Surnames: Fleming, Hays, McCoy Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GW.2ADE/900.1 Message Board Post: I have a very small amount of information on Russell Fleming and his family. I had a relative in Fresno, Russell Fleming Hays (deceased), who was named after him so I gathered what information I could find for the notes section on my relative. Russell was named after a neighbor, Russell Fleming. I have found the following land purchase made by a Russell Fleming (among other Flemings) in Fresno County: MD 0200S 0150E 024 6870 1892/09/15 FLEMING CHARLES F MD 0110S 0210E 026 2682 1895/10/25 FLEMING JAMES N MD 0110S 0210E 026 9367 1891/04/04 FLEMING JAMES N MD 0120S 0220E 030 5286 1875/02/01 FLEMING RUSSELL MD 0150S 0170E 017 1382 1871/03/15 FLEMMING CARL I also find in the 1880 census in Fresno the following: Russell H.
