He was trained as a Blacksmith and a Gunsmith and worked as a Gunsmith and arms dealer. He married Mary Delaney. (No marriage record found so her last name is not proven.) He was the father of 2 daughters, Carrie D Fleek Henderson, and Laura May Fleek Forsythe
His grandchildren include: Lester Forsythe, Raymond Henderson, and Mary Hazel Henderson.
In 1850 Christina is a widow with her sons living in Indiana. In 1860 Nicholas and his brother Henry are living with their Uncle James Marstiller in Indiana. Charles is in Louisiana and Squire has moved to Iowa. In 1870 Christina is living with Squire in Iowa and is listed as a midwife. I haven't seen her after that in any records.
Squire Fleek and brothers all eventually migrated to Iowa. Charles died in Missouri during the Civil War. Henry died between 1865 and 1870. He was a Corporal during the Civil War. There are monuments to both brothers at Oak Hill Cemetery, Linn County Iowa. Sister Catherine died in 1848 and is buried near her father. Squire Fleek was still alive in the 1910 Census living with his daughter Laura May Fleek Forsythe . He died about a year later.
