[7743] David Fletcher of Richmond, VA offered via email in July, 2003: "Maude Fletcher was a daughter of Henry Clay Fletcher and Judith Means Fletcher, both of Bedford Co., PA. Maude, along with her younger sister Ada, and brother Homer, were the three children of Henry Clay and Judith that survived. Older siblings Isabelle and Leonard had died as infants in Everett, PA, where the family lived prior to relocating to Brownsville. The Fletcher line I know quite well (German origins, believe it or not; anglicized in the mid-1700s); the Means line I have a little less on. The Fletcher family's original spelling was "Floesser," and hailed from the mountains near Heidelberg. As an unexpected sidelight, immigrant Jacob Floesser's wife was Anna Margaretha Reichardt, not too dissimilar to the Rickard predecessors, I should think. I was in Heidelberg last Spring, and the Floesser family persists even today...not plentiful, but they're still there."
