son, Michael, born December 25, 1783. They came to the United States and settled in Indiana in 1796 when Michael was thirteen years old. On August 15, 1803 when he was twenty, Michael was issued a commission as ensign in the military by Governor William Henry Harrison. The early Flakes are buried in the Flake cemetery in Morgan county, Indiana. The name, Michael was passed down through the generations. John B. Flake’s grandfather, Michael, was born May 30, 1820 in Dearborn county, Indiana. My dad John B., always said that he had heard that after his grandfather’s wife, Polly, died he had moved to Kentucky, remarried and raised another family that he knew nothing about.
Michael was married to Polly Drake in Johnson county, Indiana in 1840. They had six children. Their son Amos Wesley, born in November, 1855 in Johnson county, was the father of my dad, John B. Flake. Amos married Nancy Ann “Annie” Bland on February 2, 1882. She was found dead in the barn born in February, 1916. It is thought she may have been killed by a horse. Amos died in 1941. They are buried in Bald Hill Cemetery near the viaduct in Greene county.
Amos and Annie had ten children, three died as infants. A set of twins, Lula and Lando were buried on property belonging to Guy Wells, which was later to become a hog lot.
