Bartholemew Flegg

  General Notes:

In The English Ancestry of Thomas Flegg, by Gardiner Bartlett, Bartlett gives John's son, Allen Flegg, as the father of Thomas Flegg, who migrated to New England. In Genealogical Notes on the Founding of New England, Earnest Flagg considers the names of Thomas Flegg children as more of an indicator that Thomas Flegg's father was Bartholemew Flegg. Which ever the case, John Flegg is still the father of both Bartholemew and Allen Flegg. ⁵⁶⁷

• Background Information. ⁵⁶⁷
It is generally accepted that Thomas Flegg, the emigrant of 1637, is the son of Bartholomew Flegg. This is shown by the naming of his children, Bartholomew, Allen, Michael, John, Elizabeth and Rebecca.

Bartholomew Flegg, first of Whinbeigh and then of Shipdham, born about 1585, is said to have had two sons of whom Thomas was born at Whinbeigh before he moved to Shipdham. If this is then correct, then Thomas would have named one son John from his grandfather, another Bartholomew from his fahter, Allen from his Uncle, Rebecca from his aunt and Michael from a cousin.
