Seeking information on John and wife Amanda (Lentz) FLORA who moved to Mauck's Port
(after 1847 Mauckport) Harrison County, Heth Twp., IN from Union County, IN ca 1844,
moving to Haw Creek Twp., Bartholomew County, IN about
1855. John Andrew repotedly attending Hartsville University (4th created west of
mountains).
1850 census has John "United Brethren Minister" where in 1844 Abram FLORA
was listed "Church Trustee". My great grandfather, John Andrew, was born 5 Sept
1845, living next door to Frakes, who moved from Montgomery Co Ky to Indiana, then to
Putman Co., IN.
John & Amanda of Pennslyviana, united about 1832, had six known children:
Josphine b.1833, Volney Pulaski, b.1834, Sarah Catharine, b.1836, Daniel Rice Boon,
b.1838. Margaret Ann, b.1841 (may have been born in Harrison County) moving to Mauck's
Port.
I found on
http://home.att.net/~Local_History/Harrison-Co-IN.htm Abram FLORA in 1844, and William H,
Sr., James K. and Wm. H. Jr. later. Also on
http://harrisoncountygenealg.com found Wm H.
(1841-1918) and Jefferson (1834-1916) & Sarah FLORA (1844-1907)
The Flora family were involved with the Methodist Church, at Mauck's Port, as was
my grandfather Wm. Walter FLORA (1871KS-1922CO) in Colorado Springs, CO.
I'm attempting to consruct a Family Tree, and booklet. Your help would be greatly
appreciated.
