Roberta, If you go to http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~florey/lazarus.html You will see the single-line family tree from me up through Lazarus Flowrah. If you want more details, let me know. I'll have to dig them out of my files.

I'm doing the Hatteras surnames one by one. By doing, that means I'm using the combined info I have plus the census to reconstruct the various families. I have done the extracts in some books for Flowers and I'm pasting what I have for you. In turn, I'd really appreciate what you have as far as assembled families back to Lazarus. It would be very interesting to find a Flowers male to DNA test from Hatteras and a Florrie male to test who descends from the Jamestown group and see if they match. The entries that follow are every entry with the surname Flowers or similar, not just ones where a Flowers is a primary party in the transction. Whose things they witnesses is often a powerful clue in terms of who they married and were related to one way or another.

My name is Donna Flora O'Malley.? I've been a lurker on this list for many years.? I am very interested in the Lost Colony and Hatteras Island projects.? One of the Lost Colonists was Charles FLORRIE. ( http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ncflora/?) ? There were numerous FLOWER/FLORES/FLOURE/FLURRY in the Jamestown/Tidewater VA area in the 1600's.? There is some speculation that these (and other inhabitants of Jamestown/Tidewater) were descendants of the Lost Colonists looking for their relatives.?These inhabitants most likely ended up in the Currituck County. I have documented roots in Currituck County as early as 1738?through Lazarus FLOWER. I have a weak link in this ancestry in 1850, but I am 90% confident that the link is correct.? ? ( http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~florey/lazarus.html?) I have been trying to connect Lazarus FLOWER to his ancestors for years with no luck.?? If anyone can help me shed some light on this part of my history, I would love the assistance.? I would also love to help where I can with the Lost Colony/Hatteras project.
