Notes

...Thomas was born in Maryland about 1736 according to a deposition he gave in 1805 concerning land of Samuel Osman which Thomas helped survey in 1771.
...In 1761, Thomas entered a survey for fifty acres of land known as "Flora's Choice" in Frederick County, Maryland on the banks of the Potomac River. Thomas and Prudence appear in an earlier Allegany County deposition in 1790 concerning the estate of John Pursley.
...In 1791, Thomas Flora of Hampshire County, Virginia sold 40 acres of land known as "Better Than Mount Misery" in Allegany County, Maryland to Ignatius Brown. Thomas appears in Frederick County, Maryland land rents from 1766 to 1773 for two tracts known as Flora's Choice and Better than Mount Misery. Flora's Choice is now in Washington County, Maryland at the point where Sideling Hill Creek joins the Potomac River.
...Thomas appears in Hampshire County land records from 1782 to 1811. He first appears in 1782 with 110 acres of land on Sideling Hill near the Potomac river. He added a 39-1/2 acre tract in 1797 and 91 more acres by warrent issued 8 May 1783 and surveyed in 1797 on the waters of the Potomac, recorded 1 Nov. 1800. the 1782 census for Hampshire County lists 13 white souls. In the 1784 listing there are 10 white souls listed with Thomas.
...1810 census Hampshire County, Virginia - Thomas Flora. Males: 0-10, 3; 10-16, 1; 26-45, 1, over 45, 1; Females: 0-10, 2; 10-16, 1; 16-26, 1; 26-45, 1; over 45, 1. Thomas probably died about 1811 as Prudence appears on the Hampshire County tax rolls in his place that year. She continued to appear on the tax rolls of Morgan County which was cut from Hampshire, until 1840 when her son Archibald appeared in her place. The land is now in the Paw Paw district. The present town of Paw Paw, West Virginia was once know as Flora's Mills and is located in Moran County near the Hampshire County line.
...Prudence probably died in 1838 or 1839 in Morgan County, Virginia The 1830 census of Morgan County for Absalom Flora lists a female age 80-90, who may be Prudence. The family had a saw mill located at Flora's Falls. (Source: compiled by Donald H. Strong, "Southeastern Ohio Genealogies", (Preston, ID: D.H. Strong, 1992)
...Grantee-Grantor Index: Thomas Flora purchased land in 1795 and 1800. (Reference: Walter W. Bunderman, Flory, Flora, Fleury: ( Lebanon County Flory Reunion Organization, 1948).
