  Notes	JAMES FLACK (1708-1802) From the History of the Flack Family by Horace E. Flack, 1948, published in 1972 by Helen Flack Cole: "The head of one of the Flack families [James] was born in Northern Ireland in 1708 and came to Pennsylvania about 1733 and married Ann Baxter soon after landing. To this couple were born 10 children - 9 sons and 1 daughter. Two of the children named John and William died in infancy, but two other sons were given these same names. The names of the sons were John, James, Joseph, Robert, William, Samuel and Benjamin and the daughter was named Sarah." "A Family tree has been prepared for some of the members of this James Flack and shows the following names of sons recurring time and time again in every generation - James, Joseph, William, John, George, Thomas - and many of these names occurred even in cases of the children on the distaff side of the family. One of the direct descendants of this James Flack, also named James, made a statement at the reunions of 1908 and 1909 to the effect that their ancestors who had emigrated to this country from Northern Ireland, were Presbyterians and had most likely been driven out of Scotland at the time of the persecution of the Christians (Protestants) in that country. The first James Flack lived to be 94 years of age and the James Flack who prepared the above statement for the reunion for the Flacks in Pennsylvania said in 1910 (when he was 76 years of age) that he was one of the fourth generation of the first Flack who emigrated to America and that there were then about three generations younger than his and that as the Flacks were generally blessed with large families, it was almost impossible to get a full genealogy of the descendant of their ancestor, James Flack, as the number would probably run into the thousands and would be found residing in many States. . . . "In this connection, it is interesting to note, that one of the descendants of James Flack is a career man in the State Department at Washington and is now American Ambassador to Bolivia."
