Elisha Flewelling
Thanks to a friend I have read postings on the Flewelling family. A posting by Thomas A. Murphy (October 30, 2001) agrees with the limited history I know about my Flewelling family.
My family bible and a few obituaries are all I have to go on. The earliest births, in 1885. Looks like the family tomb is in St. John New Brunswick at Cedar Hill Cemetery.
Great Grandfather - Elisha Flewelling - Died May 6th, 1889. Age 90. Born in New Brunswick province. Long time resident of St. John, and again located at Holderville, Long Reach. He was a ship carpenter and worked in the yards in the city and elsewhere in the province. He was a Free Baptist, and a regular attendant at Victoria Street Free Baptist Church. In his younger days he was connected with the Orange Order and the Sons of Temperance. He had seven sons and two daughters. The sons are William, George, Henry, J.H., Frederick, and Arthur R. Mrs. Colwell of Boston, and Mrs. Samuel Jackson of Charles Street, St. John are his daughters. He was twice married and his second wife survived him. His son's residence was at 178 Metcalf Street, St, John.
Grandfather - John Henry Flewelling - Died April 3rd, 1926. Age 72.
Home 44 Belleview Avenue - North End. St. John. Interned at Cedar Hill. Married Augusta E. Day married August 7, 1887.
Grandmother - Augusta E. Day - Died January 29th, 1936. Age 69.

Father - John Ernest - Died 1948. Age 52.

According to Mr. Murray's posting my father's only possible surviving sibling could have been Annie Flewelling.
Is the name Flewelling Welsh or Scottish. I have been to Wales and could not find any Flewellings listed in the phone books.
