Waldron, Arkansas.
Dear Sir:
September 9, 1937.
BA-J/MMHF/ILL
Reference is made to your letters of August 21, in which you state that you have found a record of a Samuel Fleming (Flemming)
Sr., who served in the North Carolina line and received land  in Tennessee, also, a William Fleming (Flemming Sr. ) who served in the
North Carolina line, was recorded in Census of 1790 in North Carolina.  You state that you believe those two soldiers to have been Samuel and William Leming and said William to have been identical with
William Lemmons of Gloucester County, Virginia, who served in 1776
1778, 6"" Virginia, received land located in Kentucky and died about
1812. Greenbrier County, Virginia, 1783 Census recorded as Fleming
and had a son, William.
In a claim for pension, S. 1952, based upon service of a Samuel Fleming in the Revolutionary War, his name is plainly written
Fleming and he signed his name Samuel Heming. He served in the North Carolina troops and received his pension while living in Rutherford County, Tennessee.
In a claim for pension, S. 32250, based upon service of William Fleming in the Revolutionary War, it is shown that he served in the
North Carolina and South Carolina troops, having enlisted in Rutherford
County, North Carolina. He was living in 1832, and received a pension,
then a resident of Hall County, Georgia. He signed his name plainly ( Flemming, etc.) who served in the Virginia troops.
William Fleming. It is not shown that he lived in Virginia, nor is there a claim for pension on file based upon service of a William Fleming
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER,
Executive Assistant

     ____________________________________________

                 EXPLANATORY NOTES.
*QUERE V,  In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
   "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades;  For _____
year_____ months, and ______________ days, I served as a ______________ For _______ months and _________ days, I served as a _________; and for such service I claim a pension.

Page 13

3.
It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served,
and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the
pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite
, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions
merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the
officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objection
able. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration
of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the
applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either
in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed
in any civil pursuit.
QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must
prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of
the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the
regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths
must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate
must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every case where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not
written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass
under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly
attached to the certificate.
In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of
office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the
certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

Amendment to the Declaration of Wm Flemming

Georgia 
Hall County
Personally appeared before me an
acting Justice of the peace in &
for said County William Fleming who being
duly sworn deposeth and saith that by reason ┃
of old age and the consequent loss of memory ┃
he cannot swear positively as to the precise
length of service; but according to the
best of his recollection he served not less
then the periods mentioned below and in
the following grades.
On the Second day of March 1779 I
was drafted into service as he private militiaman
under Lieutenant Elijah Flemming and attached
to Majr Ross Battalion & Colo. Neals Regiment
and marched to a place called brier Creek Bridge
at which place Colo Nash was defeated by the Eng
 Iwas not in the engagement Majr Ross with 
Sixty of his men having been that morning
ordered out to ascertain the situation & Strength
of the enemy who we had learned were in the
neighbourhood, but to our surprise when we returned
to the Camp in the evening the British were in
possession and took thirty of our men before we were
apprised of the defeat of our troops. the remainder
our men retreated and some time in the
night come up with a part of Col. Nash men
who had encamped on the South side of Savannah
River. On the next morning we started for the 
headquarters of Gen Williams near the ┃
City of Augusta (or where it now stands), I remained
at this place two or three weeks and was
discharged having served two months
some time in the month of July in the

Page 15

same year I was drafted again for Two months as a
priate Militiaman under Capt Saddler and attached
Lieutenant Col. Watsons Regiment and marched to
Stono a place on Stono River had been there three or
four days before the battle was fought at that
place. I was on the picket guard which was
not called in and consequently was not in the
engagement after the engagement was over I was
marched up the River two days march and
encamped where I remained until my term
of service ended I was discharged verbally & 
returned home.
Some time in the month of October in the
same year I volunteered as a private militiaman
under Capt Leiper and marched to Cumberland
in the State of Tennessee to guard the settlement
against the Indians and was stationed at a place called
the French Lick (the place where Nashville now
stands) Shortly after getting there Capt Leeper was
wounded in a Skirmish with the Indians and
was succeeded by Capt Drake. We had
Several Skirmishes with the Indians during this
Campaign in which I served eight months but
being informed that such service is not
as military service. I, hereby relinquish all claim
to said eight months service.
Some time in the month of February 1781 I volunteered
as a private militiaman Capt Hannah who
ordered with his company to march to where a bunch
of Tories had embodied on the Water Creek
were attached to Majr. Moores Regiment in
this expedition, the above named place is situated
in Camden District South Carolina. We took
Colo Phillips and a considerable number of the
tories under him and marched them, to a
Blockhouse on Allison, Creek after remaining
theret four or five days I was discharged having
served thirty days.

Page 16

In a short time after geting home I was drafted
into Capt Hannah Company as a private
Militiaman for two months and attached
to Col Brattons Regiment and marched to
Fridays Fort which was in the possession
of the enemy we besieged the Fort and
remained there until the enemy surrendered
Shortly after which I was discharged & returned
home.
In about two months I was again drafted into
Capt Blacks company as a private militiaman
and attached to Col Brattons Regt
and marched to Bickum Church which was in
the possession of the enemy who set fire to the
Church and retreated at our approach we
then marched to Genl Sumpters plantation
on the Santee River where we remained until
my term of service (which was two months)
expired being discharged I returned home
Capt. Black then received orders
from Col Bratton to keep his men in Tealings [sic]
to march at a minutes warning and
was kept in this situation at least eighteen
months sometimes in pursuit of the tories
and at other times watching their movements
and generally guarding we settlements
for which eighteen months services I hereby
relinquish all claim being informed that it is
not considered military service.
But for the foregoing nine months service
done under competent authorty I claim
a pension

Will you please inform me of such family data as may appear
on your records concerning
William Fleming, also spelled Flemming, senior, soldier of the
Revolutionary war North Carolina Line. U.S. Census of North Carolina 1790 lists him under such spelling.
I think this is Leming as he is identified by records.
He seems also to be the same William Lemmons of Gloucester Co. Va.
who served 1776-78 in 6th Va and land grant from a recorded in
Kentucky as Leming. He died about 1812 but had a son named William. Greenbrier County, Va. 1783 census Fleming

in the South Carolina Continental Regiment of
Artillery, commanded by Col. Barnard Beekman.
