FLORY/FLOREY GRAVEYARDS

     What follows beneath that is a record of Flory gravestones in various cemeteries throughout all of Northampton County. The Florys buried here are descendants of John II, son of the immigrant, Johannes Flohri, also of the E-line, who came here in 1754 with his half brother, Adolph. In general, I have listed everyone in alphabetical order. In the case where a child dies in infancy, he or she is generally listed with the parent. Significant Florys may be singled out and placed at or near the top of the listing.

     As more listings come in, I may divide this page into several for the different lines.

(1) Stone Church; (2) St. John's; (3) St. Peter's; (4) Salem Methodist (Bangor); (5) United Church of Christ, Flicksville, Pa (near Bangor); (6) Bender's Church, Plainfield Township (near Wind Gap); (7) St. Peter's Church (Seemsville, Pa.); (8) Bath Cemetery (Bath, Pa.), (9) Lower Nazareth Cemetery, (Nazareth, Pa.); (10) Easton Heights Cemetery (Easton, Pa.).

Johannes Flohri, one of the three brothers who emigrated here in 1754, eventually settled in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, where many of his early descendants are buried in various cemeteries throughout the area. According to Walter Bunderman, Johannes himself is buried at the Old Lutheran and Reformed Cemetery in Easton, Pennsylvania, but there is no marker to his grave.

Of Johannes' three sons, only one, John II, stayed in Northampton County, moving to the north of that area near what is now Route 611. All of the Northampton County Flory's are his descendants.

(1) Stone Church Cemetery

John II is buried at the Stone Church Cemetery, along with his wife, Elizabeth Illick (Illig). The stones are still standing. The graveyard, located alongside of Route 611 in an area that is variously called Centerville, Upper Mount Bethel, or Stone Church, not far from the Delaware River, is now in good repair, although at the beginning of the 20th century is was not, and John's gravestone was difficult to locate.

(5) United Church of Christ, Flicksville, PA

The cemetery of the United Church of Christ is a small cemetery that is located right outside of Bangor, Pennsylvania. Most Northampton County Florys were German Lutheran, which also accounts for the lack of Flory graves at this site.

Bender's Church is no longer a Lutheran Church, but the present denomination has kept up the graveyard nearby. Plainfield Township is close to Wind Gap, Pennsylvania.
