General Notes: Husband - John Fleming


The first ancestor of the family in this country, he was an Englishman by birth, and came to America long before the Revolu­tion, in which he took part, serving in the American army as commissary. He was one of the first settlers in Fayette County, PA, making his home near Redstone Old Fort, where he remained until his death. He was survived by his wife, and six sons, of whom Andrew and Daniel visited Venango County in 1795, coming out the next year to settle, while the mother and the other four brothers followed in 1798. They acquired land in what is now Oil Creek Township, Andrew getting possession of four hundred acres, and Samuel buying a claim six miles south of Titusville, on the hill east of Oil creek, originally taken up by Jacob Richards, who had cleared several acres and planted a small orchard. [CAB, 874]

Besides those named, one son moved to Missouri, another to Ohio. The last lived and died in Venango County, PA.
