MAGDALENA FLORY (1757 - )
& her husband Conrad Springer ( - )

Magdalena was the daughter of John Flory & Anna Marie Dankers,
and granddaughter of Joseph the immigrant

Introduction

Conrad Springer, Magdalena's husband, purchased the land her sisters inherited from their father. Magdalena and Conrad lived in Rapho township and appear in the 1790 and 1800 censuses. According to the census records, they probably had six children, three sons and three daughters. They were the only Springer family in Rapho township during this time period, although there were other Springers in other townships.

In the 1810 census, Conrad Springer is now living in Northumberland Co., and flanking him on the census records are John and Joseph Springer. At the same time, a Jacob Springer appears in Rapho township. It is possible that John, Joseph and Jacob are sons of Conrad and Magdalena, although there are other Springer families scattered throughout Pennsylvania. Neither Conrad nor Magdalena are found in the 1820 census, suggesting that at least Conrad had died by 1820. In 1820, Magdalena would have been in her early 60s and judging from the census entries, Conrad would have been a few years younger.
