Descendants of William Flewellen (1720 VA - 1786 NC)

Billie Harris - May 25, 2011

Note:   We have not had a Flewellen do a DNA for us so don't know if they're connected with any of our Lewellyn/Lewallen/etc lines or not.

The counties for Bristol Parish where William Flewellen was born consisted of Henrico, Prince George, and Dinwiddie.   Richard, his father, was probably the one we find in Charles City County in the early 1700s.
