He was not the son of Sarah Fleming

If anyone knows parents, please advise. I’ve locked relationships so he doesn’t get added to wrong family again,

Erica Howton, good find, thanks for pointing it out. The link no longer works, so it's a good thing it was posted in 2012. Thanks for all of your help.

Private User I’d like to set the tree according to the link. That means adjusting dates and locations, changing wife to “unknown” and disconnecting extra children. The alternate dates and locations saved in “about.”

Erica Howton, I just wanted to confirm that this William's parents are unconfirmed? Nothing is mentioned in his bio, but many trees, including MH trees, show him to be the son of Malcolm Fleming and Jean King.

I noticed there is a relationship lock, just not sure if it's on for the parents.

William Fleming, Sr.

I would need to see real records. Tree is never good enough for making the leap across the ocean, and everything I’ve seen so far is the usual for the Scotch-Irish - “brothers came from Scotland ...”

There are good records from Scotland in the 1690s and that’s a very specific birth date, which makes me nervous that it’s supported as the emigrant.

Locations for Birth vary, and he certainly was not an Earl of Wigtown!

Also - see a death given at 1750 Ulster or Scotland or 1766 - Cookstown, Derryloran, Tyrone, Ireland ....
