Lynn, I have a Catherine FLEMING born about 1846 in IN, per the 1860 Decatur Co, IN census. Her parents (again, per census) were Shelby FLEMING and Rebecca ROE. There are several Archibald FLEMING's in IN, in the right place and right time period to be Shelby's father, but I have no connection yet. You also need to consider the slavery issue, given the time period and the states involved. IN did not allow slaves from the very beginning. I don't know very, very little about LA, but I would guess slavery was alive and accepted during that time period. It's hard to visualize someone moving to IN (away from slavery) and then moving to LA. But there are always exceptions!

Would the person who sent it in send it to me please? I was just researching the social security index on line and I found an Archibald Fleming in Louisiana? Would Archibald Fleming happen to have a daughter named CATHERINE FLEMING? Still looking for the family of my great great grandmother born circa 1841.... thanks, Lynn
