The Flanagan clan was not known to have ever settled in Harpers Ferry. Instead, they traveled further and settled for a short period in present day Bardane. Later, they moved to the outskirts of Harpers Ferry. The exact area of their second settlement in Jefferson County is unknown. Unionville (Uvilla), Potomac View near Pack Horse Ford, and, of course, their Oak Grove (Bakerton), residence are all mentioned in various records.
In order to determine their exact movements in Jefferson County, deeds will need to be studied further.
