My 4th great-grandfather, Robert Fleming, had a daughter namd Lovina, born around 1816. But we have very poor documentation on her. What little hints we have found suggest she had a daughter named Lucinda, who was the mother of Francis. Perhaps they were the same person. What year was Francis born?<br /><br />I sent you a message on Facebook if you would like to chat in real time. <br /><br />best,<br />TonyTony Fleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16517930223241975419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363417267053930444.post-79922814531858501122016-02-20T14:28:14.011-05:002016-02-20T14:28:14.011-05:00I would love to chat.

Was his mother Lucinda Mullins? Was her mother Lovina Fleming, daughter of Robert and Elizabeth Fleming? <br /><br />Thank you for your help. <br />Tony Fleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16517930223241975419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363417267053930444.post-37825237403959481172014-01-13T09:57:39.675-05:002014-01-13T09:57:39.675-05:00Bebee, you are entirely correct concerning the wor...Bebee, you are entirely correct concerning the word "mean". It is well known that this can apply to certain descriptions, such as "mean time", or a "person of means".<br /><br />However, this is not the case in the story of Ambrose. Though he was born in the mid 1800's, my parents knew him very well, as did their parents. Even my sisters knew him! (I was born when most of my family was quite old. My sisters were 16, 19 and 21. My parents were born in the very early 1900's. Their parents were born in the 1880's)<br /><br />These family members knew him well, and he lived with them on several occasions. He took turns living with family members because no one could stand being around him for very long. <br /><br />So, this is more than just hearsay, and it's more than just a legend. It comes from actual accounts of people that knew him well, that opened their homes to him, and could give an accurate description of his personality.
