He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh and served in the British navy. He moved to the colony of Virginia in 1755, landing first in Norfolk before moving to Williamsburg. There, he was commissioned as an ensign to serve under Col. George Washington. He engaged in border warfare. Fleming eventually settled in Staunton where he married Anne Christian on April 9, 1763. He gave up medicine for farming in Botetourt County (now Montgomery) at his estate called Bellmont. From 1777-1779, he represented several districts, including Kentucky, in the Virginia Senate. He took an active part in Western Affairs, twice heading commissions to Kentucky. In his last appearance as a public servant, Fleming represented Botetourt in the state convention which ratified the Federal Constitution. Fleming died on August 5, 1795.","Anne Christian Fleming was born in 1744 in Staunton, Virginia to Israel and Elizabeth Christian. She had two siblings: William and Rosanna.

There are commissions, wills and estate inventories, land surveys and indentures, a manuscript map, and documents related to Indigenous nations. Other documents mention enslaved people, usually those who were to be inherited. One folder holds items specific to Kentucky but there are other documents throughout the collection that also have relevance to Kentucky, such as correspondence, land records, and receipts. Daniel Boone's name can be found throughout the collection as he was hired to survey land within what is now Kentucky. Notable signatures within the collection include Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, James Monroe, and Benjamin Harrison. The collection also includes an account book kept by Fleming between 1765-1783. Some accounts are medical in nature. Lastly, the collection holds George Baxter's honorary degree from the University of South Carolina dated circa 1812.","There are transcriptions for correspondence and other items which were done in 2000.","Includes 1768 and 1773 deeds of gift of land to Anne Fleming from her father","Includes information related to land ownership, list of books and pamphlets, financial information, payments made to Commissioners and the State of Virginia.","This folder includes a 1783 receipt handwritten by Daniel Boone for land he surveyed.","Includes a list of distances between towns and cities, testimony (1780), prayer (1809), copy of an act for disclaiming lands (1794), printed letter from the Board of War dated July 8, 1779 asking for information of the \"numbers and strength of the militias of the several counties within the4 state,\" financial document of Israel Christian, 1763-1766, Order from the House of Delegates for the care of armies, 1777 November 27, document regarding expedition against the Indians, 1777 August 29, broadside \"Acts of General Assembly passed October Session, 1777\"","circa 1754 fragment issued by Robert Dinwiddie and signed by George Washington, August 25, 1755 appointment issued by Robert Dinwiddie, 1762 appointment issued by Francis Fauquier, circa 1771-1775 appointment issued by John Murray, Earl of Dunmore (part of the document is missing)","The leaders of the Native American contingent were named as Captain White Eyes, Captain Johnny, and Weyandahila.","The materials from Washington and Lee University Special Collections are made available for use in research, teaching, and private study, pursuant to U.S. Copyright law.
