Notes:
-Occupation according to Death record: Yeoman.
-Marriage in First Church of Needham: "No. 47 November 4. 1798 Married Mr. Daniel Flagg of Weston, to Miss Phebe Stevens of Needham" - by S. Palmer
-Chelmsford Vital Records confused in areas, sometimes calling his wife Phebe Sheperd, instead of Phebe Stevens. Phebe Stevens is most likely correct, since the actual marriage record lists Phebe Stevens. The Death Certificate of their son Solomon also lists his mother as "Phebe Stevens"
-"Today I went and saw the grave of Daniel and his wife Phebe. His gravestone says that he died in 1858 at the age of 83 years, and Phebe's is in the same stone and hers appears to say 12 December 1839, but the "39" is difficult to read so I am not sure. I took a photo and can send you a scan if it comes out clearly. They are both buried in West Lawn Cemetery in Littleton, MA. Also their son Solomon (with wife Mary Hutchins is buried there) and he died 17 Mar 1891. I also saw the stone of the sibling Abel Stevens and his family. I can send the rest of these death dates if you are interested." - Kim genealogy23@hotmail.com
-Middlesex County Will index lists Will for Daniel Flagg of Littleton in 1858. This is most likely him. Need to send for will.
