Biography

Nancy "Nannie" Whitlock was born to Agnes Alford and Robert Whitlock on 14 Nov 1763 in St James Northam parish, British Colony of Virginia. ^[1]

On November 30, 1843, in Stokes County, NC, Nancy Flinn, 88, filed for widow’s pension stating that she is the widow of John Flinn dec’d who was a pensioner for his services in the Revolution at the rate of $96/annum; that she married him in 1784; that he died October 20th 1842; that she had the records in the County where she was married searched but no record of her marriage was found. She doesn’t name the County in which she was married but there is a letter in the file dated February 4, 1845, from JL Edwards, Commissioner of Pensions stating that the certificate of the Clerk of Caswell County, NC stating that there is no record of the marriage in that County and the affidavit of Susanna Brown says they were married around 1784 is not sufficient proof.
