Fleming Lineage

This information taken from the Book, Finding Your Forefathers in America, by Archibald Bennett. Printed and original copyright by Bookcraft Inc, 1957.

The Fleming family in Virginia had a most interesting tradition of descent from an Earl in Scotland. The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 23, page 214, explained it in these words:

"An old record preserved in the Fleming family states that the immigrant ancestor was 'Sir Thomas Fleming, second son of the Earl of Wigdon in Scotland who married in England Miss Tarleton, and came to Virginia in 1616, settling first at Jamestown and afterwards removing to New Kent County 'where he lived and died.' Besides several daughters he left three sons 'Tarleton, John and Charles.' How far this statement in regard to the descent from the Earl of Wigton is correct has never been investigated, but certainly the date given for the immigration is too early. There may be other errors in the tradition.... It is quite possible that the Virginia Flemings descended from one of the younger sons of the Earl. A letter written in Virginia more than a hundred years ago which states that one of the family, the older brother of judge Wm. Fleming, was then heir to the Earldom of Wigton, shows the antiquity of the tradition."

Exact Statement of the Tradition. It is always instructive to read the exact wording of the traditional story, and to know something of the qualifications of the one who wrote down the account. The writer was Charles Woodson, born about 1710, the son of Tarleton Woodson and Ursula Fleming. He received a finished education and seemed "to have manifested more interest in his ancestors and the family history than any of his contemporaries. He it was who, after extended research and, necessarily, wide correspondence, compiled the historical and genealogical data upon which all subsequent publications have been based. Copies of his manuscript have been given to a number of descendants and other members of the family." (The Woodsons and Their Connections, p. 44.)

While the record he compiled in his later years has its imperfections, it has been described as "highly authentic and valuable." Before his death he had a new frame put on an old looking glass, and on the walnut frame he inscribed these words: "This glass belonged to Stephen Tarleton who was my great-grandfather and died in the year 1687. I have had the present frame put on it this 14th of December, 1794."
He was himself a Fleming descendant, and wrote, as a marginal note, in a book, the following declaration: "John Fleming, brother of the late Judge Fleming, of the court of appeals in Virginia, was heir to the earldom and estates of Wigton. He was an officer of the American Revolution and fell in the service of his country, refusing to leave her service for the immense estates and earldom of Wigton."

Truth and Error in the Tradition. As in most stories transmitted through the generations, mostly orally, there is error to be detected in this one. judge William Fleming did have an older brother named John Fleming. But he died in 1767, before the American Revolution began. It was actually his son, John Fleming, who fell in that struggle.

This young man was a Captain in the First Virginia Regiment of the Continental Line. Toward the end of the year 1776 his regiment marched northward and joined the American forces about Philadelphia under Washington. He commanded his regiment in the Battle of Princeton, January 3, 1777. The Americans were being forced back, several companies broke and fled, and there was danger of a general stampede. Washington was alarmed and rode forward, great peril, to attempt to stem the retreat. He rode his horse between his men and the British, who were only about thirty yards apart, and became the target for the enemy's fire, but was providentially preserved. "It was just at this moment when disaster seemed imminent, that the First Virginia, led by its heroic young Captain Fleming, came out of the woods, cheering and shouting.' Stopping on a line with Washington, just 30 yards from the British, the brave young officer of 22 coolly ordered his men to 'dress the line before they fired.' Whereupon, the British exclaimed with curses 'We will dress you , and poured in a deadly fire. Undaunted the Virginians returned the fire. Then the British engaged in a bayonet duel with the Virginians in the course of which Captain Fleming and Lieutenant Bartholomew Yates (aged 19) were mortally stabbed.

"The British were forced back, and the example of the First Virginia had a saving effect." (Tyler's Quarterly, Vol. 12, p. 11 et seq.}
On Jan. 24, 1777, a notice appeared in the Virginia Gazette: "By accounts from the northward, we have the melancholy news of the death of Captain John Fleming of the First Virginia Regiment, who proved himself to be a gallant officer, and nobly fell on the 3rd instant, near Trenton, at the head of his company, in defense of American freedom. He was universally esteemed by those who were acquainted with him, and his loss is much regretted."

The Heir to the Earldom. It was a far cry from this youthful American patriot to the Earldom of Wigton in Scotland. But let us test the tradition about the second son of the Earl. The most authentic account of the historic Fleming family of Scotland is found in The Scots Peerage, a History of the Noble Families of Scotland, Volume VIII, pp. 519-558. Robert Fleming, the first from whom it is possible to trace descent, flourished in 1290. Eleventh in line from him was John Fleming, 1st Earl of Wigtown, who married Lilias Graham. Their second son, James Fleming, of Boghall, died in October 1623, leaving two sons, John and James, who both died without issue. Hence he left no male descendants to be heir to the title. .

His older brother John became the second Earl of Wigtown. He was probably baptized at Kincardine about 9 Dec. 1589. He succeeded his father as Earl in 1619. He was a member of the Privy Council in 1626; and was appointed a Privy Councilor by Parliament Tested 13 Nov. 1641, but he entered heartily into an association framed at his own house to support King Charles I, in the impending Civil War, in Jan. 1641-2. His marriage contract to Margaret Livingston, second daughter to Alexander, first Earl of Linlithgow, was dated 20 Feb. 1609. He died 7 May, 1650.

Their son and heir, John Fleming, third Earl of Wigtown, was succeeded by his son John, 4th Earl and William, 5th Earl. The latter was succeeded by his two sons, John and Charles, sixth and seventh Earls, respectively, neither of whom left male descendants. After the death of Charles Fleming, seventh Earl, without male heir, the earldom was temporarily assumed by Charles Ross Fleming, in the year 1747. He claimed to be descended from Alexander Fleming 4th son of the 1st Earl of Wigtown. When the House of Lords examined his claim they debarred him from the title, 25 Mar. 1762, and expressed grave doubts on the genuineness of the documents on which the claim was based. The dignity thereupon became dormant or extinct.

A chart will show how this came about, that there was no heir to claim the title. (Only the sons are named.)

From this it is self-evident that if there were any legal heirs to the Earldom in 1762, they must trace their lineage through Alexander Fleming, the second son of the second Earl.

This would seem to harmonize with the family tradition of the Fleming family in Virginia, that they were descended from the second son of the Earl of Wigton, even though the name of that son was different from that which had been handed down to them. The problem before us is to prove whether this Alexander, the 2nd son, left any male issue, who could have been in line to succeed to the title.

CAPTAIN ALEXANDER FLEMING OF VIRGINIA. It is indeed true that an Alexander Fleming came to Virginia, and just at the time when many of those who had espoused the royal cause in the Civil War in England took refuge in the Colony. Was he identical with the "second son" and did he leave male issue?

In Americana, Jan. 1939, pp. 326-348, appeared a scholarly article under the title, "Captain Alexander Fleming and Joyce, His Wife." In it the author, Lenora Higginbotham Sweeny, has assembled a fine store of record material about Captain Alexander, including his many land grants, his three marriages to three widows, and the names of his two daughters , Alexia and Elizabeth Fleming. She has made a real contribution, but there are still facts unexplained.

On February 12, 1937, I sent for publication to the editor of the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography an article on "The Fleming Family." One paragraph read: "An exam of this family tradition in the light of facts now obtainable seems to indicate that the immigrant ancestor was Captain Alexander Fleming and not Sir Thomas, and that he was indeed the second son of John Fleming, second Earl of Wigtown in Scotland and that John Fleming elder brother of Judge William, was actually the legal heir to the earldom from 1747 until his death in 1767, after which his eldest son, Major John Fleming who fell in the Battle of Princeton, 'was then heir to the Earldom of Wigton."'

The Americana article was inclined to a similar view: "The first Fleming of whom any record is found in Virginia, is Alexander Fleming, who came to Virginia in 1649-50, with other adherents of Charles I and who on August 6, 1655, purchased land in Lancaster County, Virginia, from William Moseley, a resident of that county. . . . (Lancaster County Deeds, &c., 1652-57, p.
214.)

"As nothing further is known of the history of Alexander Fleming, second son of the Earl of Wigton, it is possible that he is identical with Alexander Fleming, the Virginian immigrant of 1649- 50...."From a deed of record in Rappahannock County, Virginia, we know that Captain Alexander Fleming died testate. The writer has been unable to locate his will...."Elizabeth, daughter of Captain Alexander Fleming and wife, Joyce, married Rowland Thornton.... Alexia, daughter of Captain Alexander and Elizabeth Fleming, married, not later than June 4, 1683, Thomas Pace, of Rappahannock County, for on that date she united with her husband in a deed to a plantation ... part of Alexia's share of the estate of her deceased father, Captain Alexander Fleming, land given in his last will and testament to his daughter, Alexia. ... (Rappahannock County Deeds, &c., No. 7, p. 37.)

"Alexander Fleming, who married Sarah, daughter of William Kenny, and was living in Richmond County, Virginia, January 3, 1692, may have been a son of Captain Alexander Fleming by his first wife, Ursula, and perhaps there is a descendant and 'heir-male of lineal descent,' who could claim title to the Earldom of Wigton." (pp. 328, 340, 348.)

Alexander Fleming's First Wife. We must first make sure that Alexander Fleming, "the second son" did not live on and die in Scotland. If he did, that would be fatal to the tradition.

Volume 56, of the publications of The Scottish Record Society contains records of the Burgesses and Guild Brethren of Glasgow, 1573-1730. There were three ranks-a simple Burgess, a Freeman, and a Guild Brother. A Burgess could enter as a Guild Brother by payment of 13s. 4d. Honorary Burgesses were persons admitted gratis by favour of the Town Council, either by reason of their own eminence or through the influence of their friends. A Guild Brother's son or son-in-law might become a Guild Brother by paying 20s. at his entry; but he must be worth in lands, heritage or moveable gear 500 merks if a merchant.

On 10 April 1629 the following were admitted as Burgesses and Freeman, gratis:

John Fleming, lord (This would be the later 3rd Earl.)
Alexander Fleming, his brother
William Fleming, also his brother
Alexander Fleming, their uncle
Patrick Fleming, in Balloch
Malcolm Fleming, servitor to John, Earl of Wigtown
Robert Fleming, servitor to John, Earl of Wigtown
(son of Malcolm Fleming of Woddelie)
John Fleming, servitor to Earl of Wigtown (p. 73)

This was really quite a family party. You will note they were not made Guild Brethren. Alexander would then be about 17 years old.

Volume 36 of the Scottish Record Society is entitled Charter Chest of the Earldom of Wigtown It contains valuable family documents, some of which give genealogical information. No. 710 reads: "5 Apr. 1636. A Sasine of Alexander and William Fleming, lawful sons to John Earl of Wigtown, is two respective annual rents effeiring to the principal sums of 10,000 merks each upliftable forth of the lands of Harbetshire, barony of Denny and lands of scleugh…” (pg. 85)

Alexander Fleming, merchant, was admitted a Burgess and Guild Brother, 2 April 1646, as having married Elspeth, lawful daughter to the dec. William Anderson, merchant. (Scottish Record Society 56:118.) (William Anderson, cordiner became a Guild Brother, as the son of a Guild Brother, 22 Mar. 1610. (Ibid., p. 39.))

Wills of Alexander's Uncles and Brother. I have before me the Testaments and Inventories of 1. Alexander Flyming, merchant burgess of Glasgow, who deceased in the month of April 1666. This would be the uncle of the younger Alexander. No heirs are mentioned; 2. James Fleming of Boghall, in the parish of Killeland, who deceased in the month of October 1623. Given up by Jonet Birsbane, his relict, and four of "their lawful bairnes" are named. This was another uncle of Alexander; 3. Sir William Fleming one of H. M. Ushers to H. M. Privy Council. (This was Alexander's brother.) The heirs were "sister's children of the said Sir William; William, Earle of Wigtoune for himself and in name and behalf of Mr. Charles, Ledies (Ladies) Margaret, Lillias and Jeane Fleming his brothers and sisters, brother's children of the said Sir William, and only executors decerned to him." This was confirmed 22 June 1672. (Glasgow Testaments Vols. 35 and 20; Edinburgh Testaments Vol. 74.)

Had Alexander, the second son, been living in Scotland on the date of this will, or had he left heirs living there, surely he or they would have been named in his brother's will. There is no will listed for this younger Alexander.

Captain Alexander Fleming, also called "Gent., had died in Virginia between 30 Dec. 1668 and 13 Mar. 1668-9. He had children, but they may not have been known in Scotland.

The Traditional Three Sons. According to the story handed down the second son married in England Miss Tarleton and besides several daughters left three sons-Tarleton, John and Charles. The facts are twisted in the tradition. It was Charles Fleming who married Susanna Tarleton, the daughter of Stephen Tarleton. He named a son Tarleton.

Here is an interesting sequence of headrights. Alexander Fleming is said to have come to Virginia in 1649-50. He was a headright 15 Feb. 1655.

2 July 1650. Eliza Fleming headright of John Oliver. (2:219)
18 Feb. 1653. Cha. Flemin a headright of Emperor, Gale and Morgan. (3:47)
8 Nov. 1653. John Fleming a headright of Joseph Croshaw, York Co., on the
south side of York River. (3:51)
1 Sep. 1653. Christopher Fleminge a headright of Col. Wm. Clayborne, Sec.
of State, land at Pamunkey, N. side freshes of York River.(3:34)
12 Oct. 1652. Patrick Flemin a headright of Anthony Hoskins, Northampton Co.
16 Sept. 1663. William Fleminge a headright of Col. Abraham Wood, Charles
City Co.
17 Apr. 1667. Robert ffleming a headright of Alexander Fleming on south side
of RappahannockRiver.

It is significant that of these both Alexander and John received grants of land in 1658, each for 250 acres. Charles and William received no grants until 1688 and 1691, respectively, being evidently children when they were brought over. It is likely that the Eliza. Fleming was the first wife of Alexander Fleming, the Elpset (or Elizabeth) Anderson whom he had married before 1646 in Scotland. John was probably their son, and the father of Charles, William and perhaps Christopher. Nothing more is heard of him or Patrick or Robert.

The family had extensive land grants. Alexander Fleming patented 5790 acres, between 1658 and 1667, on both sides of the RappahannockRiver. No accounting has ever been made of all this land. John, between 1658-1680, was granted 2643 acres; and Charles, between 1688-1719, 11,700 acres.

These three grants are quoted to show that Charles was the son of John:

20 Apr. 1680. To John Fleming & Andrew David, 1000 a. in NewKentCounty,
for transportation of 24 persons.(Book 7:25)

18 Apr. 1688. To Charles Fleming of New Kent County, Planter, 1079 a. in
the Parish of St. Peter in the county aforesaid "to the line which
divides this from the lands late of John Fleming decd." Due for
importing 22 persons. (Book 7:658)

23 Oct. 1690. To Charles Fleming, 1000 a. in New KentCounty. The said
land being formerly granted to Jno. Fleming & Andr. David,
by patent dated the 20th of Aprill 1680 and by them deserted
& since granted back to Jno Fleming by order of the General
Court dated the 16th of Aprill 1690, and is due for importing
20 persons. (Book 8:105)

A Tentative Arrangement. In the light of the known facts and the family tradition, this seems to be' the logical Fleming genealogy:

CAPTAIN ALEXANDER FLEMING, second son of John Fleming, 2nd Earl of Wigtown, and his wife, Margaret Livingston, was born about 1612, probably at Cumbernauld, Lanark, Scotland. He died in Rappahannock Co., Virginia, between 30 December 1668 and 13 March 1668-69. He married 1st probably about 1631, ELSPET or ELIZABETH ANDERSON, daughter of William Anderson. She was probably the headright to Virginia in 1650. He married 2nd before 5 July 1658, URSULA, the widow of John Browne, "late of Accomacke, Decd." She was living and signed a deed with him 19 Apr. 1660. He married 3rd before 5 Feb. 1660-61, ELIZABETH MADESTARD, sister of Thomas Madestard, and widow of Epaphroditus Lawson and William Clapham, Jr. On 3 July 1666 she is called in a document "Late Wife of Mr. Alex. Fleming." He married, 4th by marriage contract signed about 15 May 1666, in Westmoreland County, JOYCE JONES, widow of Anthony Hoskins (County Court Note Book VI:23). She survived him and married 3rd LawrenceWashington; and 4th James Yates.

He married MERCY or MARY. He had generous grants of land in NewKentCounty, in the years 1658, 1661, 1670, 1673, 1680. The Registers of Charles Parish, York County, Va., 1648-1789, yield these entries:

"Lidia Flemming, dau. of John by Marcy, bap. Oct. 30, 1679."

"John Fleming, son of John by Mary, b. April 14, 1683." (p. 90)

"John Fleming departed this Life ye 27th day of August and was

His will, if he made one, was lost in the destruction of the New Kent records.

He was a merchant and planter, owning slaves and extensive tracts of land in New Kent, King William, Henrico and what is now Goochland Counties. The family were Quakers.'

Land Notes for Colonel Charles Fleming:Charles Fleming married Susanna Tarleton, a daughter of Stephen Tarleton. Charles was possibly the son of John Fleming who, “departed this life the 27th day of August and was buried the 30th day of August 1686.” When Charles secured a patent to
18 April 1688: 1,079 acres in St. Peter’s Parish, it was described as next to the land of John Fleming, deceased. Fleming held
23 Oct 1690 2,000 acres in New Kent County,
25 April 1701 1,184 acres in Pamunkey Neck,
1704 and paid quit rents on 1,700 acres in King William County and 920 acres in New Kent County
16 June 1714 Charles had a patent to 1,427 acres on the south side of the James next to John Pleasants, 732 acres on the north side against Elk Island, and 670 acres on the south side of the river Richard Ligon surveyed two of these tracts for Fleming.
16 June 1714 With John Woodson the same day, he got a patent to 1,278 acres on the north side of the James. Since Woodson died before they could divide the land in 1717, Charles sold his interest to John Thornton of NewKentCounty the same day that Tarleton Woodson and John Woodson sold Thornton the interest they inherited from their father. Both Woodson brothers were Fleming’s sons-in-law. The same day Tarleton and John Woodson swapped 500 acres in HenricoCounty with Fleming.
16 Aug 1715 In New Kent County Charles got 1,900 acres, and he was back in HenricoCounty in
1718 with 1,430 acres on the north side of the James next to Capt. John Bolling. We have no will of Charles Fleming. Deeds in GoochlandCounty reveal that he left 500 acres to grandsons Charles Jordan and George Bates. Should they die, the land would go to Samuel Jordan and Matthew Jordan. A petition identifies Tarleton Fleming and Bowler Cocke as devisees of Charles Fleming. He also directed “FlemingPark” of 732 acres be sold to Stephen Hughes, which was done 15 February 1738/9.

Notes and History of the Fleming Family From the Frances Cowlles Document
“The Name Fleming is from Flanders, the home of the first of the Family—

Stephen, who planted his name in England—the Flemings in the South Colonel Thomas, and how he fooled the Indians in a fight—the New Jersey Flemings—and the Arms of the Old Fleming Family, and the Fleminsh Motto. By Frances Cowlles

It is an interesting fact to the genealogist that the motto borne by the Fleming, or Flemming, family is the only motto recorded in British heraldry which is still written in Flemish. [Editor's note—No, it is actually written in Gaelic] This motto, “Bhear na Righ gan”—“May the King live forever”—must date from a very ancient period, as the Flemings have been in England and Scotland for almost a thousand years.

The English chronicler gives as the first of the family Stephen of Flanders, who first assumed the name of Flanders or Fleming to show the nationality of his forefathers. The Irish descendents of Stephen say that Stephan's Father, Archembald, a nobleman of Flanders, came from the continent with William the Conqueror and acquired the lordship of Bratton in Devonshire.

Stephen Flanders, or Fleming, had a son, Archembald, said to be the ancestor of the Irish family of Flemings who become lords of the estate of Slane, County of Meath, Ireland. There were twenty-three recorded generations of Barons Slane, but the title became dormant in 1726.

William, a younger son of Stephen of Flanders, who died in 1197, had a son, Sir Malcom, sheriff of Dumbarton, who died in 1246, and his son Robert was the well-known supporter of Robert Bruce.

Robert had two sons, at least-Malcom, who was made Earl of Wigton, and who died in 1362, and Patrick. The son of Malcom, Earl of Wigton, inherited his father's titles and estates, but later sold them. Patrick married a daughter of Sir Simon Fraser and had a son Sir Malcolm, who had two sons, Sir David and Patrick. The former had a son Malcolm, who married Elizabeth, daughter of the Duke of Albany, and had Lord Robert Fleming, who married Margaret Lindsay. Their son was Malcolm, who married Euphemia Christon and had Lord John, who married Janet Steward. Lord John died in 1524, leaving a son, Malcolm, who was created Earl of Wigton under a second creation.

The First Earl of Wigton under this new creation had two sons—James, who succeeded to his father's honors and was Lord High Chancellor to Queen Mary, and Lord John, who, after his brother's death, succeeded to the earldom. The latter married Lillian Graham, a daughter of the Earl of Montrose. Their two sons were John and Sir Thomas Fleming. Sir Thomas married Miss Tarleton and emigrated to Virginia and there became the originator of the southern branch of the Fleming family. Sir Thomas, it is said, had three sons—Tarleton, John and Charles. John died in New Kent, VA., in 1686, leaving a son Charles, who married Susannah Tarleton. The children of this marriage were as follows: Elizabeth; Judith, who married Thomas Randolph; Colonel John, who married Mary Bolling; Tarleton of Rock Castle, who married Hannah Bates; Robert, who was burgess for Caroline county, and Susannah, who married first John Bates and then John Woodson. Colonel John, the third child and “son and heir” of Charles and Susannah Tarleton Fleming, had five sons and two daughters. Of these the eldest John, was captain of the first Virginia Regiment in the Revolution and was killed at the battle of Princeton in 1776. Charles, the second son, was Lieutenant Colonel of Continental troops in the Third Virginia Regiment; Thomas was Colonel of the Ninth Virginia Continentals; William was judge of the Virginia Supreme Court, and the youngest son was Richard. John, the eldest, married Susannah—, and had a son John. Colonel Thomas, the third of these five sons, was the most distinguished. He was born in 1727 and commanded two hundred men in the battle of Point Pleasant, with the Indians, in 1774. The white forces were in command of General Lewis and the Indians were commanded by Corn Stalk. Fleming's men hid behind trees and held out their hats. The Indians, mistaking the hats for the white men's heads, shot at them. At this, Fleming's men would drop the hats and the Indians would rush forward to scalp their victims. When the Indians got near them, the whites would jump from behind the trees and tomahawk the unwary Indians. These men were all backwoodsmen and knew as well as the Indians, the methods of Indian fighting. There were a thousand Indians and only four hundred whites, but the battle was a signal victory for the whites. Unfortunately, Fleming was severely wounded in this engagement, but he was none the less willing to enter the Revolutionary army a few years later. Thomas Fleming married the daughter of Major John Bolling, the son of Colonel Robert Bolling and the daughter of Thomas Rolf, the son of Pocahontas.
