Dear Sir:

The bounty land records of this office show that October 8, 1807, Susanna Lewis and Mary Ellis applied for the bounty land which was due [[strikethrough]]on account[[/strikethrough]] for service of their brother, John Fleming, as Captain and Major in the 5th Virginia Regiment, War of the Revolution. Said Major John Fleming was killed at the battle of Princeton, and said Colonel Thomas Fleming died in service of small-pox. They were both unmarried. The dates of their births and the names of their parents are not shown, nor the date of death of Colonel Thomas Fleming.

The application for bounty land was executed in Richmond, Virginia. Susanna Lewis, whose maiden name was Susanna Fleming, was then the widow of Adison Lewis, and resided in Gloucester County, Virginia. Mary Ellis, whose maiden name was Mary Fleming, was then the wife of John Ellis. At the time she married John Ellis, she was the widow of Warner Lewis.

Warrant #409 for 400 acres of bounty land was issued April 21, 1808, in behalf of Susanna Lewis and Mary Ellis, heirs of Major John Fleming.

One William Fleming was present in Richmond, Virginia, in 1807, when this application for bounty land was made. No relationship to the family was shown. There are no further family data on file in this claim.
