Josephites

Josephites (Jesenic: Jósifiyter) are the modern-day descendants of Hr. Joseph Flowers, the last truly Jesenic person prior to the Jesenic revivals of the 21st century. Living Josephites number at approximately 5 to 15, based on current guesses. These people are not Jesenic language speakers, and are only found through the lineage of his daughter Bessie rather than his son, Hr. Charles Flowers (due to his not having children).

Background and lineage
Joseph Flowers, who lived from 1850 to 1904, was the last speaker of the Jesenic English dialect and considered to be the last major pre-21st century Jesenic forefather. He was responsible for the attempted preservation of his dialect and is held as a hero to this day for his efforts. He had two children, Charles and Bessie.

Charles Flowers, son of Joseph, was born on December 23, 1877. Bessie Flowers, daughter of Joseph, was born on December 17, 1879. Charles did not have children from what is known, so current belief would rule out the possibility of any Josephite carrying on the Flowers family name. Bessie married Homer Holden Rhymes (b. April 13, 1879) and thus her last name also became Rhymes. They had two children, Emmy Lou Rhymes (b. 1905) and Homer Holden Rhymes, Jr. (b. April 22, 1908); Homer did not have any known children. Emmy married Joe Mast Clarke (b. November 20, 1902) and had one known child, Holden Mast Clarke, on September 28, 1928. Thus, this is the extent of currently-known information.
