'the PASSING OF A GOOD FAMILY
( , —r-
Mr. Editor:
Mr. R. XV. 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.

Dashed to Pavement Raising Umbrel
i la; Dies.
Charlotte, March 13.—While at
tempting to raise an umbrella in the
face of a high wind, Edmund C. Barto,
aged 97, was dashed to the pavement,
sustaining injuries to his head which
resulted in his death within a few mo
ments, here yesterday.
Mr. Barto was formerly an employe
!of local newspaper, having moved
herwabout eight years ago from the
middle west. Funeral arrangements
are pending the arrival of a son. now a

nology at Pittsburgh.
Quintet Heard With Interest.
A large and appreciative audience
i gathered at Westminster Church Tues
! day night to hear the Biddle quintet
which came under the auspices of the
Westminster Guild. They sang negro
melodies and other choice selections.
Their natural talent and careful train
ing gave a treat of the harmony of!
blended voices seldom heard. While
every number on the program was en
joyed, special mention might be made
of the trio Dreaming and the quartette
from Rigoletto. j
