Report compiled before 2nd Flack Family Re-Union - Sept 3 1910

WRITTEN BY JAMES FLACK, BORN 7 OCT, 1834, DIED 23 NOV 1917 AT AGE 83

In addition to what I have already found at our former meeting, I find that Benjamin Flack enlisted in a Wrightstown and Buckingham Military Company in 1775 and afterwards in Captain Lacey's Company which he raised from about Hartsville in 1776. After serving in the Revolution he married and emigrated to Kentucky, had three children and at last was killed by the Indians.

Joseph and Samuel were privates in an Associated Company in Warwick Township in 1775.

One James Flack enlisted in an Associated Company in Lancaster County in 1775, also one John Flack was first sergeant in a Captain Robinson Company of Lancaster County. Robert Flack was enrolled in an Associated Company of militia from New Britain Township, also in Captain Henry's Company of Bucks County Militia. William Flack was a lieutenant on guard in 1781. One William Flack was a first class private in Cumberland County in 1782. I see by the records that several others by the name of Flack were enlisted about the time of the Revolution, but according to the genealogy I have up to this time, I cannot help but think that the publishers have the name of Flook (?) mixed up with the name of Flack.

I am one of the fourth generation and there are about three younger than ours and as the Flacks generally are blessed with large families, you will see that it is almost impossible to get anything like a full genealogy of our ancestor James Flack, as the number would most likely run into thousands and residents of many states. The Flacks are connected to many families and I will mention a few:- Stephens, McMullins, Wilson, Callison, Rico (?), Ewars, Decouresy, Titus, Conrad, Lake, Radcliff, Haggard, Scott, Nelson, King, Jamison, Shrader, Brown, Simpson, Slaughter, Nann, Yale, Fell, McCray, Sdner (?), Baily, Alcott, Eastburn, Garner, Linkhart, Bliss, Swarts, Roberts, Hamilton, Cregg, Blaker, Haldman, Michaner, Gault, Paxson, Hagen, (??), Burgess, Schaunce, etc.

Note:- Joseph Flack kept store and Samuel a hotel in Doylestown about the time of the Revolution. Here Samuels child died and they could hardly find anyone to go with him to Neshaminy Burial ground to the family plot. Only three or four went including one woman and all on horse back. The neighbours were very much agitated, because Washington's Army was camped in sight of the cemetery and the British this side of Philidelphia and people were expecting trouble any time, should the armies come together- also from outlaws roaming through the country
