Fleming enlisted with the 39th Kentucky Mounted Infantry and was mustered
into the service on 15 Jan., 1863, at Piketon. He was in The Battle of
Turman's Ferry (See By Robert Baker and Brian Hall) and was one of the
men mentioned who suffered frostbite from exposure. Fleming was admitted
to the Regimental Hospital on 25 November, 1863, with Chronic Rheumatism
according to the Surgeon General's report and was discharged on 15 Feb.,
1864, at Catlettsburg in Boyd Co., KY, due to disability. His pension
papers describe him as 6' tall, fair complexion, light or gray hair, and
blue eyes.
On 22 Dec 1885 when J Fleming was about 62, he second married Elizabeth
"Peggy" HARDY-ARTRIP (widow of Jackson ARTRIP), in Lawrence Co., KY. Born
on Aug. 1827, in NC. They had no children.
J. Fleming STAFFORD died in Boyd Co., KY, (Catlettsburg) on 27 Mar.,
1901. Elizabeth HARDY-ARTRIP applied for Fleming's pension. The pension
file is approximately 41 pages long and includes a "Special
Investigation" into the circumstances of Fleming's death. One of
Fleming's daughters, Sophie STAFFORD-WELLMAN, accused their step-mother
of having poisoned their father to death. It was never determined from
the pension papers whether or not the daughter's claim was proven to be
true.
