Can anyone shed some light on the relationship between Caleb GARRISON and Pliney R. and William W. FLEMING?? They are referenced together in Deed Book B, entry # 14 for Franklin County, GA, but I have not seen the actual entry. Since Caleb was married to Sarah FLEMING, b. appx 1776 in VA, I am hoping that Pliney and William might be her family. Can someone with access to the records look them up?? Thanks for the help. Would very much like to discuss the FLEMING families that are found in NE GA around 1800. Will be glad to swap out some look ups in GONE TO GEORGIA by William C. Stewart. Thanks Zou Feagin [email protected] {Resent by Bob Francis}
I'm looking for information on ANDREW FLEMING, born early 1800s. He supposedly came to US from Canada to New York. (Yates Co. NY to Long Island). May have been married more than once. A son, THOMAS, was born in 1835 in Illinois. Thomas was married several times----Linda A. abt. 1855; Arletha HAZEN, abt. 1867 in IL; Alice Wells SHERWOOD, in 1888 in W. Terre Haute, IN. Mary Ash
I am researching the family of John Allen Fleming (b. 1858 in Missouri?) and married Sarah Overman (b.1859) in Wayne County, NC on Dec. 20, 1879. The couple lived in Wayne and Johnston counties in NC and produced the following children: James William Fleming (b.1880), Mary Jane Fleming (b.1882), Charlie Franklin Fleming (b.1884), Maggie Fleming (b.1887), and Aggie Fleming (b.1888). When Sarah died about 1895, John Allen married Pennie Godwin McCullum (b.1864) on Nov. 19, 1896 in Sampson County, NC. This marriage produced four more children: Albert Allen Fleming (b.1897), Lillie Fleming (b.1899), Billie Fleming (b.1901), and Pennie Fleming (b.1904). John Allen seems to have disappeared sometime prior to 1910 and I have not discovered what became of him. I am descended from James William Fleming who married Daisy Mae Hines in Johnston County on Aug.5, 1906 and produced the following children: Pearl Elizabeth Fleming (b.1907), Joel Carl Fleming (b.1909), James Allen Fleming (b.1910), John Robert Fleming (b.1912), Sarah Mildred Fleming (b.1914), and William Wilbert Fleming (b.1916) who was my father. I would appreciate any help that I could get with this family, especially a link to the parents of John Allen Fleming (born 1858) and residing in Wayne & Johnston County, NC about 1879.

Dear Phil, > Elizabeth died in1904 in Chicago -- she had been a Mother >Superior in the Roman Catholic order of the Sisters of Charity of the >Blessed Virgin Mary. Many of the women in this branch of the Fleming family >became "BVM's" as they are known. Although I don't believe we are related, I would be very interested in information about Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. My aunt has told stories about how my great-grandmother went to church every day and was buried in a brown gown that looked like a monk's or nun's garment. My great-grandmother was Mary Egan and married to a Michael Fleming. They had children (my great-grandfather), John Edward Fleming, b. abt. 1884, d 1917, William Fleming, Robert Fleming, Loretta Fleming. I know John Edward Fleming was born in Jersey City, N.J. and lived in Brooklyn, N.Y. He married Josephine MacDonough .
Hello, I'm reposting this for the new year. In the registers of St. Finbarr's South Church in Dunbar Street, Cork it is recorded that Mr. Arthur HOBBS married Anastasia FLEMING on 23rd September, 1807. The first child born to that marriage was Samuel HOBBS, who was baptised on 3rd August, 1808. There were six other children of that family. The last was baptised in 1825. It would appear that Arthur HOBBS died around this time. A Michael CONDON, a son of Michael CONDON and Anstey (Anastasia) FLEMING was baptised on 19th February, 1832, another child of the name Michael CONDON was born to the same Michael CONDON and Anstey FLEMING and baptised on 11 March, 1843. It seems that following the death of Arthur HOBBS, Anstey FLEMING, who had been the mother of seven children, married Michael CONDON. Deborah Pesa [email protected]
Lynn -- Your information is SO CLOSE I gasped when I saw it. >my Great Grandmother was: CATHERINE FLEMING she married MICHAEL MURRAY. > >We were told through family stories that both the Flemings and the Murrays >were from County cork and they settled in NEW ORLEANS, LA. > >Catherine was born circa 1840 and married in New Orleans circa 1860 ish. > >I have their children and grandchildren if anyone matches up to CATHERINE >FLEMING........ > >Hope to find some cousins in this group this year! > >Till later, Lynn > Do you know where in County Cork they came from? My Fleming ancestors came from Mitchellstown, County Cork. The farthest back I can go is John Fleming, possibly John Joseph Fleming, born ca. 1780-1790 (guestimate). He married Margaret (last name unknown to me) around 1810-1815 (guestimate). They had at least children: Mary, Ellen, Elizabeth, John, Bridget and Michael. Michael was the last one, born in 1823. He came to Canada in 1840, then to Boston in 1842, and was in Louisiana in 1843. He married Bridget Maher (b. 1824 near Kilkenny, Ireland) in 1850 in New Orleans, and they had 9 children, most born in either New Orleans or Donaldsonville: Edmund, Margaret, John Joseph (1851), Daniel (1853), Mary (1855), Elizabeth (1856), Johanna (1859), Agnes (1863), and William P (1867). They moved to Burlington, Iowa, around 1858. I do know that many of the Flemings in this family emigrated from Ireland in the 1830s and 1840s. I do not know what happened to most of them. I mainly have information on those in my line -- Michael Fleming's line. Margaret Fleming married a William McDonald and lived in Concordia KS. They had several children. I do know that Daniel Fleming was born about 1853 and died in 1899 or 1900, in New Orleans. Elizabeth died in1904 in Chicago -- she had been a Mother Superior in the Roman Catholic order of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Many of the women in this branch of the Fleming family became "BVM's" as they are known. Some of them did not have accurate birthdates, as three were given January 1 of different years by the BVM orders. Edmund K. Fleming married Elizabeth Garrity -- I do not know when or where -- and they had two children -- Edmund K, Jr., and Kathleen. I do not have birth or death dates or places for either of them. Kathleen and Catherine are very similar names. Does this ring a bell with you or anyone else? I certainly hope so. I do have more information, and will be happy to share what I have with anyone. Hoping to meet some "new" relatives, -- Phil Philip B. "Phil" Fleming Canton, Illinois, USA [email protected]
Since the New Year will most probably bring have more computer owners and more folks getting online I'll try my posting my Fleming information once again....... All of my Irishmen are giving me trouble my Sullivans, my Murray's and my Fleming. Here goes what little I know about my FLEMING: my Great Grandmother was: CATHERINE FLEMING she married MICHAEL MURRAY. We were told through family stories that both the Flemings and the Murrays were from County cork and they settled in NEW ORLEANS, LA. Catherine was born circa 1840 and married in New Orleans circa 1860 ish. I have their children and grandchildren if anyone matches up to CATHERINE FLEMING........ Hope to find some cousins in this group this year! Till later, Lynn

Hi Fellow Fleming Searchers, I am going to try posting again. It seems like I am the only one related to this Fleming family. Are there any cousins out there? MARTIN FLEMING came to Jerseyville, Illinois as a young man, probably with his parents. He was born abt 1825, I believe Kilkeeny. He married MARY FITZGERALD. Mary also arrived as a child in Jerseyville with her parents. She was born Sept. 15, 1823 in Kilkenny. Martin and Mary had the following children. DAVID m. Lizzie EPLEY Margaret m. Charles TOWELL, Charles BARNSTABLE and Dan BURNS Mary Eileen m. Thomas TINGLE Richard Thomas m. Bell COLE Bridget b. abt 1857 m. Joseph COPLEY John T. b. abt June 7, 1858 in possible Girad Illinois, m. Catherine RUSH in Jerseyville and d. September 13, 1936 in Pana (my g grandfather). If there are any cousins or others that know about this family I would love to hear from you. I have quite a bit of information on the John and Catherine Rush family and many other family members to the current date that I will share. Donna in Kansas [email protected]
FLEMING researchers, I hope this has been a wonderful holiday season for you. Speaking only for myself, I've eaten way too much food, sat around and goofed off, and generally have enjoyed myself immensely! As of today, our FLEMING surname discussion group has upwards of 135 members. Isn't that amazing?!? While we are growing daily, I wonder from time to time whether any of you have found connections with your roots. I'd love to hear the good news as well as the notes of frustration. So, if you've connected, please post. Some of you have become a bit discouraged because no one has responded to your query. Take heart, it sometimes takes patience and a willingness to post your query several times before someone responds with the information you need; and, of course, there is a very real possibility that no one will respond. However, I must say that I have personally been rewarded by perseverence. For example, I recently posted a query with a County genealogy web site and it sat there for almost four months before someone responded to me. That one response resulted in connecting with an ancestor line which now stretches all the way back to Charlemagne! Okay, 'nuff "philosophizing." I'll start the "New Year" out by posting my one-and-only FLEMING (actually, it was my desire to find her roots that prompted me to start this discussion group). Her name is Agnes FLEMING. I have a little information on her father also, so I'll include him in this post. I encourage everyone to brush off the dust from your old queries and repost them to the list. Who knows who might be reading the query for the first time and have that precious connection that you've been looking for? Happy Holidays!

Robert died in Romney, Virginia in 1772; he was 72. Occupation: farmer. W. J. Winstein of Academy street furnished the following interesting story of the early settlers in the Chartiers Valley. The paper was presented to Mr. Winstein by descendants of Robert Bell, Sr., and for a number of years was stored away in an old trunk, where it was recently found. The Bells were the first settlers in the Chartiers Valley, staking out a claim in what is now known as Rosslyn, in 1768. Many descendants of the original settlers are still living in this vicinity. The paper follows: Robert Bell, Sr., of Tyrone, Ireland, and wife, of Edinburgh, Scotland, located four miles from Romney, Va., on the south branch of the Potomic river, in the seventeenth century. Mr. Bell had many narrow escapes from the Indians of that forest. In company with two other young men, named Vaughan and Scisson, one day Robert Bell was in search of strayed horses, when the party was surprised by an Indian ambushcade on a branch of __augherty Run, Va. Vaughan was killed, a savage threw his tomahawk at Bell and wounded him. Scisson turned on his horse and fled. After the fight Mr. Bell was able to get on his horse, but he only went a short distance when he fell off. Mr. Bells horse arrived home before Scisson did and a party at once was formed to search for Bell. The party met Scisson at the Ohio river and he related what had happened to Mr. Bell. They supposed he was dead and returned to their homes. Within a week later they found Bell at Ft. Pitt, his wounds dressed by Dr. Knight, who figured conspicuously at the burning of Crawford. Mr. Bell served in the expedition of 1754, during the French and Indian War, and was among the number who accompanied General George Washington on his first trip on the Ka_awha. General Washington made a note in one of his diaries of those who accompanied him in his canoe. Mr. and Mrs. Bell had eight sons and two daughters. James Bell, Sr., the oldest, was born in 1751. When he was a small lad of ten years, his father went to Patterson Fort for a wagon load of wood. James and his brother went along, their father wanted them to gather wood while he was hauling some home. The two boys were busy gathering wood when the Indians attacked them. They caught James but his brother ran and the Indians shot at him and he fell under a log, the Indians thinking he was dead; he was not hurt, however, and later went home and told that James was captured.

He always claimed they crossed into Pennsylvania and came through Chartiers Valley, near Chartiers Creek. He told how they would have two lines of Indians and would make him run between the lines. And of an old Indian squaw who would be angry if they struck him, but he was a fast runner and did not get struck often. They pulled all his hair out of the top of his head and put rings in his ears. After he had been with them awhile the Indians got very friendly with him and when he left the old Indian squaw cried. In 1765 his father, Robert Bell, Sr., came from Virginia to Western Pennsylvania. On returning as he was nearing home in Virginia, after inspecting the land he intended to settle on in Pennsylvania, he was thrown from his horse and killed. In October, 1768, John and James Bell, Sr., came to Chartiers Valley, to what is now Carnegie. The first night was spent in Chartiers Township, now east Carnegie, and the second day they crossed Chartiers Creek, to what now is Rosslyn. The second night they slept under a sycamore tree near the Fording. When they awoke in the morning, James was alarmed at the noise of Indians ringing bells to see if there were any horses in the neighborhood. The Indians did not disturb the first settlers, and waded the creek at the rocks near the Fording and continued on with their noise. The two Bell men, after marking their respective claims, returned to their homes in Virginia. In the following spring, 1769, they brought their mother and their families. The mother remained with John Bell at East Carnegie, until she died. James Bell, Sr., had marked for his claim at Rosslyn, some 400 acres and 151 perches. He built his first log cabin near the present old Bell homestead, formerly owned by Mrs. Morrow, a granddaughter of James Bell, Sr. Mr. Bell, Sr., erected a family altar in his new cabin. The Indians were quite numerous. His wife, Mrs. Mary Bell, (nee Newkirk), would hang blankets around the wood fire place, then she would sit and mould the bullets, while James Bell, Sr., would shoot out of a small window, whenever the horses would come running from the spring near the oak tree. Many an Indian rested in its shade. They knew to look and get ready for the red man. James Bell, Sr., always carried his gun on his shoulder to church. In 1772, James Bell, Sr., built a stone house. In that house he used to relate his stories of his captivity by the Indians to his grandchildren. One day he and his youngest son, James Bell, Jr., was in Pittsburgh. They met some friendly Indians and some he knew. They presented James Bell, Sr., with a bead belt and a small trunk. The bead belt is in the possession of one of his sons descendants in Virginia. The small trunk is in the possession of one of James Bell, Sr.s daughters descendants and is well preserved. James Bell, Sr., died December 5th, 1836, and was buried in Chartiers cemetery. The first burial plot was where the present Lead Works is located on the little knoll in Rosslyn. Biography: Death date: 1772 {ES} Research: ROBERT BELL SR was born in Ulster, County Tyrone, Ireland between 1700 and 1710. He was of Protestant ancestry. (The Bells in U.S.A. & Allied Families, by Getha Gina Bell 1977.) ROBERT and AGNES FLEMING married about 1737. She was born in Edinburgh, Midlothian County, Scotland between 1700 and 1710. They lived near Belfast, Antrim County, Ireland. (Source; Dr. & Mrs. J.H. Bell, Jr., 1110 Somerset Ave., Windber, Pennsylvania 15963. The FGS is located in the Hampshire Co., West Virginia Public Library. ) They emigrated to America with their four children, all under the age of seven in about 1744. This was during the Scots religious and political persecutions. Tradition is that he arrived at tbe Port of Philadelphia, with two of his brothers. One of the brothers went south and the other to Pennsylvania. (NOTE: William Bell of Chester County, Pennsylvania, born about 1700, could be a brother. His will was filed in 1774.) Robert and Agnes settled in the province of Virginia, on Patterson Creek, which is on the south branch of the Potomac River, four miles from the present town of Romney. This was an area known as the Manor of Patterson Creek, Hampshire County, Virginia and is now West Virginia. (NOTE: Land Record; Abstracts of Northern Neck Warrents & Surrveys, 1697-1784, Vol. 4, by Peggy Shomo Joyner, pg. 24 shows Robert Bell as a chain carrier for a survey dated 11 Dec. 1750 in Manor Patterson Creek. Page 38 he was a chain carrier 10 Oa. 1752-20 Apr. 1753 etc.) There, they engaged in farming and stock-raising on their 330 acre farm. (NOTE: Patterson Creek Manor Tax List of 1762.) After living in this county for ten years, Robert served in the French and Indian War, under Colonel George Washington. He was a Private on the rolls of Captain Stobo's Company and Captain Van Braam's Company. Robert was wounded in the battle of Great Meadows 09 Jul. 1754 and retired with a small one time disability. (NOTE: Library of Congress, Roll of Virgina Regiments, Washington's Journal 29 Ju1.1754. Virginia County Records Vol. 11, (Va Colonial Militia) 1651-1776. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. 1982. Page ll3 &116. Virginia Colonial Soldiers, Page 46, 47, 49-51, 128,131, 133,143,159. Journal of House of Burgess, 1752-58, Pagc 265 and 273.) Their son, James age fourteen was taken prisoner by the Indians and held for several years until he was returned as a consequence of a treaty. (NOTE: Encyclopedia of Biography Vol. VII Pages 2540-41, by John L. Jordan, LLD, N.Y. Lewis Historical Pub. Co., 1916.) Their father, Robert signed a deed in 1771 in Romney. (NOTE: Hampshire Co., Virginia Deeds, Bill of Sale: Book No.3, Page 17, 18,289-291 from Thomas B. Martin 1771.) He owned a fine horse named Drednot, which was generally regarded as swift and sure footed, though spirited and irnpetuos; but once attemping to leap a brook, the settle girths burst and Mr. Bell Sr. was instantly killed in 1772. (NOTE: Source; Barbara A. O'Callaghan, 8042 N.14th Avenue, Phocnix, Arizona 35021. Thomas Jefferson Postlewait/Jane Mary (Bell) Postlewait/John Bell "Squire"/Robert Bell Jr/J ROBERT BELL.) His estate was sold by his heirs 09 Mar. 1773 to Okey Johnson. (NOTE: West Virginia Settlements, by Ross R. Johnston 1977.) This unfortunate accident did not deter his sons from pursuing the occupation in which they were already engaged, that of stock raising. Within a few years after their father's death the eldest two sons, James and John set out from home to seek more extended land ownership in the region west of the mountains, which was the formation of the "Ohio Company". The French wars had rendered this area familiar to many. They passed pass through Washington County and followed the Chartiers creek to it's mouth, reaching a point just above the borough of Mansfield on a evening in October where tradition says they passed the night. A bear had been killed during the day, and a large chip was cut from a swamp oak to afford means of cutting and preparing the meat. The vitality was not impaired; it survived several generations of the Bell family, and died of old age in October, 1873. They traveled by horseback to for the purpose of exploration. On the next day they crossed Chartiers Creek and spent the second night within Robison Township; and after marking the bounds of their respective claims inthe customary mannor, they then returned to Virginia,with the intention of removing their families to Pennsylvania and there making his home. The following spring they brought their families. James was the first permanent settler in Robison Township and John lived in Chartiers Township until their deaths. (NOTE: History of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, Vol. 1, A Warner & Co. Publishers, Chicago, ILL. in 1889.) All of Robert's family then moved to Washington County, Pennsylvania (NOTE: This area first settled in 1760 and became Alleghany Co., Pennsylvania in 1786.) settling in the Old Sewickley Settlement on the Ohio River and in Carnegie near Chartiers Creek. From there Agnes's sons and sons-in-law served in the Revolutionary War. After the war, her children Robert, William, DAVID, and Joseph moved to Harrod's Creek, Kentucky. They had not found the locality as well adapted to stock raising as they had anticipated. Samuel moved to Harrison Co., Indiana. James and John remained behind with their mother. Agnes was living with her son John near Chartiers Creek, in Carnegie, Pennsylvania when she died in 1785. She was first buried on her son's homestead in the Old Wood's Graveyard at Peter's Creek, Pennsylvania. Her body was moved back to Hampshire County, Virginia. (NOTE: Hampshire County, Virginia is now part of West Virginia.) The birth order of their children is uncertain. Dr. & Mrs. J. H. Bell Jr., Windber, Pa. report it to be Robert Jr. 1736, Joseph 1738, Samuel 1740, Margaret 1742, all born near Belfast, John 1743, Jane 1744, William 1746, DAVID 1748, James 1750 and Charles 1752. ("Robert BELL," pp. 17-19) They had the following children: i. Margaret Fry (1742-1795) ii. James (1740-1836) iii. John (1743-1833) iv. Robert (1736-1826) v. David (ca1755-) vi. Samuel (1742->1820) vii. Charles (1748-) viii. Joseph ix. William (-1816) x. Jane "Jean" (1746-)
Has anyone any record of an Elizabeth Fleming who married Thomas Smith in Fairfax Co, VA? Thomas was born in 1710 in Westmoreland Co, VA. I have their children's names and also Thomas Smith's father. Would appreciate any info on Elizabeth and will share any Smith info. Kate Rice, Murfreesboro, TN

I am looking for information on the parents of John Edward FLEMING who was born abt. 1884, Jersey City, N.J. and died February 15, 1917, Brooklyn, N.Y. His death certificate lists them as Michael FLEMING and Mary EGAN and states that they were born in the United States. John FLEMING had brothers, William and Robert and a sister Loretta and possibly other siblings.Mary EGAN also married a FISCHER and had additional children with him. Any information on this Michael FLEMING would be appreciated. Thank you. Mary Ellen

Hi Sandy, I too have Scottish Flemings, so hang in there, eventually more will arrive on the list. In actuality mine are Irish, found in Ayrshire, Scotland, but close enough :> I find that the UKers are just coming along a little slower in their use of the internet, but it is growing much more quickly now than a few years ago. Keep posting your info! Cheers! Bobbie Hall http://pages.prodigy.com/bobbie-hall <--- for genealogy data
Sandy, I echo Bobbie's words of encouragement. Somewhere someone might--even now--be reading these words and your connection will be made. Believe it or not, while I am the "listowner" for this discussion group I have yet to find the connection to my FLEMING ancestor, Agnes FLEMING. But I'll keep posting her name from time to time and perhaps someone will be reading. As I said in my Christmas message, I've had a lot more successes than failures. Hang in there!

From your listowner, As the year comes to an end, I just want to share some thoughts with my fellow family researchers. If I ramble a bit, just chalk up to approaching senility (like now). For me, this has been a very productive year in genealogy research. Through our discussion groups, I have gained a tremendous amount of information about my various family lines and, while I still have many unanswered questions about some of my ancestors, I must say that my successes have far outweighed the dangling (?) marks. More importantly, I've made wonderful contacts with long lost cousins as well as fellow dedicated researchers. I hope that these surname discussion groups have served to provide a good forum for learning more about your respective ancestors. I value your input in the form of queries, stories, genealogical data, and much more. I wish everyone a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season. Bob Francis Listowner for the FLEMING, HINKSON, SHAWHAN, and TROWER Surname Discussion Groups

Sandy [email protected] >> Well, I'm looking for Irish FLEMINGs. At least, the birth of my ancestor, Michael CONDON, was recorded in St. Finbarr's South Parish, Dunar Street, Cork City to one Anstey FLEMING in 1843. This sound familiar to anyone? Her name may also be Anastasia. Deborah Pesa [email protected]
