    THOMAS FLACK (1735-1782) and JANE McCUISTION (1735-1802).

    Extracts from the Book "The Forest City Lynching of 1900" by J Timothy Cole.

    Thomas Flack of Guilford obtained a grant from Lord Granville for 181 acres along the Walnut Branch in Rowan County (now Guilford) in 1761 and operated a grist and saw mill on or near these Lands.

    He was an early member of Buffalo Presbyterian Church, and 'Rankin's History' refers to him as "a young man" at the time of his arrival. Buffalo Prebyterian was established by Scots-Irish who were part of the Nottingham Coloney that purchased a large tract of land (over 20,000 acres) on Buffalo and Reedy Fork Creeks and were among the first settlers of present day Guilford in the early 1750's.

    Probably soon after his arrival in Rowan/Guilford Thomas Flack married Jane (or Jean) McQuistion/McQuiston (1735-1802), the daughter of one of the original Nottingham colonists, James McQuiston (1700-1766) who was born in County Derry, Ireland, and received a Granville land grant along the Reedy Fork in 1753. Thomas Flack witnessed James McQuistons will which was proven in Rowan court in 1766.

    James McQuiston also had (possibly) a brother Robert, and Thomas Flack also witnessed Robert McQuistons will, proven in Rowan Court in 1766.

    Thomas Flack was a Patriot of some note and was active as a leader in the Regulation Movement or 1770-71, he was apparently implicated with the Hillsborough mob that attacked the infamous Tory Edmund Fanning, demolishing his house and brutally whipping him. Evidence also shows it's quite possible he was present at the battle of Alamance.

    Later during the revolution, Thomas Flack served as Captain and commanded a company in a Guilford Militia regiment led by Col. James Martin. Surviving Revolutionary War account books indicate that he participated in expeditions to Cross Creek (now Fayetteville) and Wilmington in early 1776 and he was possibly at the Battle of Moore's Creek.

    Thomas Flack and wife Jane sold their Walnut Branch tract of land in 1773 to a John Chambers.

    In August 1778, a 300 acre Guilford land warrant was applied for by "Jane Flack, WIDOW", for the lands upon which Thomas Flack had "formerly lived ... including an improvement whereon the said Thomas Flack had a grist and saw mill". This grant was issued to Jane Flack in 1783.
