FLAGG, Henry Collins, lawyer, born near Charleston, in the parish of St,. Thomas, South Carolina, 5 January 1792; died in New Haven, Connecticut, 8 March 1863. He was graduated at Yale in 1811, studied law, and began practice in New Haven. He took an active part in politics, opposing the Federalist party in Connecticut, both as a public speaker and as editor and proprietor of the " Connecticut Herald." He was also clerk of the New Haven County court. In 1824 he returned to South Carolina, where he practiced law until 1833, when he again took up his residence in New Haven, in order to educate his children. He retired from the bar in 1842. From 1834 till 1839 he held the office of mayor. His attachment to his native state was strong, but his devotion to the Union was stronger, and, in common with his friend, John L. Petigru, he steadfastly opposed the nullifiers of 1832.
