Hi Tommy, Probably not a son, the sons that we know about were born in Tennessee and moved to Arkansas and Missouri about 1850. My G Grandfather, James Hartin Fleming, served in the Civil War while in Missouri, then moved to Arkansas where he is buried. As to cousin, just do not know enough to say. A researcher on a Lincoln Co., TN site recommended that I try Edgecombe Co. list, as some Flemings and others left Virginia for NC in mid-1700's due to poor farming economy at that time.
