Background
James Madison Flake (1815–1850) was born on 22 June 1815, in Anson, North Carolina to parents Jordan Flake and Faithy Elizabeth Hanna. [1] He married Agnes Haley Love on 2 October 1838, in Lilesville, Anson, North Carolina. They were the parents of at least 6 sons and 2 daughters. [2] After meeting LDS missionaries in Mississippi in the early 1840's, James was converted and baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He then gradually worked his way west with the Saints in order to avoid rampant persecution. James, his family, and his slaves reached the Salt Lake Valley in 1847 where Brigham Young asked the Flake Family to travel on to California. James died on 23 May 1850, in San Joaquin, Fresno, California, United States, at the age of 34,[3]to and was buried in Vallejo Township, Sonoma, California, United States.[1]
