  Jerry Filbrun database [2004]: vital statistics Ñ 8 children ÑÊ& 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.
