• Notes

  NOTES: James's father thought to be Richard, but some counter evidence suggests it may be John. Jim Flack - 25 Mar 2011 BIOGRAPHY: This is one of the old families of St. Lawrence County, New York, intermarried with one still older in New England. James Flack, a soldier of the war of 1812, was one of the early settlers of the town of Lisbon, St. Lawrence county. Andrew Newcomb is of record in Boston, Massachusetts, as early as 1663. The alliance between the two families was formed about 1850, when two brothers, descendants of James Flack, married sisters, descendants of Andrew Newcomb. Both families have produced many men eminent in the professions and in business. They have been valiant in war and no less useful in times of peace. There have been noted scientists in the family, skilled physicians, ministers of the Gospel and famous agriculturists. ~ James Flack, probably son of Richard Flack, was born in January, 1755, in Washington County, New York, died 1839. He was a resident of the town of Lisbon, St. Lawrence County, New York, prior to the war of 1812. Richard and John Flack settled there shortly after 1802. When James came, or what was the relationship between them {Richard and John}, is not shown. He was married and had a child four months of age at the time he entered the army. His wife, feeling unsafe in her home so near the scene of hostilities, mounted a horse and, taking her baby, rode to Plattsburg and thence to Hebron, Washington county, New York. James became an extensive lumberman of the county. In 1818, when the turnpike was built from Ogdensburg to Parishville, Thomas Craig built a hotel at a point on the load that soon became the business center of the town of Lisbon. A Post-Office was established, two churches built, an ashery, a store and a carriage shop. James Flack bought and enlarged the hotel which so improved the town that it was named in his honor, Flackville. He married Margaret McCarter, born in Washington county, New York, 1751, died 1835.
