      Rulaford.

      ! Son Robert would have been 25 years old and left the household.
      =================
      !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.

      ! 1850 Census, Caldwell Co., KY, Sept. 26, 1850 dwelling 825; family 825:
      Page 21; William Roberts; age 22; laborer; born Tennessee; wife Catherine,
      Robert, George W., Robert; age 5; John Fleming; age 20; laborer; born
      Tennessee. (This is the John Rulaford Fleming shown above.)

      !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.
