This part of our family genealogy is quite lengthy and most interesting, if
true. The Flemings trace to Lord Malcolm Fleming who married Janet Stuart,
the daughter of King James of Scotland.

The English chronicler gives as the first of the family Stephen of Flanders,
who first assumed the name of Flanders or Fleming to show the nationality of
his forefathers. The Irish descendents of Stephen say that Stephan's Father,
Archembald, a nobleman of Flanders, came from the continent with William the
Conqueror and acquired the lordship of Bratton in Devonshire.

William, a younger son of Stephen of flanders, who died in 1197, had a son,
Sir Malcolm, sheriff of Dumbarton, who died in 1246, and his son Robert was the
well-known supporter of Robert Bruce. Robert had two sons, at least-Malcolm, who
was made Earl of Wigton, and who died in 1362, and Patrick. The son of Malcolm,
Earl of Wigton, inherited his father's titles and estates, but later sold them.

Patrick married a daughter of Sir Simon Fraser and had a son Sir Malcolm, who had two sons, Sir David and Patrick. The former had a son Malcolm, who married Elizabeth, Daughter of the Duke of Albany, and had Lord Robert Fleming, who married Margaret Lindsay. Their son was Malcolm, who married Euphemia Christon and had Lord John, who married Janet Steward. Lord John died in 1524, leaving a son, Malcolm, who was created Earl of Wigton under a second creation.

The First Earl of Wigton under this new creation had two sons—James, who succeeded to
his father's honors and was Lord High Chancellor to Queen Mary, and Lord John, who,
after his brother's death, succeeded to the earldom. The latter married Lillian Graham,
a daughter of the Earl of Montrose. Their two sons were John and Sir Thomas Fleming.
Sir Thomas married Miss Tarleton and emigrated to Virginia and there became the
originator of the southern branch of the Fleming family. This information from
