Mary Brine, age 30, and Charles Marcasty, age 22, both born in Ireland. Charles was listed as a farmer. The 1850 census has them all listeed as being born in Massachusetts. He had his family in Boylston, Worcester, Massachusettes during the 1860 Census. At that time he had 7 children and 2 boarders. The boarders were both born in Ireland. Catherin Collins, age 17, had been married within one year of the cnsus and was working as a domestic. William Dugan, age, 24, was working as a farmhand. Two more children appear in the 1870 Census, but Levi does not. Levi must have died. He only had one boarder, Franklin Lawrence, age 40, who was born in Ireland. His middle initial is well documented in Census records as L., but i recently found it as Lincoln on another myheritage.com site by gail tyson on 9/28/2008. Levi Lincoln Flagg, son of Joseph Flagg (6), was horn in Boylston, Massachusetts, September 20. 1818. He attended the district schools of his native town and of Shrewsbury and then went to work in the good old way, as a farm hand. For the first two years he worked for neighboring farmers for the sum of eight dollars per month with board. His next position brought him one hundred and sixty dollarsper year. With money saved by frugal management from this small income, he bought the homestead of his father and thereafter he divided his time between the farm and the livestock business, in both of which he was successful financially. He is living on his farm at Boylston, at present, active in spite of his advanced age. He is a Republican in politics and has always been active in public affairs. He was assessor for twenty-five years, representative to the general court and for a period of thirty years was on the board of selectmen of the town of Boylston, a remarkable tribute on the part of his fellow-townsmen to his ability and good judgment, such as few men in any town of the Commonwealth have ever received. Aservice of thirty years is sometimes found in the offices of town clerk or town treasurer, but the instances of such long service as that of Mr. Flagg in the office of selectman are very rare in the past as well as in the present generation.
