You and other Fleenor, Fleener researchers are welcome to join our family research website (it's free), hosted on MyFamily.com to utilize our large database of vintage photos, family trees, and original documents. We have members from all over the country and descendants of all the original siblings belonging to Anna and Johannes Flinner. The Flinner family arrived in Philadelphia aboard the ship "John & Elizabeth" 7 Nov. 1754. They settled first in Bucks Co. where three children were born, then moved to Lancaster Co., PA. They were in Frederick Co., MD. by 1767. Conflicting data suggests both Anna and Johannes died there, but some suggest Johannes (John) survived and moved with the majority of the family to settle in the Holston River area of SW VA near Mendota/Abingdon in Wash. Co. VA. All the sons settled there. They were: Adam, Nicholas, Gaspar/Jacob W., John C. and Michael. Adam and Jacob then removed to TN/KY. Daughters: Elizabetha, Margaretha, and Maria Catharina married in Frederick Co., MD. Elizabetha's family moved to Rockingham Co., VA. The grandchildren of Anna and Johannes spread to several counties in VA., then into TN., KY. and IN. by the early 1800s. My particular branch, Abraham s/o Nicholas, several of his cousins as well as his sister Elizabeth and brother Johannes W. "John" all relocated to the Territory of Indiana and began to establish themselves by 1809. Elizabeth married her cousin Adam and settled in Rush Co. Abraham and John settled in what is now Washington Co., IN. John built a Fort where several families lived during the Indian troubles there that culminated in the Battle of Prophetstown under Gen. (Governor) Harrison. For those interesed in DAR or SAR membership, Michael son of Johannes & Anna is a proven Rev. War soldier, and John Fleenor (Johannes) signed a Patriot Oath in Maryland. The jury is still out as to whether the John is "our" Johannes or may be of another Flinner family that were living in Frederick Co., MD. when our family group first arrived there. Most of the Fleenor men served as militiamen or soldiers during the various Indian battles associated as being a part of the War of 1812 and two of Gaspar's sons (John and William) perished in the defense of Norfolk, VA in 1814. Fleenors served on both sides of the Civil War/War of Northern Aggression (depending on whether they wore blue or gray), and many died. The family continued to spread across the country and many were pioneers in all the frontier lands, leaving distinguished records of achievement. It is a family of whch we can all be proud.
