I was told by my uncle that the Flowers were originally Flour which was changed to Flower and later Flowers. I have a long line of Flowers' from West Virginia and Virginia. My uncle also said that we were sent to America as servants to the English. Can anyone enlighten me historically about the English sending servants over to America? I have a genealogy line with the name Flowers as far back as 1785 (William Flowers) from Lynchburg, VA. It looks like his father, John R. Flowers, born 1817, was also living in Lynchburg, and then his son, Frederick Flowers, born 1843, started the West Virginia line in Cabell County, Huntington. I don't know where the "Flour" name started and where that changed to "Flower". Can anyone help me discover who the first immigrant was?
