Let me know any questions you have about the Fletcher families on the 1850
Allegany Co. MD census shown on page 187B. The Philip Fletcher you see listed
was the eldest brother of my 3rd gr-grandfather. I have quite a bit a data
about Philip and the other Flintstone District Fletcher families of this era.
Philip Fletcher was named for his gr-grandfather Johann Philip Floesser of
Heiligkreuzsteinach, Bad-Wuert., Germany. His son Johann Jacob Floesser
emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1732, and it was Jacob's son Jacob Floesser/Fletcher who
was Philip's father. The balance of this Fletcher group ended up just north
of Allegany Co. in Bedford Co., PA.
I was in Heiligkreuzsteinach in the Spring of 2002, and saw the house where
Philip's namesake lived in the early 1700s.
