FLEMING, FLEMMING, NASH posted by Connie Olson on Monday, December 11, 2000

Looking for any information on Theodore FLEMING/FLEMMING,b. 1842-45 he married a Catherine NASH. They lived in the Aboite area, Allen Co, Ohio. They married on Nov 1 1879. Childrens names were: Charles Albert b. 1876, Jesse b. 1882, William b.1884, Walter b. 1888, Cora & Georgia b. 1890, Sabina b. 1893. The mother died and the children were placed in the Soldiers and Sailers Orphanage Home in Rush County as the dad was a Civil war veteren. He served in the 39th Co D Ohio. The parents died in 1899- 1900. Charles Albert being born in 1876 leads me to believe this is a second marriage for Theodore if this is the correct date of birth for Charles. I was told he was born in Tip Town Ky. Haven't found any info on them being in that area. Must of been inbetween the census years. Who knows if there was a misprint or he lied his age. Charles Albert was old enough to be on his own when the parents died. He married a Mae Hammond. Any and all info appreciated. Thanks
