Mary Bolling married John Fleming. John was the son of Charles Fleming and Susannah Tarleton. He was colonel commanding the militia of Goochland, and burgess for Gooshland in 1732. His will recorded in Cumberland, December 27, 1756, names sons John, Charles, Thomas, Richard and William, and daughters, Mary (our ancestor; who married William Bernard) and Caroline. Charles and Thomas were prominent officers in the American Revolution and William was judge of the superior court of Virginia.
Two hundred fifty years later we can still know who these people were. We can know that they made a difference. How will we be remembered 250 years from now? How are we adding to our family history today?
Always pondering; always learning. Aunt Linda
