Dear Lauren, The name Archibald Fleming caught my eye. My 4th g-grandfather was William Fleming born 1717 in Scotland and died in Kent Co., DE. He had a brother named Archibald. I have no information on him but Archibald has been a family name every since. Willian and Archibald also had brothers, John, Robert and probably Samuel. Do you think there my be a connection to your Archibald? My husband's ancestors also came from Ireland but settled in MD. We feel that there is a connection between the two families but haven't been able to prove it. His gggg grandparents were John Fleming and Ann Hopkins. Thanks for your comments. Charlotte P.

I don't have my census papers right here, but I think there are two or three. Have you checked these men as possible brothers of Richard? > > Phyllis Miller Fleming > Shelbyville, IN > [email protected]
