About us
Identify and connect the living descendants of the Immigrants Jacob Flournoy, born January 5, 1663, and his nephew John James Flournoy, born November 17, 1686 . Jacob arrived in Jamestown, Virginia on September 20, 1700. Jacob, his wife, 2 sons, Francis and Jacque, and 2 daughters, arrived on the ship, “Peter and Anthony”, Galley of London. The family prospered and spread from Prince Edward, Brunswick, and Chesterfield County, Virginia down into North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and later to Texas. Several of the Flournoy males served in the Revolutionary War in Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia. Each of these gentlemen had large families with many sons repeating the same given names among the offspring of brothers as well as from generation to generation. This has made it difficult to place the ancestors within the correct Flournoy branch. It is hoped that Y-DNA testing will aid us in that process. We currently have the Y-DNA data for a descendant of Jacob, the immigrant and are seeking a Male Flournoy descendant of his nephew John Jacques Flournoy who also came to Virginia in 1700.
