Flournoy Surname DNA Project

RaymondKelly91 — 2012-05-17 03:33:12Z

I want to let you know about the Flournoy Surname DNA Test Project that we have started.
Many of us have traced our ancestor‘s back to a “Brick Wall” using family records and public records but can not conclusively identify the parents of our ancestor. DNA testing provides us with an independent tool to break that barrier through linkage identifying other descendants of those same Parents. Our Website Address is: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~flournoydnaproject
I encourage you to check it out. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
If your Test Results match my haplotype, I will reimburse your test cost.
Best Regards,

keyesperry — 2012-04-07 07:07:43Z

This is not my branch of the family, but it looks to me as if your Robert Joseph Flournoy is the one on this page by Carol Olson:
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&d...
Other researchers also list Robert Joseph Flournoy as a son in this large family, but Olson is the only one who also says that he married Adeline HOUSTON, who apparently died before the 1850 census, and that Robert himself died in 1852. If this fits with what you have, you may find guardian records somewhere (Montgomery Co MO?), and/or locate the children living with relatives.

Pension Granted to Lucy Alva (Flournoy) Burnham Widow of William E. Burnham 1897

JimHouston49 — 2012-04-06 10:56:14Z

The July 25, 1897 issue of the Kansas City Journal available from the Library of Congress web site at http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn86063615/1897-07-25... shows Lucy Alva (Flournoy) Burnham being issued a pension as an "original" widow (page 10, 4th column, bottom of page under title of “Pensions”)

Lucy Alva (Flournoy) Burnham was the daughter of Doctor Robert Joseph Flournoy and Louisa Adaline (Adeline) Houston and the granddaughter of my third great-grandparents, Charles Cleaver Houston and Judith Carter Yager. Lucy Alva (Flournoy) Burnham's husband, William E. Burnham had died 01 Sep 1896 in Renick, Randolph County, Missouri.

1922 Death Certificate of Lucy Alva (Flournoy) Burnham

JimHouston49 — 2012-04-02 18:47:28Z

The death certificate of Lucy Alva (Flournoy) Burnham, wife of William Edgar Burnham and daughter of Doctor Robert Joseph Flournoy and Louisa Adaline Houston can be found online at this URL http://www.sos.mo.gov/images/archives/deathcerts/1922/1922_0.... It appears to me that the informant to the death was Aubrey Ernest Burnham (born about 1879), son of William Edgar and Lucy Alva Flournoy Burnham. I believe that the informant incorrectly identified the father of Lucy Alva (Flournoy) Burnham as Francis M. Flournoy instead of Doctor Robert Joseph Flournoy. He also correctly identified the mother of Alva (Flournoy) Burnham as Adaline Houston. Adaline Houston is, I believe, the daughter of my third great-grandparents Charles Cleaver Houston and Judith Carter Yager.

Francis M. Flournoy and Lucy Flournoy in 1860 Chariton County, Mo Census

JimHouston49 — 2012-03-31 17:21:48Z

In the 1860 Census for Buffalo Lick Township in Chariton County, Missouri is listed a Francis Hunt age 19 born in Kentucky and a Lucy Hunt aged 15 also born in Kentucky. I believe that these children are actually Francis M. Flournoy and Lucy Flournoy children of Johnathan Hunt's wife Louisa Adaline Houston and her first husband, Doctor Robert Joseph Flournoy.

Louisa Adaline Houston is my second great-aunt, daughter of Charles Cleaver Houston and Judith Carter Yager

Jim Houston

Lucy Flournoy Sister of Francis M. Flournoy?

JimHouston49 — 2012-03-30 19:40:04Z

After doing a little more digging, I believe that Lucy Flournoy, wife of William E. Burnham, may have been a brother of Francis M. Flournoy (i.e. daughter of Doctor Robert Joseph Flournoy and Louisa Adaline Houston and granddaughter of Charles Cleaver Houston and Judith Cater Yager).

Jimm Houston

Francis M. Flournoy, Born About 1842 in Kentucky

JimHouston49 — 2012-03-29 16:56:11Z

I believe that Francis M. Flournoy who was born about 1842 in Kentucky and who later married Sarah C Sumpter may be the son of Doctor Robert Joseph Flournoy and Louisa Adaline Houston. Louisa Adaline Houston, my 3rd great-aunt was the daughter of Charles Clever Houston and Judith (or Juliet) Carter Yager.

Francis M. Flournoy is included in the 1860 Federal census for Chariton County, Missouri, living in the household of Judge George Green Dameron. Judge George Green Dameron was the father of Laura Matilda 'Tillie' Dameron who would later marry (before 1889) Walter Graham Houston. Louisa Adaline Houston would have been an aunt to Walter Graham Houston (she was the sister of Albert G. Houston, father of Walter Graham Houston)

Anyone have Francis M. Flournoy in thier family tree?

Ancestors of the Flournoy immigrants

keyesperry — 2012-01-17 20:16:03Z

A good resource on FLOURNOYs is SOME OF THE ANCESTORS OF FRANCIS FLOURNOY OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, by the late Bettye Rathbone, who visited Europe to do the research. It deals with ANCESTORS, not descendants; it goes back to Europe, not
forward in America. Francis was a son of the immigrant Jacob Flournoy, but both immigrants to Virginia had the same paternal ancestors. You may be able to borrow a copy through inter-library loan at your local library. Or check http://www.worldcat.org for a library that has it.

Re: Welcome Wright Flournoy

keyesperry — 2012-01-13 22:18:14Z

You are entirely correct that there is something wrong with the dates. Unfortunately, at this time, I cannot determine where the mistake crept in. James Flournoy's service WAS very late in the War for Independence.
James' birth date, 23 February 1763, and the birth dates of his wife and children, come from his family Bible. They appear in "A Branch of the Flournoy Family" by Mrs. Walter W. Otto in The Virginia Genealogist of April 1971 (vol. 15, no. 2).
James, son of James Flournoy, is named in the 1770 will of his grandfather Francis Flournoy [Chesterfield County Will Book 2:262]. So he certainly was living by then.
The same article in The Virginia Genealogist of April 1971 (vol. 15, no. 2) says that James Flournoy is known to have received a land grant in 1858, when he was 92 years old (Revolutionary War pension application of James Flournoy, R.3617; Bounty Land Warrant 36606-160-55, National Archives). The age given would put his birth in 1765/6.
John Frederick Dorman's Virginia Revolutionary Pension Applications (Washington, 1958) contains this summary of James Flournoy's application for a pension as a veteran:
FLOURNOY, James. R.3617; BLWt.36606—160—55.
3 Feb. 1834. Talbot Co., Ga. James Flournoy, aged 70 on 23 February last, declares he entered service about 1 March 1781 under Col. Rob. Goud (Goode) of Chesterfield Co., Va., Capt. Henry Cheatham and Lt. John Farmer. He marched to Dinwiddie Court House and then back to Chesterfield, remained a short time and then marched to Cabin Point on James River and remained in that vicinity two weeks. After that the regiment marched back to Chesterfield County and was stationed at Ware Bottom Church a few miles from Petersburg and then he marched up James River on the Manchester side opposite Richmond, remained there a few days, crossed the river and joined the forces under Marquis de Lafayette for one week and then marched back to Ware Bottom Church for about two weeks and marched to a place about two miles from Chesterfield Court House where they were surprised by Col. Tarleton and dispersed. In a few days the greater part of Col. Goud’s command was organized and he was then under Capt. Scott, Col. Gould (sic) having been taken prisoner. They joined Lafayette’s army and marched up in the neighborhood of Goochland Court House. While there his three month tour expired. He was then under Capt. Knight from Amelia County.
2 Sept. 1833. Talbot Co., Ga. Anna (X) Towns declares she was acquainted with James Flournoy during the Revolutionary Wr. He resided in Chesterfield Co., Va., and in 1781 her brother was in service and Flournoy served a tour of duty with him.
24 Jan. 1834. Talbot Co., Ga. William (X) Flournoy of Upson Co., Ga., declares James Flournoy of Talbot County resided in Chesterfield Co., Va., and in 1781 was in service with Siah [Isaiah?] Tailor, Josiah Trent, Branch Celium [probably Elam -- LKP] and a number of others.
July 1855. Taylor Co., Ga. James (X) Flournoy of said county, aged 90, declares he was a soldier in the company of Capt. Henry Cheatum in the Revolutionary War. He was mustered in in March 1781 for three months and was discharged in Goochland Co., Va., on 1 June 1781. He appoints Marion Bethume of Talbot Co., Ga., his attorney.
Pension application rejected; he did not serve three months.
Warrant 36606 for 160 acres was issued 7 Aug. 1856 to James Flournoy for service as private in the Revolutionary War from March to June 1781.

Re: Welcome Wright Flournoy

bobjuch2 — 2012-01-12 18:53:14Z

Thanks for your contribution. There's either a typo or math error in here though: "My father, James Flournoy was born in Virginia on Feb. 23, 1763, which shows he was about 14 years old when the war closed." He'd have been 14 in 1777 based on that.

Welcome Wright Flournoy

keyesperry — 2012-01-12 18:23:25Z

Someone asked about Welcome Wright Flournoy. He is not one of my family, but I have collected some information that may be of use.
In a letter preserved at the Virginia State Library, W. W. Flournoy says he is Justice of the Peace, County Commissioner, and notary public in Ranger, Texas (Eastland County). At the time of writing (December 1894), he and his wife have 9 children and "about 30" grandchildren, "scattered from Indian Territory to Old Mexico." The letter is addressed to his cousin Mrs. Mary Cumming of Louisville, Alabama.
W. W. mentions Robert W. Flournoy, a "very prominent Lawyer of Fort Worth Texas." He remarks that his father's brother Jacob Flournoy went to Kentucky. And he says that his "Sister Laura died in July 93. Her youngest son and two of the Girls are living in the old homestead" -- presumably in Macon County, Georgia.
In a typescript titled "The Sons of the Revolution," W. W. Flournoy gives some dates of birth and marriage. He mentions that one of his half-sisters married a Yates and the other married a Kindred. The children of the first marriage were "all grown and married" before the first wife died and W. W.'s father married W. W.'s mother, who was considerably younger. (Mrs. Otto says she was the sister of his son Nelson's wife.) W. W. mentions that his father received a land warrant for 160 acres of land -- for what is not clear, since as W. W. points out, his father was 14 when the Revolutionary War ended. Perhaps there was service in the War of 1812 not mentioned. Or perhaps he served in the last days of the War for Independence.
THE VIRGINIA GENEALOGIST of April 1971 (Volume 15, No. 2) transcribed part of W. W.'s essay: "My father, James Flournoy was born in Virginia on Feb. 23, 1763, which shows he was about 14 years old when the war closed. After the war he married a Miss Cundiff and raised a family of seven children in Bedford County, Virginia, five boys and two girls.
"The boys names were James, Nelson, Jonathan, Bird and John. One of the girls married a Yates and the other a Kindred and they were all grown and married before his first wife died.
"He then married my mother, Elizabeth Wright, in Anson County, North Carolina in 1826. Mother had 2 children, sister being about two years older than myself. I was born April 13, 1830 and in 1831 my father moved to Georgia and settled in Talbot County.
"After we had been there a number of years our representative persuaded my father to apply for a pension and in about 1835 our next member of congress made the application and granted him a land warrant for 160 acres of land.
"During the war there were two parties in political strife, the Whig and the Torries. Father voted the “Whig” ticket until the party split on “Know Nothingism," and then he joined the Democrat Party and was a member of that ever since. He voted in every presidential election from the foundation down to and including Buchanan.
"On March 20, 1851 I married Miss B. E. V. McKenney [Elizabeth Virlinda McKenney] of Monroe County, Georgia, and we reared nine children to be grown, six boys and three girls, four of whom are living.
"In Feb. 1863, 1 enlisted in the Confederate Army, Company 3, Alabama, Cavalry Clintons Brigade" (page 108).
W. W. and B. E. V. "reared nine children to be grown, six boys and three girls." He served February to May 1863 in the Confederate Army, Co. 3, Alabama Cavalry, Clinton's Brigade, and later received a state pension for "3 months [doing] a lot of marching back and forth in Virginia and that's about all."
The LDS transcription of the 1880 census of Stephens County, Texas, lists W. W. Flournoy (50) in District 204, Precinct 5 (National Archives Film T9-1327, page 505C). W. W. is a farmer; he was born in North Carolina to a father born in Virginia and a mother born in North Carolina. His wife Biranca [sic] (46) was born in Georgia to parents born in Georgia. The children at home are William C. Flournoy (23, a laborer, born in Alabama), Ida E. Flournoy (19, born in Alabama), John W. Flournoy (17, laborer, born in Alabama), Tavis [sic] A. Flournoy (14, laborer, born in Alabama), Luroy [sic] J. Flournoy (12, laborer, born in Texas), and Henry J. Flournoy (8, born in Texas). Also in the household are W. W.'s son James G. Flournoy (26, a farmer, born in Georgia), his wife Catherine (20), and their son James E. (6 months).

Re: Flournoy Surname Origin - the Ancestors

keyesperry — 2012-01-02 21:44:24Z

Sorry, but what you say is not quite right. There were TWO FLOURNOY ancestors in the US. Some FLOURNOYs descend from Jacob Flournoy, the uncle of John James Flournoy, who arrived in Virginia in 1700. He was a passenger from London to Virginia on the ship "Peter and Anthony" in 1700, along with a wife, two sons, and two daughters. (In the words of the ship's passenger list, "Jacob Fleurnoir, sa femme 2 garsons & 2 fille.")Since Jacob Flournoy and John James Flournoy (Jean Jacques Flornoy) were related, their descendants have common ancestors and are related to each other.

Re: Flournoy Surname Origin?

deeganjames — 2012-01-02 02:20:10Z

All U.S. Flournoys of European extraction are descended from the ANCESTOR. His name was Jean Jacques Flornoy who emigrated from Geneva to Goochland county Virginia in 1717. They were originally French Protestants from near Wassy who fled to Switzerland after the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre.
Subsequent frontier generations had a series of 10-15 children families, most of whom survived to adulthood. There is a publication called 'The Flournoy Family" which is in the Shreveport and New Orleans (and likely other) libraries which follows the spread of the family throug the 1930's.
You are surely eligible for the Daughter of the American Revolution if interested.

Flournoy Surname DNA Study

RaymondKelly91 — 2011-10-17 19:58:27Z

We have established a Flournoy Y-DNA Project to provide a method whereby the living descendants of the Flournoy Family can determine which Flournoy Line they descend from and share information on the various family branches. Due to the continual repeating of the same given names for Flournoy Males down through the generations, it is almost impossible to determine from which Flournoy line you descend.

A 37 Marker Y-DNA Test will allow participants to determine that they share a Common Ancestor within the past 5 or as far back as 24 generations. All it requires is mailing in a simple cheek swab from a Flournoy Male.

To join the Flournoy Surname DNA Project, go to the Website below and order a 37 Marker Test Kit.
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Flournoy/default.aspx

If you are interested in participating, now is the time. Family Tree DNA the company that analyzes the samples and provides participants with the information, is offering the 37 Marker Y-DNA Test for $149 to participants in our Surname Group.

I have no financial interest in Family Tree DNA. This project was set up to allow Flournoy Males a method to determine their line of descendancy with scientific precision.

Hi Robert,
I am descended from W.W.Flournoy's son, John Wright Flournoy, who's son was Robert Monroe Flournoy, who's son (and my father) was Robert Louis Flournoy. Any info you would have on W.W. Flournoy and would care to share with me would be very appreciated. My dad passed away last year, which is when I began getting interested in our ancestry.
Thanks.

My grandfathers name was Lacy Lee Flournoy. The only thing i know about my last name is that its French and its a name of a street in LA. My grandfather passed in the 86 or 87. His last know address was Vado NM and know he has sisters, but I have only seen them once and that was at the funeral of my grandfather. He was married to my grandmother Emma L. Boyer Flournoy.

Give us some help here: By "LA" do you mean Louisiana or Loa Angeles? Do you know about when your grandfather was born? When was your parent, his child, born? Do you have anything else that will help us tie him into the Flournoy tree? [Pun intended.]

I was wondering if anyone has information on a Flournoy that had a child in January of 1967 in the Los Angeles area. I was adopted and have been told that Flournoy was either the Fathers or the mothers last name

Flournoy Immigrants to America
The earliest Flournoy immigrants to America were Jacob Flournoy, born January 5, 1663, and his nephew John James Flournoy, born November 17, 1686 . Jacob arrived in Jamestown, Virginia on September 20, 1700. Jacob, his wife, 2 sons, Francis and Jacque, and 2 daughters, arrived on the ship, “Peter and Anthony”, Galley of London. The family prospered and spread from Prince Edward, Brunswick, and Chesterfield County, Virginia down into North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and later to Texas. Several of the Flournoy males served in the Revolutionary War in Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia. Each of these gentlemen had large families with many sons repeating the same given names among the offspring of brothers as well as from generation to generation. This has made it difficult to place the ancestors within the correct Flournoy branch. We have established a Flournoy Surname DNA Project to provide a method whereby the living descendants of the Flournoy Family can determine which Flournoy Line they descend from and share information on the various family branches.
Project Background
Provide a method whereby the living descendants of the Flournoy Family can determine which Flournoy Line they descend from and share information on the various family branches. A 37 Marker Y-DNA Test will allow participants to determine that they share a Common Ancestor within the past 5 generations. The test only requires a cheek swab with a kit supplied by Family Tree DNA. You put the swab back in the vial, and use the envelope provided to mail it back to Family Tree DNA in Houston. When the test is complete you will be supplied with an explanation of the results and your relationship to the other Flournoy’s who are participants. Since Y-DNA is only passed Father to Son to Grandson, etc. the test requires a sample from a Male Flournoy descendant.
Project Goals
Identify and connect the living descendants of the Immigrants Jacob Flournoy, born January 5, 1663, and his nephew John James Flournoy, born November 17, 1686 . Jacob arrived in Jamestown, Virginia on September 20, 1700. Jacob, his wife, 2 sons, Francis and Jacque, and 2 daughters, arrived on the ship, “Peter and Anthony”, Galley of London. The family prospered and spread from Prince Edward, Brunswick, and Chesterfield County, Virginia down into North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and later to Texas. Several of the Flournoy males served in the Revolutionary War in Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia. Each of these gentlemen had large families with many sons repeating the same given names among the offspring of brothers as well as from generation to generation. This has made it difficult to place the ancestors within the correct Flournoy branch.
Y-DNA testing will aid us in that process. We currently have the Y-DNA data for descendants of Jacob, the immigrant and are seeking a Male Flournoy descendant of his nephew John Jacques Flournoy who also came to Virginia in 1700.

Yes, they are
the descent is as follows:
Jacob Flournoy 1663-1747
Francis Flournoy 1687-1770
James Flournoy birth unknown - 1800
James Flournoy, Jr. 1763-1858
James Flournoy III 1789 - death date unknown

James Flournoy III married Jane Skaggs. Their son was:
Archibald Skaggs Flournoy 1822-1897

It is the Archibald Skaggs Flournoy family and neighbors and people of Morales who are buried in the Flournoy buring ground. We are still working on the cemetery list so keep checking for linkups to family members.

Re: Flournoy Cemetery Morales, Texas

RaymondKelly91 — 2011-02-10 02:49:06Z

Are the Morales, Texas Flournoys descendants of Jean Jacque Flournoy, b.1685 or his Uncle Jacob, b.1662?
