You ask:..."Why the change in commander's??"...
Fleming died 30 Jan 1777. Actually, Mathews (note only one "t") date of rank as Col is 10 Feb 1777, although some sources have him taking command in August 1776.
As for your ancestor, try contacting Lee Stewart of Temple, TX, a descendant of John Goolsby.
