its formation in 1728, and sheriff in 1730 and 1731 (Goochland Records). He is stated to

recorded in Goochland a deed dated 1744, from "Mrs. Jane Fleming" to Capt. Robert
Moseley, conveying an island of 28 acres in James River, opposite "Fleming's Rock Castle
tract." As it was the custom in that day to address unmarried women as "Mrs.," she was
probably a sister of Tarleton Fleming, for in 1742 Tarleton and Hannah Fleming witnessed
the will of Isham Randolph. The will of Tarleton Fleming was dated Oct. 30, 1750, and
proved in Goochland Dec. 18, 1750. He gives all his lands, stock, interests, furniture and
