Eleazer Flagg
Of Eleazer Flagg little is known; he was born in Boston 2 Feb 1703, and was at one time an inn-keeper there. In a deed of date 1740, we find Eleazer Flagg mentioned as a 'Retailer" of Boston...
Eleazer Flagg married mary Buck, of Scituate, presumably in the Spring of 1724 for their intentions of marriage were declared 17 Feb 1724 (Boston Marriages 1700-1751). He probably passed his entire life in boston, and his son William lived in the Boston home after his father's death in 1749; the son Gersom lived on the Lancaster farm, as is shown by memoranda of the estate. At Eleazer Flagg's death, his brother Gershom (b 1705) administered the estate, according to the Suffolk Co Mass Registry of Probate case 9832: '15 Oct 1749 Gershom Flagg of Boston housewright and glazier appointed administrator of the estate of his brother Eleazer Flagg, late of Boston innholder. Bondsmen, Joseph Callender and Joseph Callender Jr bakers.'
