Searching for information on the Flaningan/Flaningam family that came from Harrison/Greene/Knox Counties in Indiana to Burleson County in 1860.
Arison Crecelius FLANINGAM (with an "M"), born about 1799 in New Jersey, was in Harrison County, Indiana by 1820. His family shows up on the tax rolls in Harrison County in the early part of that century. Father is believed to be Samuel and mother was Sarah.
Arison Sr. married Mary Polly Zubrotin Crecelius in 1826 and they are believed to have had one daughter before Mary died in January 1828. Mary was also the mother of Jesse Gaines Crecelius from a previous relationship in Tennessee. Jesse left the Flaningam household after his mother died and migrated to Mississippi where he became a primitive Baptist preacher. According to the book "The Descendants of Jesse Gaines Crecelius 1815-1900" by Robert L. Crecelius and Sara Stone Williams, his mother was alleged to have had two children during her marriage to Arison Sr. but this has not been proven, and the 1830 census in Harrison County only shows one female that may be Mary's. The other young male would be Arison Jr. who was the firstborn to Arison Sr's second marriage.
Arison Sr. married Letitia Sinclair on 11 August 1828 in Harrison County.
Arison Crecelius Jr. was born 25 December 1829 to Arison Sr. and Letitia in Harrison County (Obit and death cert in my possession) and was with the family on the 1850 and 1860 censuses, and then turns up back in Greene County Indiana married to Ann Mariah Lehman where they had four children, two that survived to adulthood. Arison Jr. died in Greene County in 1894 and is buried in Bloomfield Cemetery.
Daughter Sarah Ann's line (married to Watson and Smith) has been documented. She stayed in Texas.
Son James enlists in the Civil War and has "disappeared" as have his brothers William and George. Looking for information on these three siblings. It is possible they all went back to Indiana or even Louisiana where it is believed they had relatives.
Nelson E. Flaningan marries Matilda Moses and stays in Texas where he has several children. Nelson's daughter Ida Letitia married a T.B. Porter in 1892 and is widowed by 1900. Ida had three known children with Mr. Porter. Nelson is believed to have been named for his mother's brother or a cousin. Nelson is a Sinclair family name, as are the names Sarah, George and William.
Also looking for information on where Arison Sr. died and where Letitia was living when she died in 1897. I have lost her in 1870 and 1880 but am still on the hunt for her in those years.
This family has ties with the Southern Indiana Sinclair families and Arison Sr. purchased land in Greene County Indiana in 1844 near Bloomfield close to the White River where other members of the Sinclair families were living (i.e. Nelson Sinclair, Wayman Sinclair, Horatio Sinclair and others)
