ChartsDescendents of Hans Flohri
Note  Named after godfather, Nicholas Adolph Hardwich, a miller. 
Christening Nicholas Adolph Flohri was christened; Named after godfather Nicholas Adolph Hardwich a miller from Birkenau Germany. 
Research-Note Nicholas Adolph was. undoubtedly, the same person as the "Adolph Flohri" who appears on the ship list of the John and Elizabeth in 1754. They both spell their name as "Flohri"; they both were part of an extended family of carpenter-farmers; they were approximately the same age; and there is no record of him in the local church records after his baptism, indicating that left the town at some point.~. 
Note*  Adolph Flohri is the founder of the E-2 line. His descendents are listed in the main USA E-Line tree. They are not listed here.

Adolph Flohri settled in Mt. Bethel Township of Northampton County, Pa. on June 18, 1774. By June 4, 1787, he sold his land and was living in Botecourt, Va. Records seem to indicate that he may have been living in Virginia at the time he sold his Pa. holdings. He moved to Wythe County, Va. in 1791, where he took up over 300 acres of land, and 88 more in 1796 (see below). He willed his property to his sons, John and David, in 1819, who, along with him, had served in the Revolution.

His name appears as "Flohri" and "Flor" on ship lists of the "John and Elizabeth" on which he came to Philadelphia in 1754. He was apparently literate, unlike his two brothers. Nevertheless, on his will of 1819. he leaves his mark rather than his signature.

There are several records of his presence in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, where it appears that his name is sometimes listed as Adam. Perhaps transcribers could not understand his accent, perhaps translators of the German script misread the name, or perhaps Adolph was also known as Adam. One of his descendants has joked that the family goes back to Adam.

In the records of the first Reformed Church of Easton, an Adam Flori and his wife, Catharina, were sponsors of Daniel Achenbach, son of Philip and Maria, at his baptism on Nov. 18, 1781 (b. Oct. 17, 1781). A Philip Acheback was on the ship the John and Elizabeth with Adolph.

Adolph Flory took the oath of allegiance to the state of Pennsylvania before Samuel Rea on Dec. 27, 1777. He was also, along with Philip Schuch, witness on April 27, 1784 to the will of Nicholas Fell, husband of Margaret and father of Henry, Mary Magdalin, and Catreeny. Fell was from Mt. Bethel Township (see Abstract of German Wills in Marx Library, Easton Pa).

In the Pa. Archives, series 3, vol. 26, p.77 (Northampton Warrantees of Land 1730-1898), Adolph Florey is listed as having 16 acres of land on June 18, 1774.
He does not appear on county tax lists to the extent that his brother Johannes Flory does (Book C, Vol. 70, page 236 of the Department of Internal Affairs of Harrisburg lists the holding as 39 acres). However, in "Tax Lists of Northampton County," p. 132, an Adam Florah is listed twice under Mt. Bethel, an area where Adolph lived. No tax figure is given, only the name.

He appears several times in the Pa. Archives for his military service. In the 6th series, vol. 3, p.809, he is listed among the "Class Roll of Male White Inhabitants of the 8th Co. of Militia in the 5th Battalion of Northampton for 1785 under Capt. Peter Meddagh as Adolph Flora, class 4. John Flora, probably his son, is listed as class 6. In series 5, vol. 8, page. 92, Adolf Flory is listed on the class roll as class 6 in the 2nd battalion for 1782 under Capt. John Lyle, with David as corporal. An Adulf Flory served under Capt. Lyle in 1781 (series 5, vol 8, 163).

Perhaps the most intriguing reference to Adolph's military career is recorded in Pa Archives, series 3, vol 6, p. 767. Under the heading of "Tour Fines" for the second battalion under Samuel Rhea (presumably the same Rea who took his oath of allegiance) appears the name of Adolph Flora, who apparently was fined
100 pounds sterling. It's difficult to imagine Flora paying such a steep fine.

Mary B. Kegley in EARLY ADVENTURERS ON THE WESTERN WATERS VOL II: THE NEW RIVER OF VIRGINIA IN PIONEER DAYS 1745-1800, by Green Publishers, Inc. Orange, Virginia writes

"Adolph Flora and his two sons, John and David, are listed in the 1810 census when all were over age 45. Adolph wrote his will on March 1, 1819, and it was probated on June 8th of the same year (Wythe County Will Book 2, page 276). He devised to his son John the lands they both resided on. Son David was to have the lands where he lived, and a line was to be run by Francis J. Carter, separating the lands of John and David. David was to have life interest and then his heirs were to have his lands, although David had already sold some of the lands to his brother John. Daughter Christina Grabill was to have $100. Daughter Katherine Flora was to have money and all other personal property, as well as the unimproved tract of land adjoining the heirs of Joseph Honaker, deceased. Son John was to support Katherine, and if that were done, then John Flora and John Draper were to act as her guardians. After her death the land was to go to John Flora and his heirs. The Negro man Jacob was to have his freedom. Son John Flora and John Draper were to act as executors.
"An appraisment of Adolph Flora's estate listed among other things $383.45 in silver, a still valued at $45, 4 cows, 7 young cattle, pots, pails, corn, wheat, 8 !/2 yards of broadcloth, a bee stand, a bed, a chest, and a bay horse."

Wythe County Deed records show that Adolph Florey [sic] received 380 acres of land from John and Elizabeth Lowthain on Macks Run (Alexander Mack's Land, east and south of the Draper Homestead) of New River on Sept. 12, 1791. On the same day, he also received 45 acres in the same area from the Lowthains. In 1796, he obtained 88 acres on entry on treasury warrant.

In a Viriginia tax list of 1800 in the district of James Newell, Commissioner, an Adolph Flora is listed with "one male over 16, 1 slave, and three horses."
In 1810, he is listed on a Wythe Co., VA list with "1 male over 45, 1 female over 45, and 2 slaves." 
Name Variation  Nicholas Adolph Flohri was also known as Adolphus. 
Marriage* He married (?) Catherine. 
Birth*15 Oct 1734 Nicholas Adolph Flohri was born on 15 Oct 1734 at Birkenau, Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany.

Research-Note* On February 19, 1752, Peter Flohri borrowed 150 florin at 5% interest from Wambolt magistrate Leonhard Krauss, giving as surety his house and 1/2 acre of land along "Thorn Way." Peter's brother Johann, who was a carriage maker like himself, had died the year before. Perhaps Peter was attempting to raise money to buy the business from his heir(s).
Around 1720, Wambolt records list him as receiving an income of 4 gulden a year from retailing brandy.
On April 9, 1709, Peter was fined, along with Lenhard Jost and Hans Paul Schab (son of Hans Schab), 1 gulden for playing hazard games on Easter Monday after he had received communion on Easter Sunday.
It is unclear as to how many wives or children Peter had. The Birkenau Protestant church records list him as having two, but there is an early family list that suggests that Peter had another wife named Eva, who was Catholic, and with whom he had at least three children, including a Simon and a Johannes George, and possibly a fourth. The Birkenau Catholic Church records indicate that there was a Simon and a Johannes Georg Flohr, who correspond exactly to the Simon and Johannes Georg listed on the above mentioned genealogy. Unfortunately, the Catholic Church records only go back to 1802, so there is no way to verify if Peter was their father. The problem is the spelling of the name as "Flohr" in the Catholic records. In general, Flori and Flohr families had no connection throughout Germany, and one seldom, if ever, finds the names as interchangeable. There could have been a Protestant Peter Flohri and a Catholic Peter Flohr, who lived approximately at the same time. However, since the children born to Peter Flohr fit rather neatly into the time span between Peter Flohri's first marriage to Anna Margaretha Jost and his marriate to Eva Weber, it could very well be that Peter Flohr and Peter Flohri are one in the same person.
Peter's last child, Margaretha, also presents a problem. The genealogy above has this Margaretha listed as the child of the Catholic Eva. But if the two Peters are one, she would have been born when Peter was married to Eva Weber, not the Catholic Eva. However, she was baptized Catholic, an unusual circumstance for one whose mother was apparently Protestant. The Catholic records stop short of her birth year 1751/2.~. 
Note*  On February 19, 1752, Peter Flohri borrowed 150 florin from Wambold magistrate Leonhard Krauss at 5% interest, giving as his surety his house and 1/2 acre along "Thorn Way." Since Peter's brother, Johann, had died the year before, and since Peter, like Johann, was a carriage maker, Peter may have needed the money to purchase the business from his brother's heir(s).

His name appears several times in the Wambolt archives.

On April 8, 1709, he, along with Lenhard Jost and Hans Paul Schab (son of Hans Schab) were fined 1 gulden each for playing hazard games on Easter Monday after havint received communion on Easter Sunday.
