    3. I'm sure this is repetitious, but my hard drive crashed last month and I have no saved emails to refer to and all my internet links are gone too. I can't find what I am looking for in the archives, so I am asking again. I am looking for the grave of Samuel Fleming, Rev. War soldier, b. 1760 Ireland, d. 22 Feb 1844 and 'was buried by the side of his first wife in the family graveyard at Kingston' according to the Wetumpka Argus of 6 Mar 1844. And his son John Fleming, b. circa 1794 GA, d. bt. 1850 and 1855 at 'Independence in Autauga Co.' I am coming to Alabama, finally, the first week in March and intend to try to find these graves. I don't have much time to search out where the family homestead in Kingston might be before coming, but if someone could answer a couple of questions, my search might be more hopeful. First, does anyone know where Samuel Fleming or his son are buried? <g> Second, how big is Kingston, or was it in 1844? Is there a map of any sort of Kingston in 1844 that might have the names of the people living on different parts? Is Kingston still a thriving metropolis, or is it now a historical spot? Would I find old land records in the Prattville courthouse or in the library? Also, is Independence still thriving, or is it a historical spot? Does anyone have a list of the cemeteries in/near Independence? Probably Baptist. And is there a map of Independence around 1850 showing the people living there? I'm going to the Autauga pages now to try to answer some of the more obvious questions, but I will appreciate any help I can get, and I again apologize for being repetitious. Thanks, Alice Campbell I do have a printout of how to get to Kingston Cemetery, but I have found out this is not where he is buried.
