Lakey connection?

Mary Kay-Don't think I can help you much. My Flinn/Lakey connection was much earlier. Hezekiah Flinn m. Mary Lakey in Surry Co., NC 1789. They have 2 sons Thomas W. and James. We then have him m. to Elizabeth Capps in Knox Co., TN and they have 3 children: Abraham b ca 1810, Martin b ca 1802, and Rhoda b ca 1806. What I have on them is 1790 census Hezekiah and Mary are shown with 1 w male over 16, 4 under 16, and 3 white female. These were possibly hers from her previous marriage to Thomas Elliott except for the youngest. Hezekiah did not seem to enjoy his marriage many years, as the 1800 census shows Mary alone with her family. It is not known whether Hezekiah was deceased or divorced or left. As I recall someone left Mary and children some property in his will. Not much help, but might give a clue for some of the confusion. Nancy
