General Notes: Husband - John Fleninken


He was a native of Pennsylvania, but for many years a citizen of North Carolina, where he remained all through the revolutionary war, serving gallantly as a member of that band that has passed into history as Gen. Marion's minutemen. He was a delegate to the Mechlenburg convention, which adopted the famous Mechlenburg declaration of independence in 1775, and was one of the signers of that immortal paper. He was a man of high standing and great influence in the south. When the war was over, his wife having in the meantime died, he returned to Pennsylvania, bringing with him two children, a son and daughter. On Mr. Fleninken's return to the north, he was appointed one of the first associate judges of Greene County, and served with honor in that position.
