PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY, VIRGINIA, LINE. Of the descendants of Thomas, of Prince Edward, Colonel J. P. Fitzgerald has a complete tabulated list in manuscript.

GIBSON FLOURNOY's Line.—Mrs. M. A. Norcross, No. 40, West End, Atlanta, Ga., has the table of this sub-division.

JOHN FLOURNOY HENRY, of the Louisville Trust Company, Louisville, Ky., possesses a complete detailed tabulation of all the line of Mathews, the Kentucky pioneer, including the latest births, while many other subdivisions are more or less complete.

IN CONCLUSION, it is not at all intended to pretermit or abate this work. Hundreds of Flournoys have as yet only partially authenticated their descent, and are at work thereon. It is hoped to aid all these and finally to compile a complete family-book, European as well as American.
