Noris Fleming was born September 13, 1801 in Kentucky to Jacob Fleming and Niomey Goodwin. He married Mrs. Lucinda Boyce on March 27, 1823 in Clark Country, Ohio. She was born on August 22, 1796 in Virginia.
Their children include:
- Benjamin Goodin Fleming, born October 3, 1824 in Logan County, Ohio
- Niomey Fleming, born March 10, 1826 in Logan County, Ohio
- William Fleming, born March 29, 1830 in Logan County, Ohio
- Isaac Fleming, born January 18, 1835 in Delaware County, Indiana
- Semantha A. Fleming, born in 1839 in Casstown, Miami County, Indiana
The Noris Fleming family was living in Adams Township, Champaign County, Ohio in 1830. According to the census there was an extra male and female children, older than those listed above and born before Noris and Lucinda's marriage. An educated guess would suggest the two oldest children in the 1830 census were from Lucinda's previous marriage.
On August 17, 1835 Noris purchased 40 acres in Randolph County, Indiana. By the time of the 1840 census, the Noris Fleming family was in the adjacent Delaware County, Indiana.
In the 1850 census the Noris Fleming family is found in Stoney Creek Township in Randolph County, Indiana. Noris is 51 and an Innkeeper, with real estate valued at $1,000. Lucinda is 54, William is 21 and a carpenter, Isaac is 13 and Semantha is 8. Their oldest children, Benjamin and Niomey, were not living with them, as they both got married in the 1840s.
By 1860 the Noris Fleming family was found in the census for the Taylorville Post Office in Christian County, Illinois. His family at that point included Noris, Lucinda and their daughter Semantha. Mitchel King is also living with them, and he marries Semantha later in 1860.
Son Benjamin and his family were living in Missouri and son William and his family was in Illinois in 1860. In the early 1860s Noris and Lucinda are in Moultrie County, Illinois. Their son Isaac gets married in that county in August of 1865 and Lucinda dies and is buried there in December of 1865.
Noris Fleming died August 22, 1869 in Burlington, Coffey County, Kansas.
