I do not have the answer you seek, but would like to pass on a couple of things that may help you in your search.

!. Most Pflegings came from Hesse, and there are a lot of them there today.

2. It is quite likely (more likely, perhaps) that the name would have been changed unintentionally during immigration. The more common first name would have Heinrich. The last name spelling would have been as my name (Pfleging) and could easily have been misread or miswritten by either the ship's captain who filled in the ship's manifest or the immigration staff who entered the name on the entry records. There are Pflagings in Indiana who chamged their name once here for simplicity as more people pronounced it that way.

3. Check ALL of the Pfleging hits on the net and you will find a number of us out there looking for ancestry connections. We have traced my family with the help of German national relatives who did a lot of the work for me, and know the line of every one of the male descendant except two from 1641.

4. Be patient and keep good records.

5. Enjoy!
