Hi, does anyone have any Flemings that ended up in Iowa when they came to the United States ? I have a Arthur Fleming migrated from Ireland to The Province of Quebec, Canada in 1650. His son William moved to the state of Vermont and had a son named,Charles, 1730-1800. Charles had a son named Victor 1755-1845. Victor married a girl named Metcalf and they had five children, Ira Nelson (my great grandfather),Charles, Jerusha, Roxanna and a infant daughter who died. My great grandfather, Ira Nelson Fleming (1830-1895) came to Delaware County, Iowa and settled near Manchester. Ira had three wives, the first to Eleanor Rowe who bore him one daughter, Rose Alice who married a Eugene Draper. Ira's second marriage was to Samantha Tony of Pennsylvania , my great grandmother and they had the following children; Charles Arthur (my grandfather),Eleanor May (Nellie) who married a Jack Priest, Francis Amelia who married a Henry Wilson, and Max Fleming. Ira's third wife was Fanny Dixon and they had two son's, Pearl and Pin.... Charles Arthur Flaming, my grandfather, was born in Delaware County, Iowa in 1861. His family moved to Macon County, Missouri in 1865 and he married my grandmother, Minerva Ford in 1883. At some point, they moved to Waterloo, Iowa and had the following children; Everett, Lonnie, Florence, Francis, Alice, Zelma, Fred and my father, Paul Victor Fleming 1905-1983.

Here is my Fleming/Flemman story: My 7th greatgrandfather was Stephen Fleming/Flemman who was born perhaps in Tyrone, Ireland about 1695 and died in Shrewsbury, Monmouth Co., NJ in 1755. There are a few different stories of the origin of Stephen and his family. Here are three: Version 1) Stephen Fleman, with brothers Thomas, Samuel and John went to NJ from Ireland. Thomas and Samuel settled in NJ somewhere, Stephen settling in Monmouth County, NJ. Version 2) Stephen had brothers Thomas, William, Andrew and Samuel -- all sons of Malcolm, all from Ireland. Version 3) Stephen had brothers Jacob, John and James. They were from Scotland -- Stephen went to NJ another brother went to NY and the third brother went to Kentucky. Does anyone have any information about this family that would help me prove or disprove any of the above theories? I descend from Stephen's daughter Jane/Jeane who married Daniel Havens in Monmouth County, NJ about 1735. Thanks very much for any help you can give. Joe Collins Glendale, CA [email protected]
Genealogical and Personal Memorial of Mercer County, New Jersey. This volume was published in 1907 under the editorial supervision of Francis Bazley Lee. Pages 393. 394, 395 &396 One of the earliest ancestors of whom we have any record was Sir John Le Fleming, a famous crusader. The name owes its origin to a native of Flanders who, during the reign of King David the First, 1124, migrated to Scotland and settled there, taking the name of Le Fleming or Flanderensis, in honor of his native country. Sir Robert Le Fleming, 1272 to 1309, was one of the few trusty friends who assisted in crowning Robert Bruce. His son, Sir Malcolm Fleming, Lord of Fulwood, received a large grant of land and was in high favor with the king. He was also made governor of Dunbarton Castle and sheriff of the county. His son, also Sir Malcolm,succeeded him as governor, and was a supporter of the right and title of David the Second, of the line of Bruce. Dunbarton Castle was entrusted to the custody of the Flemings for many generations. During the time of Queen Mary, Lord James Fleming, at that time the governor, was married to the daughter of Lord Ross, at Holyrood palace, Edinburgh, and the queen was present on that occasion. Sir Thomas Fleming, his son, emigrated to Virginia, as did several other members of the family. One of them was the father of James Fleming, born in Iredell county, North Carolina, in 1762, who served in the Revolutionary war, later removing to Ohio, where he died in 1832. He was the great-grandfather of Hon. Josiah Mitchell Fleming, of Denver, Colorado. Another descendant was Colonel John Fleming, who migrated from Virginia to Kentucky in 1790; he was grandfather of Hon. John Donaldson Fleming, late United States District Attorney of Colorado. Archbishop Richard Fleming was the founder of Lincoln College, Oxford. Major General James Fleming, 1633-1751, spent forty years of his life in the British army and is buried in Westminster Abbey. Archibald Fleming, who went from England to Ireland in 1173 with the Earl of Pembroke, was the ancestor of the Flemings, who became lords of the barony of Slane, county of Meath, Ireland. Sir Thomas Fleming, lord chief justice of England, commenced the profession of law at the same time as Francis Bacon, but was preferred to him by the attorneys and prime ministers of that time and merited and earned the highest professional honors. Margaret Fleming has been immortalized by Sir Walter Scott as "Pet Marjorie." Rev. John Fleming, a Scotch clergyman and naturalist, occupied the chair of natural philosophy at Kings College, Aberdeen, from 1832 to 1843, and was the author of several important works. Bishop Michael Fleming, 1785-1850, was a Roman Catholic Canadian. He founded and erected St. John's Cathedral, became its first bishop, and erected a number of other churches and schools. Among those who were notable in the American history of the family may be mentioned: Captain Fleming, who was killed between Trenton and Princeton, January 2, 1777, during the midnight retreat of Washington from Trenton; Colonel Thomas Fleming, died in August, 1777, of exposure and hardships endured during the Revolution; William Fleming, was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses, and judge delegate to the Continental Congress, 1779-81. The family to be more particularly mentioned hereinafter may very properly be called the "Bethlehem Flemings," as its first members in America settled near the old meeting house in Hunterdon county, New Jersey. (I) Malcolm Fleming, the first of this branch of the Fleming family of whom we have any record, seems to have been a thrifty and industrious man. He was known as a "Yeoman," or man of small estate in lands, and he was also a weaver by trade, which is attested by various articles used in this trade which were left as the portion of his orphans. His farm was well stocked and his village for trading was Cookstown, in the center of Ulster province. He died about 1730, his wife's death having preceded his, and willed his property to James Bigger, as trustee for his children. This trust was later transferred to Rev. John Strong to enable Mr. Bigger to emigrate to America. It is to be presumed that Malcolm Fleming was a godly man and a church member, as his sons brought to America letters from the Presbyterian church. Among his children were: 1. William, see forward. 2. Andrew, of whom little is known. 3. Thomas, of Cookstown, was in Bethlehem township as early as 1755, and removed to Vienna in 1783. 4. Samuel, born April 2, 1707, died February 10, 1790, was the pioneer settler of Flemington, the county seat of Hunterdon county, New Jersey. Recently there was talk of a tablet to be placed on the oldest house in Flemington. This house was built by Samuel Fleming in 1756, and ten years prior to this he was licensed to keep a hotel at Amwell, and again in 1763. He seems to have been unfortunate in his land speculations, and finally became so embarrassed that he was sold out to meet his obligations. His third son, William, was also granted a hotel license in 1756. As Samuel Fleming kept a tavern, the place was called Flemings, and as other houses were erected this became changed to Flemington. He married Esther Mounier, born January 6, 1714, member of a French Huguenot family who left France to escape religious persecution. They had five sons and two daughters, the first child born April 10, 1737, the second, Esther, married Colonel Thomas Lowrey; she was born April 15, 1739, and died October 13, 1814. (II) William Fleming, eldest son of Malcolm Fleming, the weaver, was born near Cookstown, county Tyrone, Ireland, prior to 1730. He probably assisted his father in the labors of the farm, harvested the flax, drove the cows from pasture, etc. He also gathered fagots for fires for cooking purposes in the big stone fireplace in the kitchen, fires being rarely needed for heating purposes in that climate. He attended such school as was kept by the Presbyterian congregation, near the church or possibly in the church manse. He could read and write, and was a deacon in the old Presbyterian church in Cookstown. He and his brothers mentioned above took out church letters and emigrated to America about 1751. Soon after we find them located on their own lands in Hunterdon county, New Jersey, where William spent the remainder of his life and is buried in the old churchyard of the Bethlehem Presbyterian Church. Following is a copy of a receipt given by William Fleming: "April ye 17th 1767. Received of Thomas Fleming the sum of one pound five shillings and four pence, I say for Mr. Haner sallery being in full I say vullued by me. WILLIAM FLEMING.

Roll Call. By chance has anyone researched all the early Flemings in VA/WV?? For instance: I'm researching Isaac Fleming, born abt 1789 in VA, probably one of the western counties. Would like to find Isaac's parents. Have extracted all the Fleming's mention in the l790 Census of Virginia (hoped by process of elimination, I'd find Isaac's parents). Those Flemings listed are: Alex, Fredrick Co; James (3), Hampshire Co; James, Greenbrier Co; Thomas, Fairfax Co; Will, Halifax Co; William, Amelia Co; William, Gloucester Co; William (2), Greenbrier Co; and Flemmings: Beverly(2) Amelia Co; Charles, Middlesex Co; James, Lancaster Co; Mary, Nansemond Co; Samuel, Amelia Co; William (2), Shenandoah Co. Anyone researching Fleming/Flemming's in VA/WV, love to hear from you. Kathy (No. CA)
This is a great idea. However, in all of the posts, I have not seen anything on the FLEMINGS of Red River County, TX. Hope someone can help. I am searching for inf. on Irena Fleming, b. GA who married James William (known as J. Will) Rains/Raines 21 sep. 1969 in Red River Co., Texas. We know she had a sister named Emma who married Sie Warren in same county. J. Will and Irena's daughter was our g grandmother. She was Irena Frances Rains who married Henry George Gunkel in Fannin County, Texas Dec. 1895. Sisters to Irena Rains Gunkel were Birdie, Mattie, Lucinda and Mae Bell. Family records state that J. Will Rains is buried in Atoka County, Ok. Haven't been able to find proof. There were several other Fleming families in Red River County. Have not found a connection to ours. They lived near each other. I have a marriage license copy of marriage between Mordicai H. Fleming and Lucinda Trimble Jan. 28, 1857. On the 1880 census RR County is : Fam 234/341 M. H. Fleming m age 50 b. NC R.O. F age 17 dau. b. TX O.A. F age 14, dau. b. TX P. F age 11, dau. b. TX J.

BARON XIII Sir James Fleming (1440) a knight, the 13th Baron of Slane, and a Peer of Parliament during the reign of King Edward IV, married Elizabeth Wells. By an act of parliament he was also made sheriff of Meath county for one year. He died 1491. During his term, the Irish were busy trying to make their Home Rule work and the British were content to let them alone. Life in the castle of Slane was like living in a prison until the neighbors became acquainted with the Baron and his family. His son inherited the Barony. BARON XIV Sir Christopher Fleming (1473) 14th Baron of Slane married Lady Elizabeth FitzGerald, the daughter of the Earl of Kildare. He was 18 years old at his father's death. An inquisition brought out the incident that Christopher founded a cell for Frairs to pray for the souls of himself and family. the cell was a chapel in the cemetery of the Hill of Slane. It was necessary for Christopher to get along with the Catholics of Ireland. A picture of the cell is included herewith. A plaque on the building reads as follows: "Founded by Franciscans on the site of early Celtic monastery in 1512. Dissolved in 1540 and granted to James Fleming (XV) whose desendants (Patrick) in 1631 attempted to reinstall a community of Capuchin Friars here but was expelled by Cromwell." Christopher was appointed by King Henry VIII in 1512 as Lord High Treasurer of Ireland. He was first summoned to parliament in 1506 by King Henry VII. He died 18 Sep 1520 leaving his only son James as heir. BARON XV James Fleming (1511) became the 15th Baron of Slane. He was age 9 years at this fathers death in 1519. By patent, dated 30 Sep 1540, King Henry VIII made him Lord Justice of Ireland. He sat in the famous Parliament held the following year in which King Henry VIII was made KING OF IRELAND. This Lord James Fleming was twice married. first to Lady Alice FitzGerald, daughter of Gerald, Earl of Kildate and second to Elizabeth the daughter of Christopher Plunkett, Lord Kileen. He died 1577 when the peerage created by the summons of his grandfather Sir James Fleming, became in abeyance between his two sisters, Catherine and Elinor, among those heirs it still remains (1829). The estate was settled in 1568. The Barony went to his heirs as indicated on the chart. James apparently disinherited his own son and his heirs in favor of his cousin. The peerage report does not mention anyone not officially considered an heir. It reported James death in 1577, but it did not say "without issue". In a biography of Patrick Fleming, a Fransiscan Friar, it claims Patrick's father, Gerald, was a great grandson of Christopher, the 14th Baron of Slane. Since he was a friar of the Catholics, and since there was much terrible bitterness between Catholics and Protestants, James disinherited his son, Patrick. James' nephew, Thomas inherited the barony. "Patrick 1599-1631, a Franciscan Friar, born 17 April 1599, at Bel-Atha-Lagain, county of Louth, Ireland. His father, Gerald was a great granson of Christopher the 14th Baron of Slane, and treasurer of Ireland. His mother was Elizabeth Cusck of Cushingtown. At age, he was sent by is parents to Flanders and placed under the care of his uncle Christopher Cussack. He was a noted Catholic lecturer and was killed by peasants in Bohemia, 17 Nov 1641 near Beneschau. He was buried at the Monastery near there." This was copied from the Oxford Encyclopedia. BARON XVI Thomas Fleming (1540) the 16th Baron of Slane. He was summoned to the Parliament of Queen Elizabeth in 1585. Lord Thomas Fleming died 9 Nov 1597. He died without issue, thus four creations by whit, successively, became in abeyance among co-heirs. His third cousin, William was decreed the inheritor. BARON XVII William Fleming (1570) the 17th Baron of Slane of Derpatrick succeeded his cousin in the manor or Barony of Slane of which he had livery 1605. He never sat in Parliament. He married Elinor Fleming the daughter of Thomas Fleming the 15th Baron of Slane, by whom he had three sons, first Christopher his heir, second George Fleming of Stephenstown, and third James Fleming of Staholrnock and Derpatrick. He died 1612 and was succeeded by his eldest son, Christopher. Again, a son was apparently disinherited and disowned because he was a Catholic. As recorded in the oxford Encyclopedia: Thomas 1593-1666 Archbishop of Dublin, third son of William, 17th Baron of Slane, by his cousin, Elinor, younger daughter of Thomas 16th Baron of Slane, was born 1592. He became a friar and was professor of theology at Louvain. He was a leader in most political and religious controversies in Ireland during the years 1623-1666. There is a discrepancy between the oxford biography and the peerage office on the number of Barons of Slane. The Oxford biography says Thomas was the 15th Baron and William was the 16th Baron. The peerge report says Thomas was the 16th Baron and William was the 17th Baron. That discripancy was probably caused by the Catholics disagreeing with who was a Baron. BARON XVIII Christopher Fleming (1595) became the 18th Baron of Slane. He was the eldest son of William. He had livery of his estate 24 Nov 1613. He was summoned to parliament by King James I. he therby acquited a peerage descendible to his heris general. Lord Christopher married Elinor daughter of sir Patrick Barnwall of Turvey by whom he had six sons. Thomas his heir, William, John, Patirck, James and Lawrence. The last four died without issue. His 2nd son William, inherited the Barony. Thomas Fleming Sir Thomas Fleming (1617) heir to the Barony of Slane at the death of his father Christopher 29 June 1625, renounced the title. Being a friar in the Order of St. Francis, Thomas renounced his rights to his next brother William, AND, being excluded from the estates by his father's settlement, he petitioned the King in 1629 that his brother William might enjoy the dignity of Baron of Slane, so the estate went to William and his heirs male of his body. Thomas Fleming resided in his convent in the Nertherlands until the year 1642, when he returned to Ireland at the Pope's request, during the Irish-Catholic revolt against the Protestant-English government. He proceeded to Kilkenny, where "he attended to the public good, resorting from time to time to the house of his brother-in-law, the Viscount of Clanmorris; but at last finding that things did not prosper at Kilkenny, he went to county Louth, and made up six or severn well-armed men and by witty and find stratagems, took twelve garrisons in that country. He spared no labor night or day in that province. Either in their sleep, march or otherwise, where or when the enemy least expected, this religious warrior did come upon them, to their mighty prejudice, either taking by assault, or demolishing by fire, their garrisons, at the loss of their proper lives. There were many other Friars doing the same thing by order of the Pope and it is estimated there were 10,000 Protestans killed between 1642-1649. BARON XIX William Fleming (1619) 19th Baron of Slane, married Lady Anne MacDonnell the daughter of Randall, Earl of Antrum, the widow of Lord Delvin by whom she had four sons: Charles, Randall, Michael and Thomas. His elder son, Charles inherited the Barony when he was about one year old. Baron Willliam died in battle in oct 1641, when the Old English Asistocrats joined the Catholics in a siege of Drogheda to drive out King Charles I from Ireland. His own brother, Thomas did much of the killing. The following years, 1642. King Charles II, had to go into exile for two years because they were Protestants. Baron William was killed in the battle of Julianstown Bridge, near Drogheda, Ireland. BARON XX Charles Fleming (1645) 20th Baron of Slane, did not marry. He was expected from pardon for life and estate by Cromwell's Act for the settlement of Ireland in 1652. He with his step-brother, Lord Westmeath, maintained the royal cause to the last moment in Ireland; and, subsequently, with 10,000 troops, entered the service of Louis IV of France, in which he lost his life in Italy in 1661. He died un-married and was succeeded by his next brother, Randall. BARON XXI Randall Fleming (1636) 21st Baron of Slane, succeeded his brother after the Restoration of King Charles II. The Roll of Innocent Papists recite "that Charles Lord Slane, brother of Randall, now of Slane, was dead and that Randall had been disposed of the estates of their father, William, Lord Slane, by the usurping powers declares them innocent and orders Randall to be restorted to his estate. The "Usurping Powers" were the Catholic Friars and Gaelic Irish killing the Protestant English rulers of the country. While Randall was Baron of Slane, in 1649, King Charles II sent Cromwell to Ireland with 20,000 disciplined and armed troops. They landed in Dublin and marched north into Slane where they killed 3,500 men and women, the leaders of the Catholic rebellion. Randall was murdered 22 Oct 1676. He did all he could to avoid the trouble between the Catholics and English rulers. The tension was great, it isn't known by me which side murdered him. His eldest son, Christopher (by his 2nd wife) inherited the Barony. BARON XXII (The last Fleming Baron) Christopher Fleming 91669) 22nd Baron of Slane, was 7 years old when his father, Randall was murdered. He as born 1669. He married in 1684 to Elenor Trant, daughter of Sir Patrick Trant Paris by whom he had only one daughter Ellen. Ellen died un-married in Paris in 1748. The House of Lords gave him the title of "Lord of Slane". He sat in the "Pretended Parliament" of James II, in 1689, and took an active part in support of that monarch. Christopher was the last Baron of Slane. He lost the Barony for the family as a result of the following events. KING JAMES II King James II fell heir to the Throne in 1685, and he also fell heir to the Catholic-Protestant War. His greatest weakness was that he tried to please everybody and consiquently pleased nobody. He was described as a cheerful, pleasant, nice looking young Catholic. He established a Parliament in Ireland called "Patriotic Parliament" but the same parliament is called "Pretended Parliament" by the English peerage office. James wanted to include Catholics in the Parliament but the Lords of Scotland and England voted against it. James then began releasing all Protestant officers from the rmy and appointing Catholics to take their place. This resulted in creating a tension between Protestants and Catholics. A century before, thousands of Protestants were massacred in France and the Irish Protestants knew it would also happen to them. When the tension was at its height, an anonymous letter was found on the street in Derry, warning all Protestants that all men, women and children would be murdered by the Catholics, 9 Dec 1688, just one week away. That letter scared everybody. At this same time King James landed an army near Derry. It was a routine relief army to relieve certain garrisons. The people of Derry thought it was the Catholic army coming to massacre them. While the officers were visiting the Governor to get permission to pass through the town, thirteen men suddenly decided to stop the massacre before it started and they blocked the gate with swords and raised the drawbridge when the King's army was only sixty feet from the bridge. That was quiet a shock to the King's troops as they stood there wondering what to do next. One young protestant, looking over the city wall said in a loud voice, "put that great gun right here". The King's army immediately scatterd and retreated back up the road. No amount of explaining could get those men to open the gates. That was the begining of the seven-month siege of Derry. During that seige King James II age 56 was deposed and King William age 38 was elected by Parliament in 1689. Since King James had no friends except those in Ireland, he landed in Kinsale, 12 March 1689, and visited all the Barons in Ireland to raise an army to defeat King Williams' army. The Barrons were caught between the Gaelic Catholics and the English army. The Catholics backed James because they thought he would give them land. King William sent reinforcements to Derry which was under the command of Governor lundy, a trusted "friend" of the king. Governor Lundy turned out to be a traitor and it was not until the people of Derry discovered it that the siege was finally broken. King James then began a retreat which ended at the battle of Boyne." There is more, but not about our Flemings...it is about the battle of Boyne..etc Hope this has helped some of you out..and the ones that asked for it find it here.

I have a booklet with the Barons of Slane...I guess it could be called in the roll call for FLEMING..I posted this a long time ago, I am sure there are newbies on the site and perhaps will be interested in them. In the back of the book there is a chart covering a period of 900 years in the same family. The leading mumber of each generation had a title of "Baron of Slane" Each Baron has a note describing in more detail all I could learn about him. These notes are numbered to correspond to the number of Baron. Since the family had so much to do the the history of Ireland, reading the notes consecutively is something like reading the history of Ireland, therefore to put the family in its proper time, I am begining with a review of Irish History" (I won't copy the Irish History) ...The county court house provides police protection for the people and the people pay taxes to the County Court House. The year, 1176 Richard Fleming was a bury man, thus he became the first palatinate Baron of Slane, and one of the magnates of the lordship of palatinate of Meath. He had 4 sons, Richard, William, Henry and Lawrence." BARON II Richard (1162) the eldest son of Richard, became the heir to his father and was the 2nd palatinate Baron, or Lord of the manor or barony of Slane, and was also Lord of Bratton, Alverdescent and Crediho in Devonshire. His son and heir was: BARON III Stephen le Fleming 91196) became the 3rd palatinate Baron of Slane and Newcastle, as appears by the Plea Roll of King Edward II. He was called Provost to Baldwin which means he was in charge of Baldwin during Baldwins minor years. He rebuilt the wooden castle with stone. His 3 sons were: Baldwin the heir, Richard and Peter. BARON IV Baldwin (1230) became the 4th palatinate Baron, or Lord of the manor, or barony of Slane. Little more appears on his record than his existence. He was succeeded by his son: BARON V Richard Le Fleming (1264) 5th palatinate Baron of Slane. He made a charter of his lands in 1310. I presume that is when he made a will. He married Mary Martin the daughter of Nicholas martin of Darlington, by whom he had a son Baldwin. He was in the Irish Parliament 1297. His heir was: BARON VI Baldwyn (1298) 6th Baron of Slane, married matilda Geneville, one of five daughters of Simon geneville, Lord of Culmullen in county Meath. By this marriage Baldwyn became connected with the noble and powerful family of Mortimer, Earl of March. Rogert Mortimer, Earl of March married Joan the only daughter of Peter Geneville, Lord of Trim. This resulted in uniting the 2 great palatinates of Ulster and Trim, which eventually became part of the crown of King Edward the IV. Baldwyn had acquired greater influence and importance than any preseding Baron of Slane. This was in the years 1317 and 1322. The Barons of Ireland summoned in 1295 consisted of only 29 individuals, while those summoned in 1309 to the Parliament in Kilkenny by King Edward II, were 87..an increase or addition of 58 in 14 years. That was done for the following reason. "King Edward III, being greatly bearded and crossed by the Lords of Clergy, they being there, by reason of the Lords, Abbots and others. Too many and too strong for him so that he could not, for their forwardness, order and reform things as he desired, WAS ADVISED TO DIRECT OUT HIS WRITS TO CERTAINE GENTLEMEN THE BEST ABILITY AND TRUST, entitling them Barons, in the Parliament, by which means he had so many Barons in his Parliament as were able to weigh down the clergy and their friends." Among these gentlemen of THE BEST ABILITY AND TRUST in 1309 was Baldwyn le Fleming, palatinate Baron of Slane, who was summoned to the celebrated Parliament held at Kilkenny by King Edward II. It should be noted the writ was directed to Baldwin Fleming and not Baron of Slane, therefore his partiamentary title made some difference. Sir John Wogan was Lord Justice of Ireland at that time. His granddaugher later married the great grandson of Baldwyn. Lord Baldwyn Fleming died 1335, leaving his son as heir: BARON VII Sir Somon Fleming (1330) a knight, became the 7th Baron of Slane, and the 7th Lord of Parliament of this family. Being a minor on the death of his father, he obtained his properties in 1347. He sat in Parliament in the reign of Edward III. He married Cecelia Champeron of Modbury, daughter of Thomas Champeron. He died in october 1370, and was succeeded by his eldest son. During his life, two-thirds of the population of Drogheda died of the black death plague, 1348-49. His son and heir was: BARON VIII Thomas (1358) a knight, became third Lord Fleming, Palatinate Baron of Slane. He sat in Parliament during the reign of King Richard II, being of age in 1378. He married Elizabeth Preston, daughter of Sir Robert Preston, Lord of Gormanstown by whom he had among other children, Christopher his heir and William. He died 1434 during the reign of King Henry VI; In 1407 Thomas had a pardon of intrusion into his estates without livery. That "intrusion into his estates with livery" refers to the Irish claiming English lands. The Irish were trying to establish an Irish kingdom patterned after the Kingdom of England. King Richard II, divided Irishmen into three groups: "the Wild Irish" (the enemy), the "English Rebels" and the "Obedient English". The King landed with an army in Waterford on 2 Oct 1394, and marched northward to Dublin, bolstering all his English Baronies. He also promised to pardon the English rebels of the Bronies if they would give him more allegiance. Our Baron Thomas Fleming was one of the English Barons who accepted that pardon in 1407. his son and heir was: BARON IX Sir Christopher Fleming (1400) a knight, 4th Lord Fleming, 9th Baron of Slane and 4th Peer of Parliament, did homage for his estate to King Henry VI, in 1436. King Richard's campaign in Ireland was temporary and rather unsuccessful for many years, so Sir Christopher had a rather quiet life. He married first to Levia Farrars by whom he had one son, John and married second to Elizabeth Wogan by whom he had one son David. Christopher's eldest son John died before his father, therefore the Barony went to John's eldest son Christopher. BARON X Christopher Fleming (1444), 5th Lord Fleming, 10th Baron of Slane and 5th Peer of parliament, was the grandson of Sir Christopher the 9th Baron of Slane. He was the only son of John the only son of Christopher by his first wife Levita Farrars. John died 1445 before his father who died 30 November 1448. Christopher died without issue in 1451,leaving his two sisters as co-heirs to the Barony. An inheritance of a title or barony, is not like an ordinary inheritance of property. Each case has to be voted on in Parliament. In other words, each is a separate law. They consider the exact wording used in past genetations to make sure the law is upheld and they write a new law pertaining to the one case of inheritance under consideration. The King can accept or reject or change the law as passed by Parliament. On Christopher's death, they gave the Barony to his uncle David because the estate was in abeyance between his two sisters as co-heirs. BARON IX David Fleming (1425) 11th palatinate Baron of Slane, was summoned to Parliament by King Edward IV in 1463, with the title of Lord David Fleming, Baron of Slane. He died about a year later, 1463, leaving an only son, Thomas and three daughters, Anne, Margaret and Elizabeth as co-heirs. BARON XII Thomas Fleming (1456) 12th palatinate Baron of Slane, and 2nd Lord Fleming, died without issue, 8 Dec 1471. The estate again went into abeyance on account of no male heir. Three Barons of Slane, Christopher, David and Thomas all died rather close together, and all three were comparatively young. They died in 1458, 1463 and 1471. I wonder how they died. At least one of them was waylaid and murdered on that beautiful road along the river. During those years the Irish Parliament was exercising its new power over the old English Aristocracy. There were innumerable fights and bloodshed. The Irish Parliament met in Drogheda, only nine miles from the Fleming manor near Slane. The English Barons of that day had to walk a tight rope between being attainted of high treason and be headed by the constable sent over by the king, or of being banished and murdered by the Irish Patriots. Also during this time, King Henry VI went into exile for nine years for his own safety. The Barony was given to the first cousin of Thomas. to be continued..........
