J. Colter and Mary Caroline Fleming
Posted by: William Muller (ID *****3372) Date: January 28, 2007 at 18:09:02
  of 1676

Can someone help me answer questions about the family of Thomas FLEMING and Louisa Mariah BURTNER? Louisa Mariah Burtner is a great granddaughter of Alexander NEGLEY of Pittsburgh.

1. Who are the parents of Thomas P. Fleming?

2. When and where did Louisa Mariah Burtner Fleming die?

3. Where are Thomas and Louisa Maria buried?

4. Mary Caroline Fleming is supposed to have married someone by the name of J. COLLAR/COLTAR/COLTER/COULTER? Who is he? Who were his parents?

5. Since it is not likely that Mary Caroline could have had a child after she had died (by nearly a year), what is her correct death date (or, alternatively) the birth date of her second child?

6. What are the given names of the two known children of J COLLAR/COLTAR/COLTER/COULTER and Mary Caroline Fleming?

7. Alfred Fleming is a puzzle all his own: What were the names of his two wives? What were their birth dates and when did he marry them? When did each of his wives die?

8. Who are the WHERRY children, listed as step children of Alfred Fleming in the 1920 census?

9. Can someone provide additional details about the children of Alfred Fleming (with both wives)?

10. Can anyone provide additional information about Etta Jane Fleming and Maria Fleming (husbands, if any; death dates and places; possible children)?

11. Likewise, the family of Joseph Fleming.

12. Can anyone provide additional information about George Fleming and Emma Louise Fleming (husbands, if any; death dates and places; possible children)?

Generation No. 2

2. Mary Caroline2 Fleming (Thomas P.1) was born Aug 06, 1860 in Allegheny Co., PA, and died Oct 15, 1882. She married J. Collar 1879.

Notes for Mary Caroline Fleming:
Floyd Negley gives two birth dates, over six month apart for Mary.


How could the second child have been born AFTER its mother's death?

More About J. Collar:
Name 2: J Coltar
Name 3: J. Coltar

Marriage Notes for Mary Fleming and J. Collar:
Resided in Freeport.

This family is a mystery. The different sources are not certain if the grooms last name is COLLAR or COLTAR. They are not to be found in the 1880 census at the LDS site.

Further, Felix Negley has Mary dieing in 1882, but the second child is not born until abt 1883. There is a problem there.

More About Alfred Fleming:
Name 2: Alford F. Fleming

Marriage Notes for Alfred Fleming and Martha Wherry:
Resided near Freeport, PA (in 1898?).
=================================

If the birth and marriage dates are correct, it would seem that Alfred was 22 when he married the 13 year old Martha. Not unknown, of course, but a bit unusual. And, again, if the dates are correct, the couple didnot have any children for the 8 years of married life.

But who are Alfred's step-children in the 1920 census? Jarres R. Wherry, a 14 year old female; and Orvill S. Wherry, an 11 year old boy. Their ages overlapp with the children of Alfred and Martha.
