Biographical History
John Jacobus Flournoy (1809-1879) was a resident of Clarke and Jackson counties, Georgia. Flournoy tried unsuccessfully to get elected or appointed to several political offices. He wrote numerous letters, essays, and pamphlets on an array of topics. He was considered deaf and dumb and fought against laws which classified the physically handicapped as being mentally retarded. He worked to persuade the state to establish a school for the deaf and dumb. For a full account of Flournoy' life, see E. Merton Coulter's John Jacobus Flournoy: champion of the common man in the antebellum south (Savannah, The Georgia Historical Society, 1942).

He wrote numerous letters, essays, and pamphlets on an array of topics, including the defense of monarchical rule in the United States, denunciations of the treatment of Indians in Georgia, condemnations of nullification and secession, and arguing for a state-supported school system. Flournoy, himself deaf, fought against laws which classified the physically handicapped as "mentally retarded." He worked to persuade the state to establish a school for the deaf. Merton Coulter's John Jacobus Flournoy: Champion of the Common Man in the Antebellum South (Savannah: Georgia Historical Society, 1942) provides a full account of Flournoy's life.
