Fleming, or Ren Fleming, as lie was better known, was the last descendant by the name of Fleming of a good family. 1 At what time the Flemings came to ! this section of Mecklenburg county as ‘ it was before Cabarrus was formed, is ; not now definitely known. They were supposed to have come here about the middle of the eighteenth century, or ' 1750. They were of Scotch-1 rish de ■' scent. Whether they came direct from Ireland, or belong to tlie Scotch who emigrated to the north ol' Ireland first cannot now be known. Rev. Joseph B. March, TL 1)., says there were two streams of Scotcli-Irish emigration. Those who came direct from Ireland to Carolina, and tlu.se who came first to Pennsylvania and then to Carolina. 1 would infer that the Flemings came first to Pennsyl vania and then to Carolina. The dif ference seems to have been this, viz.: Those from Pennsylvania had been in this country long enough to be Judges of good land. See Caldwell’s history of Rocky River Church. The Flemings owned one of the best plantations in upper Cabarrus when in the virgin state. They belonged to the new side of the Presbyterians and welcomed Whit field. I never know a more decided * man than T. A. Fleming, father of Ben. When lie once formed an opinion as to the light or wrong of a question he adhered to the right with the tenacity of adamant, and spoke bis convictions freely. They were strictly Presbyterians but ever charitable to i other denominations. They remained on I I ho same farm continuously for 120 » to 140 years without ever moving off. something remarkable for this county. If they have ever failed to keep a contract or redeem a pledge I never heard of it and I have lived a close neighbor for 30 years. Mitchell Fleming, great grand-father ; of Ren. entered his first land here in " 1787 and it was registered in Mecklen burg county. The part of the farm where the Fleming home- now stands was sold by John Iluston to Archibald Gilmer in 1787. and Mitchell Fleming bought it shortly after. It has been handed down from father to son ever • since. - It will now pass to another name. llow sad! In looking over the old papers I ■ found over twenty-four hundred dol lars of Continental money, mostly printed by* James Davis, Newborn. \. ('.. in 1780. It is in paper and in de nominations front one-sixteenth of a dollar to five hundred dollars. This within itself goes to show that they were a frugal and prosperous people. G. C. GOODMAN.
