- Name also spelled Fleury, and Flora . Joseph Flory came to America from Palatinate, Germany and landed at Philadelphia Aug. 28 1733. He was 51 years of age whe he arrived in the colonies. The vessel on which he and family came was named the "Hope". His wife's name was Mary Conrad. Soon after his arrival he settled in Rapho Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania where he lived the remainder of his life and reared his family...' This and almost all of the information on this family comes from "A Genealogy and History of Descendants of Jacob Flora of Franklin County, Virginia" compiled by Joel Cephas Flora, 1951. This Huguenot family is presumed to have fled from Fleury, France to the Palatinate Germany. Joseph (d. 1741) and Mary Fleure accompanied by six children arrived in Philadelphia on Aug 28, 1733 on the "Hope". During the massacre of St. Bartholomew (August 24, 1572), some Fleurys immigrated to North Italy, and others to Switzerland. At this time it is believed that Joseph J. Flory's ancestors have fled to the Palatinate area of Germany, where the family remained for the next 150 years. They settled in Rapho Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Their sons became members of the Conestoga congregation: Joseph Jr. in 1741, John in 1747, Jacob in 1748 and Abraham in 1756. In 1759 Joseph Jr. moved to Paxtang Tep (later part of Dauphin County) while John stayed on the orignal farm. These two brothers are the progenitors of the PA & MD Florys. Jacob, with his sister Katherine and her husband Jacob Neff, moved to Franklin Co VA, settling on the Magodee Creek in 1782. His descendants spell their name Flora. Abraham lived in Brothers Valley, Somerset County, Pennsylvania from 1796 to 1809, when he moved to Montgomery County, Ohio following his three sons: Joseph (m. Elizabeth Beegley), Emanuel (m Sarah Kagy) and Henry (m. Anna Kagy). Another son, John (m. Catharine Garber) a minister lived in Rockingham County, Virginia and a daughter Susannah (m. John Beeghly) remained in Somerset County, Pennsylvania in the Glades congregation. Abraham and Emanuel were the first ministers in the northern parts of Montgomery County. Many of the members of Emanuel's family stayed with the Old German Baptist Brethren after 1881. The Ohio and midwestern families generally spell their name "Flory". Among the descendants of Joseph Flory Sr. are over two hundred ministers, ten missionaries, five or six college presidents. The Brethern Enclycopedia Arrived on the Ship "HOPE".
