Captain Alexander FLEMING married to Elsbeth (or Elizabeth) ANDERSON (b. abt. 1614 of Glasgow, Scotland - 6 Oct 1656 - 5 Jul 1658 in Rappahannock Co. VA), a daughter of William ANDERSON, probably the Marion BELL and William ANDERSON (b. 1588), who registered a testament in Glasgow 10 Nov 1623. After his wife's death, he married secondly (1659) Ursula, widow of John BROWN of Accomac Co., dec'd.  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, the rich and attractive widow of Anthony Hoskins (County Court Note Book VI:23). She survived him and married 3rd Lawrence Washington; and 4th James Yates. Joyce (b. 1613), was the daughter of Capt. William JONES. 

On 4 Sep 1667, Capt. Alexander bought 560 acres in the freshes of Rappahannock Co. He left his estate "Westphalia" to his wife Joyce FLEMING, Executrix, and other properties to his daughters Alexia and Elizabeth. The title "Captain" is clearly a VA one, probably related to the militia, but perhaps like KY Col., a matter of recognition, property and deference. 

Children of Elspeth Anderson & Alexander Fleming, all born Cumbernauld, Lanarkshire, Scotland, include:

1. John b: 1633.  Married Mercy Martiau.
2.  Elizabeth  b: 1635.  Married Robert Payne.  
3.  Alexia b: 1637.   Married Thomas Pace.

2. from "A Family Tradition, Tested" Of course, the logical next step is to examine the parish registers of Scotland where the Fleming family resided, in the hope of locating the baptism of John Fleming, emigrant. These are on films in our Library, under the general call number "F Scot. 6."mAn examination of these registers shows that Cumbernauld,  Barony,Gorbals, Govan, Biggar and Cambuslang parishes all have registers which begin too late to help with this problem. A search of the baptism records of Glasgow parish, Lanarkshire, reveals this entry for a child of Alexander Fleming and Elspet Anderson, his wife:  fflemyg Alexr fflemyng & Elspt Andrsone L Dochtr (i.e., lawful daughter) Mart; gd fathrs Rot. Cubo, Hendrew(?) Moresone, 13 September 1644." (F Scot. 6, part 966, Glasgow baptisms, Vol. 4, p. 350 b.)  It is written that the father of Alexander above had a private chaplain to serve his fami  y, who probably baptized the other children.
