My gggg-grandmother was Sarah (Jane?) Fleming, b. ca. 1776, Virginia. She had married Caleb Garrison by 1795-7, place unknown. The couple lived in Pendleton dist. SC, earliest record of the couple is the 1800 Pendleton Dist. census. they lived in the George's Creek area, across Saluda River from Golden Grove, where other Garrisons. A widow, Elinor Garrison and a James Fleming lived in the vicinity. Elinor Garrison and James Fleming moved to Georgia about the same time as Caleb and Sarah. In 1808, Caleb paid a poll tax for John Fleming; in 1819, he and Wm. D. Fleming bought land from Pliny R. Fleming with James Fleming, a witness. The land description mentioned the "old Wm. Fleming line." The only thing our family knows about Sarah's father was from Caleb and Sarah's daughter, Ann H. Garrison, and quoted down through the family that her grandfather was a Scot; spoke with a heavy burr and was somehow related to Robert the Bruce. Does anyone know who this ggggg-grandfather of mine might be? In Virginia circa 1776? Who was the James Fleming who lived near Sarah and Caleb in SC, then moved to GA about the same time? Who was the fleming Caleb paid tax for in 1808? And who is the Wm. D. Fleming Caleb purchased land with and what was his connection to Sarah? If anyone can shed light on this puzzle, please do so. Many thanks. Midge Garza [email protected]
