Our reunion is open to all who may be interested in family history of the early pioneers
of southern Indiana. I don't recognize any of your family names as being connected,
but that doesn't mean they aren't; especially if they were in the area prior to
about 1820 when few pioneer families were around and most intermarried. The two
Hattabaugh families arrived about 1809, one directly from Augusta Co., VA. and the other
from Delaware by way of a short stay in KY. The Fleener, Fleener and Flener clan all came
from southwest Virginia around Abingdon and Mendota with the exception of one brother who
first settled in KY. His was the first divorce recorded in Indiana Territory. His wife
refused to move from their settlement in KY. and he and the kids moved without her! The
Fleenors came to southern Indiana about 1812. The Flener spelling was most prevalent in
the KY. by the same family line as the Virginia group who mostly used Fleenor and Fleener.
In southern Indiana the "!
o" and the "e" are both used, but seem to be concentrated in one way in
one county and the other in another county. Our families are connected with Duncan,
Nicholson, Gater, Johnson, Trueblood, Turley, Carter, Roney, Blackwood, Shields, Weddle,
Kemp, Holmes, Potts, Walker, Robbins and many other Washington and Jackson county
pioneers. The list is endless. Come join us and sort through some of our genealogy info
to locate possible connections.
