Rachel Homan Fleming was born in Pennsylvania, the daughter of John and Catherine Keas Homan. In 1860 she is found in the Canal, Veneango, Pennsylvania census age 14 living w/ parents, John and Catherine and her siblings, Mary, Henry, Margaret "Maggie, Sarah and Barbara. She married John Hamilton Fleming December 31, 1867 and their first son John M. was born in 1870. In the 1910 Census of Tullahoma, Coffee County, TN it is stated that she and her husband John have been married 42 years. Their second child, another son, Harry C was born in 1870.
In 1895 her first grandchild was born to her son John M. and Eva Marie Steadman Fleming and her name was Lillian. However, Eva died shortly after that and John left Lillian w/ his mother Rachel to raise. In 1902 John M. married again but he still left his daughter Lillian to live w/ her grandparents Rachel and John H Fleming when he and his new wife left for their new home in GA.
Rachel died in 1929, one year short of another census, but I haven't located her in 1920 where she would have been a widow of husband John.
It is letters written to Rachel and John that Rachel kept tied w/ a string and pictures that has enabled us to know so much about her and her family. One letter written to Rachel is from her brother-in-law J.G. Lytle, husband of her sister Margaret "Maggie". The letter is written on the letterhead Sherriff of Mercer, Pennsylvania written by Sherriff J.G. Lytle himself.
