning gershom flagg (born 1730) of Lancaster, and his two sons, ebenezer flags6 and gershom flagg, born in 1756 and 1758 respectively, including as complete a genealogical record of all their descendants as could be obtained, and also to publish all authentic information extant, relative to their direct ancestry. We have also included, in Capter VI, other descendants of John Flagg of Boston, Mass. (grandfather of Gershom Flagg born and in Capter VII miscellaneous genealogical records of the family. Each passing year adds to the value and interest of such information as this book contains, and it has been largely with a view of preserving our Flagg family history for our pos terity that the compilers have undertaken this task. Facts known to - day may become mere tradition to-morrow, if no pains are taken to protect their authenticity.
The preparation of this Record was really begun over thirty years ago, by Willard Cutting Flagg8 [65] of Moro, Ills., who was very desirous of perfecting the genealogy of the Flagg family, and who, by correspondence and investigations extending over several years, had collected, before his untimely death in 1878, a large portion of the family history which is now put in a per manent form. The immediate cause of the appearance of this book is a letter written 10 Apr., 1903 by Lucius C. S. Flagg9 [820] to Norman Gershom Flagg9 reviving the correspondence begun by their fathers thirty years before and asking whether the genealogical facts collected by Willard C. Flagg were still obtainable.
