Author: johnbb49 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.fleming/1474.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: There are at least 2 genetically distinct Fleming families from MD during that period---Robert Fleming b. 1733 MD and my group (John Fleming b. 1688 who immigrated to MD in 1712). I know this because we have both groups in the RG surname DNA study. This Alexander Fleming is most likely part of my line. The Alexander, son of Robert Fleming b. 1733, was born later in SC and died there. Alexander from my line lived where much of my line did---Lancaster, PA and OH.
