Landon Cabell Flournoy, Attorney-at-law, of Morganfield, is the son of William Cabell and Marha [Martha] Watkins (Venable) Flournoy. His father, a lawyer of Prince Edward County, Va., was born at Union Hill, Nelson County, Va., in 1808, married in Prince Edward County, Va., in 1834, and died there in March, 1861. Mr. Flournoy's mother was born in Prince Edward County, Va., in 1816, and is still living. His grandfather, John James Flournoy, of Prince Edward County, married Ann Cabell, of Union Hill, Nelson County. His maternal grandparents, William and Fannie (Nance) Venable, were both natives of Prince Edward County, Va. Mr. Flournoy's ancestry runs back into the Huguenot refugees, who fled from France to this country early in the seventeenth century.
Our subject was born in Farmsville [Farmville], Prince Edward County, Va., March 4, 1850. He received some eight years training in the "old field schools" of Virginia, and then went to Hampden Sidney College, where he completed a four-years' course. On January 15, 1873, he came to Union County. He taught schools in the terms of 1873-4 and 1874-5; he had, previous to this, taught in Boone County, and he has always been a most acceptable teacher, doing good work, and possessing rare skill as an instructor; he held the office of School Commissioner for some time, and made an efficient public servant in that capacity. In the spring of 1875, he began reading law, and in October, 1875, was admitted to practice in the Union County bar. Since then he has been employed in a general civil and criminal practice in this county.
On February 27, 1877, he was married to Mattie Givens, in Uniontown. She was the daughter of Thomas R. and Elizabeth Martin Givens; born December 7, 1857, and died in Leesburg, Florida, on May 9, 1884. Bessie Venable, Sallie Wright and Martha Watkins are the children born of this union.
Mr. Flournoy has 202 acres of land east of Morganfield, all of which is cultivated and rented. He has been a member of the Presbyterian Church for ten years, and is now a deacon in that denomination; he is a Mason, and holds the office of genial gentleman, possessed of a large fund of anecdote and with all the qualities that go to make a popular man, and he will undoubtedly rise high in his profession.
Landon married Susan Cabell Cobbs on 3 May 1888 in Sutherlin, Halifax County, Virginia, USA. Susan (daughter of John F. Cobbs and Mary P. Flournoy) was born on 5 Nov 1864 in Danville, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Papers of Harriet V. Miller: "When Tarleton and Arnold invaded VA, a detachment of their forces passed through Pr. Edw. Co. on general plundering expedition. They raided 'Slate Hill," with the purpose of capturing Nathaniel Venable, but he escaped them, having received in time warning of their approach. They committed some robberies, destroyed some furniture and one of their number pointed at the breast of Mrs. Venable, demanded that she reveal her husband's whereabouts or he would shoot her down. Her calm reply was, "Fire away, my husband has his country to defend." At this instant an officer intervened and ordered away the man who had offered the indignity, severely reprimanding him."
[Note from Sandra Lake Lassen, 1999: I don't know the source of this family story, but find it spurious, as what "hero" would hide from the enemy, and leave his wife there to deal with them?]
