I descend from > Paralee's sister, Mary Ellen.

      News & Echoes
      January 1991

      By Bruce A. Baker

      With Mothers Day approaching I thought that I would send some information on a maternal line in memory of the mothers of the Flynt family. Perry Flynt son of John and Catherine Flynt married December 29, 1706 (FHL975.664 V25u) Martha Halbert.

      Martha Halbert was the daughter of John Halbert and Margaret Hampton. John Halbert Sr. born Abt 1741 in Caroline County Virginia was the first child of Joel Halbert Sr. and Elizabeth Francis Jones. John Halbert enlisted March 1, 1777 in the Virginia Regt. and was last on the rolls dated April 6, 1778 at Valley Forge, Pa. He moved to Tennessee possibly about 1811and died about 1820 in Lincoln County Tennessee. Margaret Hampton was the daughter of James Hampton. In James Hampton's will (FHLF#1579656) he not only mentions his daughter Margaret Halbert, but land adjoining Thos. Flynt and witnesses Martin Flynt and Hasten Flynt.

      Joel Halbert Sr. was son of William Halbert and Mary the widow of Thomas Wood (Essex County Virginia Will Book 6 for Wm. Halbert and Mary Taylor and Deeds and Wills No. 13 for administration of estate of Thomas Wood). William was married before February 10, 1709 and was dead before October 18, 1718. Mary remarried to William Taylor. Joel Halbert Sr.'s wife Francis Jones is reported by Boddie in Historical Families Vol IX pp.193-4 to be the daughter of John Jones and Frances Randolph, however, I have located no proof.

      Margaret Hampton's father James Hampton is possibly the James Hampton that is the son of John Hampton Jr. and Margaret Wade. John Hampton Jr.'s line goes back through William Hampton into England.
      [NI0305] Calvin Tarpley Flynt died of a gun shot would in New Orleans during the Civil War. On the 8th of March 1864, his wife Mary Wilson Flynt had given birth to a new son, Named for his father Calvin T. Flynt. The child lived 13 days and died on 21 March 1864. On the 30th of April 1864, Mary age 25, who was living in Hopkinsville, Gonzales County, Texas died leaving two sons Joe Halbert Flynt, age 7 and John M. Flynt, age 4. On the 23rd of May 1864, Calvin Tarpley was killed. Oney Percilla Flynt, sister to Calvin Tarpley, and her husband Dr. Milam Howell of Belmont, Gonzales County, Texas, did not have children and they took the orphan sons and reared them to manhood.
      [NI0919] This could be Catherine Perry or some other Catherine/Katerine.

      Catherine's maiden name may have been "Meredith" but that cannot be proven. If one examines the sequence of the naming of John's and Catherine's children, the pattern commonly used in those days would lead to the mother's maiden name of Meredith.

      NI0303] Will of Perry Flynt

      In the name of God Amen, I Perry Flynt of the County of Madison and State of Alabama, do make and declare this my last will Testament in manner and form following. I assign my soul unto the hands of Almighty God hoping and believing in a remission of my sins by the merits of Jesus Christ, and my body I commit to the earth to be buried at the discretion of my Executor known after named; and my worldly estate I give and divide as follows.

      First after the death of my wife, Martha Flynt the crop that is then on hand is to be finished. Then all the Negroes belonging to my Estate are to be valued and divided by five disinterested persons amongst my children except one, not named, and that one, I give to my son Amasa Flynt, to be taken out of my stock of Negroes, at the time of a division amongst the other children, without being valued to him, as his own property and after taking out one Negro as his own, he the said Amasa Flynt is to have an equal share of the Negro property with the other children.

      I also give to my son, Amasa Flynt all that he can make off of my Plantation after supporting the family each year during his Mother's life time.

      Secondly, I have heretofore given to my daughter, Elizabeth Thomasson one Negro girl named, Niner, which I value to her at five hundred dollars and she Elizabeth Thomasson is not to have any more of the Negro property.

      Thirdly, I give and bequeath unto the heirs of Pendleton Flynt deceased, whose names are Lucy Ann Flynt, James Colwell Flynt, Younger Tarpley Flynt and Elizabeth Pendleton Flynt, my wish is that each of these children receive a common English education to be paid out of my Estate and each to have one hundred dollars in money and a good horse, bridle and saddle as they become of age.

      Fourthly all the stock of every description is to be sold at the time of said division except a cow and calf to be given to each of the following children to wit; Jeremiah Flynt, Amasa Flynt, Julia Flynt and Nairas Flynt. These children are each to have a bed and furniture equal to those that have had heretofore and all the residue of my household and kitchen furniture and all the lands belong to my estate are to be sold and these children who get Negro property of less value are to have their portion made up to them out of the proceeds of the land and other property that is to be sold the balance of those monies are to be divided amongst all my children except Pendleton Flynt's children who have been theretofore provided for.

      Fifthly, I hereby appoint my son Amasa Flynt my Executor of this my last will and testament and my wish is and I hereby expressly declare that my said Executer, his Executor or Executors, shall not be charged with made accountable for more of the monies or effects of my Estate than shall have come into their possession respectively by virtue of this my will, or with or for any loss which I shall happen to the said monies or Estates here by me given to the heirs of my Estate or any part of my personal Estate so as such loss happens without his or their willful neglect or default. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this sixteenth day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty six.
