Abraham was born in Rapho Twp., Lancaster Co., PA, and probably moved to Paxtang Twp. with his father in 1759. He must have married shortly before moving to Paxtang Twp., since his first child was born in 1759. We do not know the name of his wife.

Abraham served in the Revolutionary War from October 1781 to April 1783. He died shortly thereafter, as he is listed as deceased in his father's will, which was written in September 1783. Following the death of their father, Abraham's children changed to spelling of their last name to Flora, indicating that he had died while they were still minors.

Abraham had six children. We have no further information about three of them (James, William and Catherine). The vast majority of Abraham's known descendants are through his youngest son, John (858). For the other two children (Joseph and George), we have identified 145 descendants.

Among Abraham's descendants is his 3Ggranddaughter Zelda Flora Marcinkowski, wife of Flory/Flora historian John Marcinkowski, author of the 1973 supplement and co-author of this site.

This site is organized into "Web Cards" and "Person Sheets"

Each Web Card contains basic information about a person and their spouse, parents and offspring. By clicking on various individuals, you will be taken to their Web Card. In this way, you can scroll through a particular family lineage. The "Home Card" button (above) will take you to the first person in this lineage. If you click on either "parent" in the Web Card, you will be taken to their Person Sheet. The Person sheet contains the same information as the Web Card, but in greater detail, including dates and references. From the Person Sheet, you can return to the Web Card by clicking on the Web Family Card at the bottom.
