Notes:
HISTORY OF GLOUCESTER, SALEM AND CUMBERLAND COUNTIES by Cushing & Sheppard originally published in 1883
"...remained on the homstead until twenty-one years of age either assisting in the labor of the farm or pursuing his studies. He engaged for three years in teaching, and Oct. 15, 1839, married Rachel, daughter of Deacon William Cook, of Greenwich, N.J. They had one daughter, Olivia.... Mr. Flanagin began his farming career in 1840, which was continued until 1876, when he retired and moved to Bridgeton, NJ. He has since engaged in the sale of agricultural fertilizing material, which embraces the preparing of formulas and the furnishing of material by which farmers are enabled to make their own fertilizers. He is greatly interested in the science of agriculture, and on the reorganization of the County Agricultural Society, was for three successive years its president. Mr. Flanagin is in no sense a politician, though frequently the incumbent of minor offices in the township. He is a member of the First Baptist Church of Bridgeton and one of its most efficient trustees."
1860 census shows a daughter, Kate Abel, age 13. Must be Rachel Miller`s daughter.
