Family of Georgetown County, S.C. and Charleston. Ebenezer Flagg (1795-1838) was
a physician, plantation owner, and S.C. state senator. He married Margaret
Elizabeth Belin (1801-1885), and they were the parents of nine children
including Dr. Ebenezer Belin Flagg (1822-1856) and Dr. Arthur Belin Flagg
(1828-1893). Dr. Joshua John Ward Flagg (1860-1938) of Brookgreen Plantation
(Georgetown County, S.C.) was the son of Arthur Belin Flagg (1828-1893) and
