How about Robert Fleming b. ca. 1733. His father was with him for he was killed by the Tories in about 1770. We call him GMOF-Grand Old Man Fleming. Robert had 4 sons and 2 daughters and we are a group of about 30 (last count) who all descended from this Robert. He married a "Pharobe ?" and we think there was a Rutherford and a Pliny somewhere for we have lots (8-9) at last count of Pliny Rutherfords in some combination in the descendants. Any help or connections you can give us will be appreciated. Joyce WJKELLY45 wrote: > Dear All, > > I just joined this list as of Mon. Actually i am not looking for any > one in particular.
