-----WILLIAM 3 FLEMING, "fourth son and sixth child was born at Mt. Pleasant in the county of Goochland (now Powhatan) on the 6th day of July 1736, and married Bettie Champe, the 7th and youngest daughter of Col. John Champe, late of the county of King George (merchant) on the fifth day of Oct. 1766 and had issue four daughters who lived to be women, and one son. He died at Summerville, February 15, 1824." (Family Bible). William Fleming was educated at William and Mary College, and while there was the collegemate and friend of Jefferson, and others, who became leaders in the Revolution, and with whom he remained on intimate terms in after life. On completing his College course he studied for the bar, and commenced the practice of law in Cumberland and the neighboring counties. Not long before the Revolution he entered public life, taking his seat as a member of the House of Burgesses for Cumberland in February, 1772, and was relected to the sessions of March 1773, May 1774, August 1774, and June 1775. Like all his family, Wm. Fleming was an active supporter of American rights, and in Feb. 1775 was a member of the county committee of safety of Cumberland. He was recommended by the committee for appointment as Colonel of the militia of the county, and qualified in this office by taking the oath Oct. 23d, 1775. On Nov. 26, 1775, when a new election was held to choose members of the committee, he receied next to the highest vote, and on October 28, 1776 was again re-elected, he and George Carrington receiving the same vote, more than was cast for any other (Journal of Committee). He was a member of the Conventions of March 1775, July 1775, December 1775, an dof that which met May 6, 1776, and declared the independence of Virginia, and in the last named he was a member of the "independence committee." (Journal of Conventions). After the establishment of the state government he continued a member of the House of Delegates, representing Cumberland in Oct. 1776, Dec. 1776, May 1777, and Oct. 1777, and Powhatan (which had been formed from Cumberland) in the sessions of May and October 1778, Dec. 1779, and Chesterfield in May and Nov. 1780. During the sessions of 1780, he was Chairman of the committee of the whole. On Dec. 10th, 1778 the Virginia Assembly elected him a member of Congress, in the room of John Banister resigned, to serve until August 11, 1778. (Journals of House of Delegates). He appears not to have taken his seat in the latter body until April 28, 1779, for on that date the Jornals of Congress record that he attended and presented his credentials. On Nov. 26, 1780 the Virginia Legislature again honored him by electing him a judge of the General Court, and some years later promoted him to the bench of the newly formed Court of Appeals. His commission to the latter position, dated Dec. 31, 1788, and signed by Gov. Beverley Randolph, is preserved. Nor was it only in a civil capacity that Wm. Fleming rendered service during the Revolution. When the county of Powhatan was formed from Cumberland he was appointed county lieutenant, his commision, signed by Gov. Henry, bearing the date July 31st, 1777. He probably held this office for several years, and as documents remaining show, rendered useful service. Among the few of his papers which remain is a subscription list taken in Powhatan county, for the purpose of paying bounties to recruits and preventing a draught of the militia. It is as follows, the number after the names indicating the number of dollars subscribed: "We the subscribers herey oblige ourselves to pay on demand, to the commander of the militia of Powhatan, the several sums of money set against our names respectively, to be by him equally distributed amongst such able bodied men as will engage to serve in one of the Virginia regiments on continental establishment, for one year, in order to prevent a draught of the militia for completing the sd requirements; provided that not more than 200 dollars, besides the public bounty, be paid to any one person so enlisting.

Austin, born November 3, 1738, was appointed a lieutenant in Washington's Regiment (1st Virginia) September 17, 1755 (Virginia Historical Magazine, I, 287), and probably served to the end of the
French and Indian War. At the beginning of the Revolution he was a Tory, and went to England, where he remained until the end of the war, when he returned to Virginia He married, in 1761, Lucy,

Family info from FTM CD-162, Gen. of VA Families, Brockenbrough Family.
Austin thought he was perpetually bound by his oath of allegiance to the king. In 1775, he sent a petition to the VA Assembly asking to be permitted not to join in what he considered illegal
rebellion but to be passive while obeying the laws. This was rejected and Patriots went to his house determined to punish him. He managed to escape to London and joined many other Virginians among
whom were John Randolph, brother of Speaker Peyton Randolph, Grymes, Corbin, Beverly, etc. In the seven years he was away his father and youngest son died. He returned in 1782 but a brother
advised him not to stay in Virginia; he went to Charleston, SC, then in British hands. When he finally returned is not known (Bishop Meade, Vol II, pp. 474-5).

Other marriages:Champe, Mary
Carter, Anne
Col. Lewis Willis was the son of Col. Henry Willis by his third and last wife, Mildred (Washington) Gregory. Lewis Willis was the half-brother of the wife of Col. John Thornton (Mildred Gregory)
and therefore in the same degree was uncle to Mildred Thornton, the second wife of Samuel Washington; as he was half-brother also to Frances Gregory, who married Francis Thornton, of "Fall Hill", he
was uncle to her daughter, Mildred Thornton, who married Charles Washington. It is interesting to remember also that Henry, the half-brother of Lewis Willis (on his father's side) had married his
(Lewis's) half-sister (on his mother's side). This was Elizabeth Gregory, who later married Reuben Thornton; this lady was married four times, but had no children.
Lewis Willis was himself cousin to George Washington and two years his junior; as boys they were chums and schoolmates; he served in the Revolution as Colonel of the 10th Virginia; was a Vestryman of
St. George's Church in Fredericksburg, and its most prominent lay member. The date of his marriage to Mary Champe is not known but both were very young; they had issue: Mildred; John W.; Henry;
Jane; Mary; William Champe.
After the death of his first wife, Mary Champe, Col. Lewis Willis married the widow of his brother-in-law, John Champe, of "Lambs Creek,' the sister of his son-in-law, Landon Carter. Mrs. Champe
had spent twelve years as the wife of John Champe, and had no children. After her marriage to Lewis Willis she became the mother of three, one only surviving. This was Byrd Charles Willis.

Colonel John Taliaferro was born in 1710. He died in 1756. He married Ann Champe about 1745.
In 1745 Ann Glendenning, daughter of George Mott, sold to Anne Champe, daughter of Col. John Champe, 250 acres on Muddy Creek, other purchases were made about the same time by Col. John Taliaferro,
Sr., from the same tract. These purchases were combined into the plantation which they named "Dissington." All of this land is described as lying in Brunswick, formerly Hanover parish. John
Tallaferro, Sr., of King George County, was according to the best information available, the son of John Taliaferro of the "Mount," on the opposite side of the Rappahannock River. John was born
about 1710. In the will of his uncle, Robert Taliaferro "of Stafford County," dated 1725, proved 1726, he, with his brother, Francis, "sons of my brother, John," is left ten pounds to be paid when
he comes of age. The Bondsmen appointed under the will were John Taliaferro (this is John of the "Mount"), William Taliaferro and John Taliaferro of "Snow Creek." John Taliaferro of "Dissington"
was a prominent man in the county of King George; High Sheriff in 1751 (Court Order Book, 1751-65), and Major of Troops (same, p. 116), of which his father-in-law, John Champe, of Lambs Creek, was
Lieutenant-Colonel (same, p. 96). In 1754 he was Overseer of the road "from muddy Creek to Colonel Champe's mill." He married Ann Champe, the daughter of Col. John Champe, Sr., of Lamb's Creek,
King George, one of the wealthiest and foremost men of the colony. (Hen. 6 and 7.) Col. John Taliaferro died early in the year 1756, and Col. John Champe, on July 7th of that year, qualified as
administrator of his estate; after his death, 1763, William Champe was appointed in his stead guardian of the Taliaferro children; they were John, Francis, Jane and Ann. Ann was born on April 7,
1756, about the time of her father's death.

Ann Champe [Parents] was born about 1723. She died in 1798. She married Colonel John Taliaferro about 1745. She had other parents.
Regardless of which of her brothers was the oldest son, it is evident that Ann was older than either of them, and was, in fact, the oldest child. There are in King George County a number of land
records which confirm this. John and George Mott had patented, in 1672, over 15000 acres, on Muddy Creek. On October 4, 1745, John and Ann (daughter of George Mott) Glendenning sell to "Ann Champe
250 acres on Muddy Creek, from her father's patent, in Brunswick, formerly Hanover parish, on Rappahannock River" (DB 3-85). On November 14, 1745, Jane and Elizabeth Dinwiddie "sell to Amn Champe,
eldest daughter of John Champe, 136 acres, Lambs Creek, Brunswick parish, formerly Hanover" (Ibid, p. 97).
Instances of young, unmarried women acquiring land by purchase are not numerous in early Virginia land records, but as the man whom Ann married about this time was also purchasing other and adjoining
tracts (as the records disclose) the inference that Colonel John Champe was thus investing a portion of his daughter's dower is not untenable; upon each of his daughters, on marriage, he bestowed
eight hundred pounds, currency.
