He is an immigrant ancestor who arrived in America in 1754. The route of immigration was down the Rhine River to Amsterdam.

Rupp's 30th Immigrant Records, and record from the Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church or Saint Peters Church. Ship records dated November 7, 1754 the Ship John and Elizabeth, Captain Ham from Amsterdam, last from Portsmouth with inhabitants from Hanau, Wuerttemberg, and Palatinate Germany left with 11 Roman Catholics and 120 Protestants a total of 330 Passengers.

The Flinner name comes from German or French the German town of Heilbrann was formerly known as Flein this same area changed hands many times.

Johannes (also known as John) was in Frederick County, Maryland by 1767 after spending time in Bucks and Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania. There, the family belonged to the Saint Peter's Rocky Hill Lutheran Parish in Woodsboro. Most family records from this time are to be found there, now called Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church. The last date, which mentions the couple is a communicant list of 29 Sep 1789, on which they are both, listed. This was about the year of their 50th wedding anniversary, and this may possibly have been the occasion.

Almost all of the children continued on to Washington County, Virginia -- Caspar being the first in 1769, Adam and Nicholas next in 1773, followed by John, Jacob and Michael in 1774. Daughters Elizabetha, Martha Bessie, and Maria Catharina all went to Virginia as well; only Margaretha remained behind in Maryland with her husband.

Starting the FLEENOR family lines there, some of their descendants went on to Ohio and the Indiana Territory, where, when it opened to white settlers, could be had for $1.25 an acre, payable over four years, and from there to Iowa, Missouri, and the West.

The FLEENOR branches of the family are now found in every state in the country, and are far more prolific than the FLENER line... Adam, the eldest, and Jacob, went further on to Tennessee in about 1788, and when Adam died in 1793, his children went on to Kentucky and Indiana to form the FLENER and FLEENER lines.

"John Fleener" is listed in the DAR database with spouse Anna; Birth - circa 1720 in Germany; Death - post 9-24-1789; Service Description - Signed Oath of Fidelity and Support, 1778.

GEDCOM Note

In Issac Spahr's work in 1971 he states that he had found information in some old papers of Rubye Fleenor Kelly after her death. "The ancestors of the present Fleenor families in America came to this country in 1742 from Rhineland, Palatinate, Germany. They landed at Baltimore, Maryland, and made settlement at Frederick and Hagerstown, with many other German immigrants." Ike went on to mention that the name was originally spelled in Maryland as Pfleunger and Pfleuger.

The Fleenors came originally from the Palatinate region of Germany. They lived in Bucks Co, Pa, then Frederick Co, MD, finally on North Fork of the Holston River in Washington Co, VA.
