John Flagg
Of Lieut Gershom Flagg's ten children, the third child and third son was John, who was born 25 May 1673, probably in Woburn MA; he moved to Boston about 1700, and died there about 1732, his will being proved 19 Dec that year. He married previous to 1700 Abiah Kornic, a native of England. He and his wife sold land in Woburn in 1699, and in 1717 he purchased estate on Hanover Street in Boston, of Samuel Vickers, where the American House now stands (1906). According to Dr Bond, Watertown, John Flagg was a tanner.
'By his will he gave his negro boy Pompey to his son Ebenezer forever, and his house and land on Hanover Street to his son Gershom, upon his paying the other heirs their respective portion of its appraised value. His wife died 3 Sep 1715 and was buried in the Granary burying ground, Tremont Street, Boston, where a stone with an inscription marks her grave. Four of her children were buried by the side of her grave.' (North's Augusta).
Lucius CS Flagg visited the grave of Abiah Flagg in 1904 and found it situated about midway between the tomb of John Hancock and that of Benjamin Franklin's parents, in what is now called the 'Old Granary Burying-ground.' On her tombstone is inscribed: 'Here lyes ye body of Abiah Flagg, wife of John Flagg, d Sept. 3, 1715'. And on the headstones of four of the children appear the following: 'Mr Gershom Flagg, died March 23, 1771, aged 66'. 'Hannah Flagg, died Dec. 12, 1702, aged 1 yrs 8 mos'. 'Ebenezer Flagg, died Aug. 27, 1708, aged 4 yrs'. 'Thomas Flagg, died Sept. 1713, aged 1 yr'...
