futrell and flake family
I am researching my Flake family and have hit a brick wall. I can't find any info. Word of mouth from my great grandmother states that my ancestor Peter Futrell Flake was born in Alabama in 1842, when he was 9 years old he ran away to Mississippi, got a job in a local store and married the store keepers daughter (sara Kellis)years later (1869). Because he ran away so young I can't place him for sure in any families by censuses. My great grandmother says Peter's mom was kin to Governor Futrell of Arkansas ( which is where his middle name Futrell came from). SHe also said the reason Peter ran away at age 9 was because he didn't get along with his new step father. Does anyone know of any Futrell women who might fit into this puzzle that I have? I would love any information or a new starting point!!!!
