Hi, Debbie, just a trivial matter to ask about:
"William died at the age of 28, in Liberty, Missouri, on Sept. 17, 1853, just a few weeks before the birth of Charles Ernest Flandro."
I have a copy of this portion of this branch's tree, from the LDS FamilySearch.org website, and my dates agree (I don't doubt yours, but it pays to doubt what one finds at FamilySearch, as useful a resource as it is).
However, by my estimate that would mean William died a few weeks before the first birthday of his son Charles, and not before his birth, which was in October of 1852.If the tale of his dying before his son's birth is true then one of the dates is off.
Let me know if you want a copy of the expanding collection of Flandr* folks in the database we've been working on.My email address can be found on my RootsWeb WorldConnect page at:

Also, see my note regarding John on that sister forum for surname Flandreau.
