Notes:

! Caldwell Co Marriages by Brenda Jerome,1809-l873.
Robert R Fleming married Miss Martha Jane Marshall on 22 Feb 1843 by
Robert Fisk consent by bride's father RR Marshall

! One record shows Robert being born in 1810 in Carroll County, KY- but
grandniece Mary Ilene Fleming (Hinshaw) notes shows Robert R. Fleming.
born 1815, died 1857, name and dates on his marble Grave Marker (fallen).

! He died of typhoid (winter fever).

! 1850 Census, Caldwell Co., KY, Sept. 26, 1850; page 336; dwelling 824;
family 824: Robert Fleming; age 34; farmer; real estate $1,000.; born in
Tennessee; Martha Fleming; age 22; born Caldwell Co., KY;
Children
Martha Fleming; age 6; born in Caldwell Co., KY; Nancy C. Fleming; age 4;
born in Caldwell Co., KY; John J. C. Fleming; age 5/12; born in Caldwell Co.,
KY.

Robert married Martha J. Marshall on 22 Feb 1843 in Caldwell, County, KY. Martha (daughter of Reuben R. Marshall and Elizabeth James) was born in 1828 in Caldwell County, KY; died in 1863 in Lyon County, KY; was buried in Jones Cemetery, Lyon County, KY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

! Martha was the third child of Reverand Reuben R. Marshall, born 1794 in
Scott County, KY and Elizabeth James, born 1798 in VA, a duaghter of
Thomas James, Sr., a Lieutenant in the Revolutionary War, and Elizabeth
Robinson.

! Martha surely had stressful and trying times. In 1849 she was
two months pregnant with her fourth child, John, when Mildred, her third
child died at two years of age.

! In April 1857 her husband died of winter fever. About four months
later on August 7, 1857 her first child Martha died from lockjar at three
years of age.

! She was appointed administrix of her husband's estate on 10-20-1857,
but she relinquished her right of guardianship of her remaining children -
Nancy, John, Isabella, Sarah, and Gablriel to her father Reuben. His
guardianship put him in charge of their finances and explains why they were
listed as Marshall's in the 1860 census, even though they lived with their
mother.

! Out of the eight children, only three lived to be adults, the other death
dates are not known.

! It is probable that both Martha and Robert R. are buried at Jones
Cemetery and their markers probably destroyed during the 1937 Flood.
There are many immediate family members buried there.

Notes:

! David is the oldest positive record of a Fleming as an ancestor.

! His father could be Peter Fleming, James Fleming David Fleming or Robert
Fleming. Some records indicate that David C. was born in Virginia as well as
was Martha Russell.

! Sept 4, 1809, David Fleming is listed having land on Wilson Creek, on North
Side of Duck River, in Bedford Co., Tennessee. There is a state park there
now. Deed book F pg 402, shows David Fleming as a occupant claim, May
17, 1810.

! David C & Martha (Patsey) Russell Fleming, last known residing in Carroll
Co., Tenn, in the 1840 Census

=================
!David Fleming married Martha (Patsy) Russell on 10-3-1803 in
Oglethorpe County, GA. The date of this marriage would indicate David was
born in approximately 1780. and Martha in 1785.

! Information in Carroll County, Tenessee Court House show that David lost
his land at the Court House door to settle a tax lien. Evidence suggests
that his first wife, MARTHA HAD DIED AND HE HAD REMARRIED. Looking at
Census records in TN for 1820 & 1830 show a 15 year difference between
husband and wife. However in 1840 there is a 20 year difference.

! Suspicion: Martha had died, the two boys could (20 & 25) were old enough
to work. Mary was 16, old enough to help around the house and take care of
12 year old Catherine. The first record of John Rulaford Fleming is in the
1850 Caldwell County, KY Census showing him Undisclosed in the household of
William and Catherine Roberts, he was 20 years old. Was he sent to
live/work with "others" when his Mother died?

! If David did marry twice, the second wife's maiden name was RULAFORD
because writings of Mary Ilene Fleming stated that John Rulaford Fleming
was named after his Mother.

!FLEMING SURNAME HISTORY
by Paul McCotter

!The majority of Irish Flemings must descend from the many individual
Flemings who settled throughout the Anglo-Norman colonial area at the
time of the invasion. Certainly the name occurs in virtually every colonial
county in the Justiciary Rolls of the period 1295-1314. A particularly
important family of the name were lords of Slane in County Meath.

!The surname is scattered throughout Ireland and those in the three
southern provinces certainly descend in general from settlers of the
Anglo-Norman period. In Ulster most Flemings must descend from
seventeenth century Scottish settlers, Fleming being a leading Scottish
surname although ultimately of the same origin as the Irish name.

David married Martha (Patsy) Russell on 3 Oct 1803 in Oglethorpe, County, GA. Martha was born in 1792 in VA; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

!Reuben married Elizabeth James (born 1798 in VA) on 4-20-1819.
Married in Bourbon County, KY. Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas James, Sr, a
Lieutenant in the Revolutionary War and Elizabeth Robinson.
