Phillip Flanagan is collecting his family's heritage
into a very privately published book that he has titled, How Do
You Spell Flanagan? Shane Flanagan, son of Benjamin Jacob,
provided this story about his dad.

(1921-1998)

She was my second cousin. She was the daughter of my
Grandfather's (Harry Graham Flanagan) brother John Samuel Flanagan. I
know that she never married or had children. I took a lot of
inspiration from this article and I hope a lot of other Flanagan
women will know what strong and intelligent women we have always
been.

When my father was about 80 years old, I gave him a
tape recorder and asked him to tell stories about the family and
about his early memories. This method produced a rambling and
disjointed account that I've transcribed (and edited) into this
rambling and disjointed article.
--Mike Flanagan
- John Thomas Flanagan Sr. -
(c.1910-2008)
-
John Thomas Flanagan Sr. contracted polio in his early
teens and a priest told him it was divine retribution for his
activities in support of the violent rebel cause. Religion . . . a
complicated matter that. Best discussed with clinical reserve and
much care. It can unite strangers and divide brothers.

- Walter Roscoe Flanagan
(1900-1967)

One of the many stories that Phil Flanagan has to tell
us about the characters populating his family's past. And included in
his book How Do You Spell Flanagan?
--Phil Flanagan

Reprinted from the book, Mountain Memories by
Feaster Wolford, this is a story about a song, and the song is about
two of the Flanagans who lived in the neighborhood of Flanagan Hill
(Red Creek), West Virginia.

From the Garvin County, Oklahoma Indian Pioneer
Papers, comes an interview that combines a lot of fancy with a
little bit of fact. Phil Flanagan brings us yet another of his
colorful relatives.

(1894-1978)

Mischeviousness seems to be a trait in many Flanagan
personalities. Phil Flanagan's grandfather would have been a blast to
have around kids while they were growing up!

This submission came through the Flanagan Surname
section of the RootsWeb Message Board. It is such a charming
recollection. We just had to include it here.

Some Flanagan families have very deep mysteries within
them. Whatever might have happened to Chester Flanagin? Another of
the stories from Phil Flanagan's book, How Do You Spell
Flanagan?
--Phil Flanagan
- Thomas Guilford Flanagin
(1844-1927)
-
Phil Flanagan found this story in another privately
published book, Remnant Of A Family. It is only one of the
stories he has discovered about this master-furniture-maker, ancestor
of his.
--Phil Flanagan
- Charles Flanagan (1779-1840)
-
Bob Flanagan tells stories of two of his ancestor
Flanagans. First, Charles Flanagan and the move from Albemarle County
Virginia, to Cloverport, Kentucky. And then the story of Charles'
son, James Winwright Flanagan,
who moved the family from Cloverport, Kentucky to Rusk County,
Texas.
- Samuel C. Flanagin (1830-1923)

Yet another Tennessee Flanagan who found a way to avoid
becoming cannon fodder, during the Civil War. Phillip Flanagan's
book, How Do You Spell Flanagan? is filled with these little
treasures. This is only one of them

- Emmet Camp Flanagan (b.
1859)
-
My father, James Nelson Flanagan, was born in 1918 and
wrote the story of his youth in East Texas in a book he titled
"Growing Up in DeBerry" (Texas). He had the book printed and bound
and gave a copy to each of his children and grandchildren for HIS
75th birthday. It's filled with stories of his childhood during the
pre-depression and depression years, as well as tales of his
ancestors. The first story is about his father, Emmet Camp Flanagan.
It is written as if his father is reflecting on his life as he
brought their new son home from the hospital in the unheated Grant
touring car, driven over the dirt roads of East Texas by his driver,
Willie. I have tried to copy this word for word from my dad's
writing. Please excuse any mistakes I may have missed.

I am going to try to 'lay down' the story, recordings
and my beliefs from the earliest Flanagan in my line up to
approximately 1800. This is a condensed compilation of papers I have.
There is some of my own conjecture, opinion and intuitions. But this
is the best of what I believe right now. Much of the earliest
information from 1700 to 1747 I am grateful to ClanFlanagan for
providing, especially my cousin Micki Flanagan Perry.
