Migration of the Flucke family

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Flucke or a variant listed above: John Fleck who purchased land in Philadelphia in 1731. Henry Fleck was appointed Deputy Governor of Pennsylvania in 1753. By the mid-19th century the Fleck family were to be found in New York, South Carolina, and Maryland. Jacob Flecke settled in Philadelphia in 1741.
