FLORY/FLOREY GRAVEYARDS

     When this site was first set up, I received several requests for a list of important Flory/Flora/Florey graveyards.  Because I knew of only the ones connected to my own ancestors in Northampton County, Pennsylvania,  I did put off the request.  Donna O'Malley, however, recently came across the link below to a Florey graveyard in Macon, County Illinois.  Buried here are some of the descendants of Adolph Flohri of the E-line, one of the three brothers who immigrated here in 1754. Included in the site is a picture of John Flora's grave. John was a son of Adolph, born in 1760 in Pennsylvania. If any of you have research that you would like me to put up, please get in touch.

     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.

Johannes Flohri Related Cemeteries

(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.
