ÔAlthough the Flora family has generally been considered German,
it isbelieved that earlier they were French. The pioneer,
Joseph J. Flure waslisted as a Huguenot. This name was applied
to French Lutherans by amonk in the course of one of his sermons
because it was customary for theFrench Protestants to congregate
around the palace of King Hugo duringthe evening. The various
spellings, such as Fleury, Flury, Fleuri, usedinterchangeably in
early records confirm this French origin. You willnow find the
following spellings in some communities; Flohr, Florey,Fleury
and Flori. The more common spellings are Flory and Flora.
The massacre of St. Bartholomew, which took place in France on
August 24,1572, resulted in the murder of fifty thousand
Protestants and thebeginning of the migrating of Huguenots to
Palatinate, Germany andsurrounding states. Tradition also
records that as a result of thispersecution, some of the Fleurys
also migrated from northeastern Franceinto Palatinate, Germany.
In 1618, the Thirty Years War began in Germanybetween the
Catholics and the Protestants. These religious wars andsevere
persecutions are very likely what caused the Flora?s to migrate
toAmerica.
In 1733, the ship Hope made its journey to America in three
stages. Thefirst part was down the Rhine to Rotterdam. The
second, from Rotterdamto some English port, probably Cowes, on
Isle of Wight, where the shipwas provisioned and clearance
papers were obtained. The third wascrossing the Atlantic. The
ship arrived in Philadelphia on August 28, 1733. Passage costs
were from$27.00 to $90.00 per person.
According to the passenger list A for the ship Hope and other
records,Joseph J. Flure and his wife, Mary, and seven children
arrived in Americaon August 28, 1733.
