    • THOMAS FLEGG, baptized at Whinbergh, 1615, sailed for America in 1637, when twenty-one years of age, and settled in New England, at Watertown, in the Province of Massachusetts Bay. He was the founderof the American branch known as the FLAGG family. [See Chapter III].

      Very nice read in "Family Records of the Descendants of Gershom Flagg Born 1730 of Lancaster..." Chapters III (page 18) & VII (page 131). Update all this info to this document at some point. Possiblepictures tooo!

      Thomas Flagg (i), immigrant ancestor of Jonathan Nelson Flagg, of Worcester, is the progenitor of all the colonial families of this name in Massachusetts. He was born doubtless in England, and came to America in April, 1637, in the service of Richard Carver, of Skratby, England, where Flagg may have come from also. Flagg was twenty-one years old, hence his year of birth was 1616. He settled at Watertown, Massachusetts, and was yeoman, lieutenant, proprietor and town officer there and selectman in 1671, 1674, 1675, 1676, and 1678. He lost his left eye by a gunshort wound previous to 1659. He died February 6, 1697-8.
