In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Flucks to arrive on North American shores:

Fluck Settlers in United States in the 19th Century- Thomas Fluck, who arrived in St Clair County, Illinois in 1856 1
- Gottlieb Fluck, who landed in St Clair County, III in 1859 1
