In fact, rather than replying to him, you should have been replying to the list, because there are more than one researcher on this line. Boaz is not my line. I had some data I threw in on the first two generations of the Monongalia Boaz Flemings. I have no data on the PA or NC Flemings. Actually, I do have some information on one NC Fleming family, the John Fleming, gunner's mate in the Revolution, moved to NC before recieving his bounty land. He is one of the Campbell Co., VA Flemings, and his marriage and will are what place him there. Again, this is because he is a John Fleming in the Revolution in VA. I had to determine whether he was my John Fleming or not, and as mine didn't go to NC, clearly he was not. This also meant his marriage in Campbell Co. was not my guy's marriage. As to the URL, looking back to the letter you're replying to, you omitted the member's name between .com/ and /Fleming. Bill [email protected]

Lynn King (and others) Do you know of any connections to the Flemings of Mitchelstown, County Cork? I am descended from those Flemings. My ancestor, Michael Fleming, was born September 17, 1823, in Mitchelstown, Co. Cork, Ireland, the son of John and Margaret Fleming. He died February 3, 1904, in Burlington, Des Moines Co., Iowa. He married Bridget Maher (b. December 1, 1824 near Kilkenny, Ireland, died April 14, 1901 in Burlington, IA) in 1850 (I don't have the exact date) in New Orleans, LA. Michael came to St. Johns, New Brunswick at age 17, arriving Jan. 1, 1840, then came to Boston, MA in 1842, left October 4, 1843, arrived in New Orleans on Oct 29, 1843. He lived in New Orleans and Donaldsonville (Ascension Parish). He and his family came to Burlington IA in 1858, at about age 35, where he became a prominent citizen. Michael and Bridget had 9 children. As near as I can tell from sources, they were (in order) Margaret, Edmund K., John Joseph (b. Mar 18 1851 in Donaldsonville LA, d. Dec. 29, 1928 in Burlington IA), Daniel (b. abt. 1853 in Louisiana, d. abt 1900 in New Orleans), Mary C. (b. 1855, d. 1930), Elizabeth (b. Jan 1, 1856 in Burlington IA, d. Mar 22, 1904 in Chicago IL), Johanna (b. 1859 in Burlington IA, d. May 5, 1932), Agnes (b. January 1, 1863 in Burlington IA, d. Nov 22, 1936 in Dubuque, IA) William P. (b. Oct 18, 1867 in Burlington IA, d. January 17, 1952, in Burlington IA). I have a few more details if you need them. Some of your information fits very closely with what I have, but I have nothing that actually makes a connection. Your Francis' 1844 arrival is very close to my Michael's arrival in New Orleans. Do you have any other history on Francis prior to coming to New Orleans? My Flemings were very devout Roman Catholics -- and some still are. The unmarried Fleming women in several generations , including Elizabeth and Agnes, both mentioned above), became Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (generally called BVM's for short). Their motherhouse is in Dubuque, Iowa -- I mention this because there are several different orders of Sisters of Charity. Elizabeth Fleming became Sr. Mary Etienne Eliza, BVM, and was a Mother Superior in a number of locales. (Note: BVM's were generally Sister Mary _________ -- i.e., their religious names ALL began with Mary followed by one or more other names. Agnes became Sr. Mary Julitta, BVM.) Michael Fleming (and his son John Joseph) were active in the Knights of Columbus -- Michael was one of the founders of the Burlington, IA, chapter of KofC, and was its first Grand Knight. His son John Joseph was also a Grand Knight in Burlington. As far as I know, I have no Murrays in the family tree. I am descended through Michael Fleming, John Joseph Fleming, Philip Bracken Fleming (my grandfather), and Carson Fleming. I have a lot of information them, but not so much on the rest of Michael's children, or on his siblings. If anyone can help fill in the gaps, please feel free to contact me. I am copying this to the Fleming-L and to the Ascension Parish lists in the hopes that it may be helpful to others. -- Phil Fleming [email protected] Researching Barclay (NY area), Bracken (PA, Braden (PA/OH), Carson (Scotland/Canada/WI/IA), Coles (New England/NY area), Cook (New England/MA/OH/IA), Edmonds (RI/New England/NY), Fleming Ireland/Canada/MA/LA/IA), and Ulman (NY area)

Hi Lynn: I haven't searched the church records and would love to find out where Catherine Flemine and Michael/Charles or whatever he was called were married. If it was here then I can go further back if not I stuck. thanks, and as long as I have this isp which is a freenet I'll never change my email addy unless they do. till next time, Lynn On Mon, 7 Sep 1998, Lynn & Bill King wrote: > Lynn - > No, we haven't communicated previously, although I've seen your name on some > queries.

Is anyone looking at William Fleming, Sheriff of Hanover (Later Goochland) VA? he died (will) 4 Oct 1744, had children: Temperance m Benjamin Bibb MARTHA m Robert Pollard Eleanor m Henry Bibb Robert m Isabel___ I am trying to find proof that he is son of John and Mary/Mercy Fleming... I know several theories of his parentage exist... Have the material from "Thomasson Traces"... Regina Roper

Lynn - No, we haven't communicated previously, although I've seen your name on some queries. I just found this Fleming list a couple of weeks ago, and have been doing family research for only two years. There are no Murrays in my family tree, AS FAR AS I KNOW. My Francis James Fleming entered the U.S. in 1844 and married Catherine Murphy in 1853. Have no background on his family in Ireland (possibly County Cork). If his descendants are any indication of proliferation, there were probably lots of his family left in Ireland and it's very likely that many siblings also came to U.S. If you haven't yet seen the publications of the Archdiocese of New Orleans (baptisms, marriages, etc), I'll look for Michael (Charles Michael, Michel) Murray and Catherine Flemings' marriage date the next time I go to the genealogy library. I'll keep your message, however, and if I run across anyone you've mentioned, I'll let you know. Lynn King Houston

Hi Lynn and Bill I have one Fleming/Flemming in Louisiana. I don't know if we corresponded before. But all I have is on Fleming in my family. My great great grandmother: Catherine Fleming. The family story says she comes from County Cork, Ireland. I have her born circa 1861. She married Michel (or Michael or possibly Charles Michael Murray) also of county Cork. She married circa 1880 probably in New Orleans, La. Do you have any Murray's on your family tree? Could my Catherine be your Catherine? Let me know, thanks, Lynn

I'm just sending data in my files in response to queries. There were several messages about Boaz and this is what I had in my files. I have the data because there were so many Flemings so close in space and time named John that tracking them all helps separate out the data I can consider relevant. I have nothing on your PA Flemings, mine are all in WV, and the Monongalia Flemings were in WV with a John when my John was in WV. I could eliminate a potential marriage record for my guy because it was clearly for the Monongalia guy. I know about old ladies' tales. I've encountered and disproven so many. Their value is mainly as a pointer to where to look for the real information, from a genealogists viewpoint. From an ethnologists viewpoint, these charming tales point to how their contemporaries viewed the participants, a subjective view sifted through the values of the day, that, while not necessarily accurate, does illustrate what was important to the viewer and how they wished to be viewed.

Hello, I posted my Fleming family awhile back but I just found a new Fleming who lived in Tennesee, previously I thought my Fleming family had all been in the North. On Nov. 17, 1881 a local newspaper had this death notice: FLEMING - In East Florence, November 14, 1881, Luther Fleming, formerly of Tennesee, son of Solomon Fleming, aged 45 years. Here is the rest of the family as far as I know so far: Father: Solomon Fleming b: abt Mar. 1798 in CT d: Aug. 2, 1891 in Florence, Oneida Co., NY buried: in Grilley Cemetery, Florence, NY Mother: Sally b: abt. Nov. 1802 in CT d: Apr. 30, 1875 in Florence, Oneida Co., NY buried: in Grilley Cemetery Children: Lewis L. Fleming b: abt. May 1834 in CT d: Aug. 25, 1903 in Redfield, NY buried in Redfield Cemetery married: Nancy Groat (1836-1891). Luther Fleming b: abt. 1836 d: Nov. 14, 1881 in Florence, NY Mary A. Fleming (married E.A. Wakefield of Camden, NY and then Mr. Whitford of Florence, NY) There is a picture of Lewis L. Fleming on my website along with his descendants and their obituaries at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pointe/8983/fleminggroatpg.htm I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who might have a connection. Ann Leuenberger [email protected]

Dear Connie, I read with interest your message concerning Boaz Fleming. Which of the children is your husband descended from? Would love to have a copy of his chart. Boaz is my 4th great grandfather through his daughter, Clarissa who married James Hamilton. You will find me on page 442, sixth paragraph. I have a copy of the William Fleming book but thanks for posting the information because I had thought it was out of print.

This is a letter I got a while back that I am not going to retype. Bill, Thank you VERY much for sending me the John FLEMING pension records !! Attached, find a collection of misc. FLEMING records which I thought might prove interesting/helpful to you, provided you didn't already have them. Please note the 1813 marriage bond for my ancestors - Jacob GANTZ and Eliza FLEMING, dau. of John FLEMING, the bondsman. Since my John was alive in 1813 it would seem that the John that was indicated to have been pensioned and died before 1790 was not "my" John. :( Well, back to digging in the records.... Please let me know any further thoughts you might have or records you might come across on area FLEMINGs and I will do the same. Thanks again !

Bill, Charlotte, et al; My FLEMING is also James FLEMING, Jr b 31 Mar 1773 Hampshire Co, VA; d 11 Oct 1846 in Flemington, (W)VA; m 16 Mar 1797 Elizabeth WELCH b 29 Nov 1777; d 15 Mar 1847. Her parents were Sylvester WELCH will d 30 Sep 1800, prob 19 Feb 1810 in Hampshire Co and wife Jemima CARROLL (dau of Dempse CARROLL and Frances SANFORD). I have James Jr's father as the James FLEMING b 1744; d 1823 who with wife Ann bought and sold land in Hampshire Co in the late 1700s. Some say Ann was a JOHNSON, but I've not seen any record to verify that. I believe a WFT CD sez James parents were William & Margaret... Children of James, Jr. and Elizabeth include: - Patrick 1800-1872 m Mary C. BARTLETT - Mary 1806-a1850 m Samuel BARTLETT - Sarah 1809-1854 m John H BARTLETT (my ancestors) - Minor S 1812-1888 m Martilda Ann BARTLETT - Johnson C 1815-1900 m Mary BARTLETT and others... I'm interested in finding more early records on this family, and where they came from - I'll have to study Bill's info - unless the 1782 James FLEMING moved from Hardy back to the remaining Hampshire Co, then we've got 2 of them at least and my James, Jr. wouldn't come of age until 1791, and his wife was Elizabeth not Ann. I had always presumed there was just the James, Sr & Ann, until James, Jr was of age, and that there was only this one James FLEMING family in the area. I believe these 2 James' are the ones in the Harrison Co 1810 census, but I don't know when they moved... Like others, I'm still looking for records which would show where they came from before Hampshire Co...

Hi Jim, I, too am looking for a Fleming family in Hampshire Co. I am trying to find information on the parents of James F. Fleming, b. Hampshire Co 1775, d. Taylor Co 1846.
