The speculation around John Carter's wife being named Mary Fleming is that he is known to have been married to a "Mary," as stipulated in numerous documents. In her will, it names her son, Fleming. Everyone has assumed that this must have been her maiden name, as was customary back then to name a son with the surname of the mother.
