     Sometime prior to 1856, when Phillip was married in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, he emigrated from Birkenau, Germany to the United States. Chambersburg, a town located near Pittsburgh, was also the destination about a century earlier of George Flory, immigrant son of Johannes Flory, who was one of three brothers who came to America in 1754. It is tempting to conclude that the family remained in touch for about 100 years since this first immigration and that Phillip came to Chambersburg because it was known to him from family lore. There is no evidence, however, that this is, in fact, what happened. The original Johannes was illiterate, and, if the families in America and Germany did keep in touch, it would have had, initially, to have been through a third party.
Still, the possibility is there. Chambersburg is not a large area, and the fact that two members of a small family settled there, albeit about 100 years apart, seems to be more than simply coincidental.

Phillip's daughter, Emma, did move to Pittsburgh, and, perhaps, more of the family may have done likewise. There are rumors today from European Florigs that they may have either distant or ancient relatives in that city. There are, for example, records of a Frederick Ludwig Florig having been born in Pittsburgh on December 7, 1875, and a John L. Florig, born in Pittsburgh, having married an Anna Shoap on March 2, 1903 in Chambersburg. Some Florigs also appear around the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century in Thorton, Cooke County, Illinois.
