Born in England in 1700's. Believed to have lived in VA andis died in Wilmington, NC.
James Flowers was a man of means. My understanding is that his 1st wife was Marianna (my line) and they had twins (1-a girl-died. She was the Widow of cousin of James Flowers. This cousin's name was John Gibbs.(No children that I am aware of. James and John had been close -traveling thru NC and TN together and having land/assests in both states. When the male(twin)child of Marianna and James lived --they named him JOHN GIBBS FLOWERS, Now is the part I am unsure of---My records indicate that Marianna died before the birth of other children. James Flowers remarried. I do not know this wife's name. They had 11? children--all of whom grew up in NC. John Gibb Flowers moved to West TN. Living in Haywood County and then Tipton County, TN. He married Mary Jane Cotten/Cotton. She was a direct decendent of Thomas Robinson Mumford. This line can be followed on/on. I have references to a David Flowers who was the 1/2 brother of John Gibb Flowers moving into West TN. at some point. He may be the one in my line who moved on to Miss. Does anyone out there have this James Flowers Line?
