Two more items from Martha J. Abbey's, "Llewellyn Traces", Vol. 5, No. 2, p21 and p. 30. The first is from a article, "The Fluellens of Halifax County, North Carolina" (p. 21) part of which reads:
William Fluellen (ca. 1725-ca.1786) and Betsey (Betty) Holloway were married about 1750, perhaps in Halifax County, North Carolina. We believe William Fluellen probably belongs somewhere among the descendants of Abel ffuwellen, of whom we wrote in Llewellyn Traces 5:1, pages 10 and 11.
I am apparently not in possession of Vol. 5, No. 1; but perhaps someone else is. Martha continues with an introduction to the wills of William and Betty, which are transcribed separately beginning on p. 21, and continued on p. 30. I'll abstract these.

In the same issue of, "Llewellyn Traces", Martha J. Abbey transcribes parts of a memorial for Mrs. Nancy (Fluellin, Baldwin)Greene, wife of Augustin Greene, of Greene Co., Georgia who d. 19JUL1843.The article is, 'Nancy Fluellin Baldwin Greene: A Mmemoir from 1843'. It says that Nancy was a native of Nash Co., North Carolina, that her father was Howell Fluellin (in the wills above), that Howell d. OCT1805, that Nancy was b. 1793, 1st m. Upson Co., Georgia 6APR1813 Charles William Baldwin (b. 1787, d. 1827)of Greene Co., m. 2nd Augustin Greene in 1834. The article is followed by a commentary which refers to the notes of Duke Wixson Jones (who supplied a copy of the memorial) to the effect that Howell Flewellin m. Elizabeth Daniel, ws a son of William amd Betsy (Holloway) Flewellen; and that William was a son of Richard "Dick" and Betsy (Taylor) Flewellen (whose shipwreck story is referred to elsewhere in this forum.) Nancy was the eldest daughter, her sisters being: Sally, Mary ("Polly"), Elizabeth and Temperance; and her brother ws Loderick (d. Nash Co., Geortia 1823) m. Mary Branch.
