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.

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. ----------------------------------------   Submitted by Tara Wallace-Maggard: (maggard1@@planttel.net) c 2001.
