I am researching the Flemings of Franklin Co. In 1808, my Caleb Garrison paid a poll tax for John Fleming; in 1819, he and William D. Fleming bought land from Pliny R. Fleming, with James Fleming a witness. This land description mentioned the "old Wm. Fleming line." The relationship between Caleb and these Flemings is unknown, but it is possible they were of Caleb's wife Sarah Fleming's family. Sarah was born in Virginia. The only thing we know from family tales is that her father was born in Scotland; spoke with a Scottish burr, and was somehow related to or descended from Robert The Bruce. Midge Garza
