Notes |
The following is a summary and update concerning the Florea line...
..."Much effort has been devoted to the research of Albright Florea's forbearers, but so far they have not been identified. He appeared in Frederick County, Maryland just prior to the first Federal Census of 1790. The earliest record known which refers to Albright is found where he served as a juror on Coroner's inquest (1778 - 1789, Frederick County, Md. In 1790 the first Federal Census of Population was taken. Albright Florea is listed as the head of a family in Frederick County, Md.
His family consisted of:
Males over 16...1
Males under 16...3
Females.........5
...Apart from the head of the family, no other names were provided by this census. It is assumed, based on fact found later, that the family consisted of Albright, his wife, (Ruth), three sons, John, Joshua and Isaac, and four daughters, Elizabeth, Nancy, Rebecca and Mary. Considering the age of the children given in the census, it would suggest that Albright and Ruth began their family circa 1775, having been married a year or so before. With Albright's age estimated in his twenties, he would have been born circa 1750. There were earlier records of land transactions involving a tract called Foxes Chase. in 1796 Albright sold Foxes Chase in three separate parcels. there are some interesting observations in these transactions. It seems clear that Albright was unable to read, write or spell his name. He made his mark on all deeds, relying on the person preparing the deed to spell his name properly. On one deed the seller was identified as Albert Flory and Albert Florey. Officials who prepared the documents were able to read and write, their spelling relied on what they heard, or thought they heard. After selling Foxes Chase Albright took his family to the new state of Kentucky. He appears on the tax list for Mason County in 1796. His name has not been found on any land transfers in Kentucky. By 1810 Albright had moved again, this time to Adams County, Ohio. He appeared on the tax list for 1810 in that area. in 1820 the Federal Census shows him in Tiffin Township, Adams county, Ohio. This is the last official record of him.
...There is a land transaction record in West Union, Adams County, court house dated Oct. 10, 1812 where Albright gives land to his son, Isaac; the property is described as, "The Lands Where The Said Albright Florea Now Lives", so Albright must have owned property even though the deed to this tract isn't (apparently) recorded. Since Albright doesn't appear on the census of 1830, the best guess is that he died circa 1825. Many have searched for his grave, but it has not been located. (Source: Flory, Leslie E and Bill. The Flora-Flory-Fleury Family Newsletter Volume 8 Number 1 (January 1, 1995):.pg. 44)
Albright was residing in BOURBON County, Kentucky in 1804 as Rebecca was married there to Benjamin Franklin GUY (born NJ) by bond recorded there on 10 Nov 1804
...The first ancestor of whom we have a firm record is Albright Flora, (later Florea). Albright is found in the 1790 census, the first federal census in the United States. He was married and listed as head of a family in Frederick County, Maryland. The family consisted of one male over sixteen, three males under sixteen and five females. From this we assume that the family consisted of Albright, his wife, three sons, and four daughters. Two more daughters were born later.
...In 1792, Albright paid about fifty-seven pounds for 286 acres, a tract of land known as Foxes Choice, in Frederick County, Maryland. This tract had been surveyed originally for Albert Flora "who had neglected compounding on the same agreeably to law..." in 1788. The relationship between Albert and Albright is not known. (Land patent acquired by Albright Flora March 26, 1792 as recorded in the Hall of Records, P. O. Box 828, Annapolis, MD 21404. Patents IC#H, pp. 653-654.)
...In 1795, Albright sold this tract of land known as "Foxes Choice" in three parcels: On August 14, 37 acres "more or less" to Jacob Fitzpatrick for 10 pounds; on August 14, 144-1/4 acres "more or less" to Jacob Rohrer for 286 pounds; on October 19, 101-3/4 acres "more or less" to Godfrey Leatherman for 95 pounds. Albright received 391 pounds for the land which had cost him 57 pounds three years earlier - a very handsome profit.
...From Maryland Albright took his family to the new state of Kentucky. Confirmation is found in the listing of Albright on the tax lists of Mason County, Kentucky in 1800. Mason County was formed from a part of Bourbon County in 1788 and the county seat established at Limestone, later named Maysville. No land records of land transfers have been found in Kentucky which involved Albright.
...Albright moved across the Ohio river to the new state of Ohio sometime before 1810, and apparently followed the Zane Trace to North of West Union, not far from the old Treber Inn, and settled on Ohio Brush Creek near the mouth of Lick Fork, not far from Dunkinsville, Adams County. He was still in Kentucky in 1800, not listed in the federal census of Kentucky in 1810, but appears on the 1810 tax list for Adams County, Ohio. In 1820, on the first Federal Census of Ohio, he is listed as living in Tiffin Township of Adams County. Albright and his wife do not appear in the federal census of 1830. We do not have any record of his death or where he is buried.
...Recorded in the Adams County courthouse is what appears to be a combination will and deed dated October 10, 1812 and recorded March 16, 1813, as follows:
...Know all men by these presents that I, Albright Florea, of Adams county and State of Ohio for the good will and affection which I have and do bear toward my loving son Isaac Florea of the county and state aforesaid have given and granted and by these presents do hereby give and grant unto the said Isaac Florea, his heirs or administrators all or singular, the lands where the said Albright Florea now lives, privileges, and commodities to the same belonging together with all and singular my goods and chattles now being in my dwelling house together with all and singular the property belonging unto the said Albright Florea together with all debts, dues and demands of the said Albright Flore. The said Isaac Florea does grant unto the said Albright Florea the privilege of living on the said premises as long as the said Albright Florea and Ruthy Florea, wife of the said Albright, may live, together with the use of the horses whenever the said Albright may have use for them; and after the deth of the aforesaid Albright and Ruth, wife of the said Albright, that the three youngest daughters, Charity, Ruth, and Rachel Florea, daughters of the said Albright Florea and Ruth, wife of the said Albright Florea, may each have an equal share of the household furniture, and likewise the said Isaac Florea is to give and equal fourth part of the stock aforesaid unto each of the aforesaid children. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 10 of October, 1812.
