Martha was born to John (1730-1796) and Martha Purviance Ireland (1737 Castle Finn, Ireland-died Cane Ridge, Kentucky). She married Peter Fleming 1780 in Rowan County, North Carolina. In 1790-91, they moved to Cane Ridge, Kentucky, removing 1807 to extreme western Preble County Ohio; parts of which became Indiana Territory, then Wayne County, Indiana. The final state line ran very close to their property, which remained in Ohio. As per the provisions of the Northwest Ordinances, they brought one old slave couple with them "Old Gabe" and his wife. They were freed, but chose to remain with the Flemings, and are no doubt buried on their property.
They lived on the eastern slope of Sycamore Valley, but very near to Beulah Presbyterian Church; Their fellow church members, and traveling companions since Ulster, Ireland, Joseph and Sarah Smith Wasson lived on the western slope of that valley. That valley has since been disturbed by the railroad that crossed south of The National Road, and the construction of IR 70. It is assumed that either she was buried on the corner of their property as Peter was or in Beulah Cemetery. Family records indicate that her spouse Judge Peter Fleming is buried in the corner of his property.
Their son Samuel (1793-1839) was buried in Beulah with his wife Margaretta Finley Fleming(died 1835 and sister of the poet and Richmond, Indiana Mayor John Finley), and her namesake, their daughter Martha Ireland Fleming (1824-1835).
All graves from Beulah Cemetery were moved across the road to Springlawn Cemetery after the church was abandoned in 1846 and the American Aggregates Corp. purchased the land. Ruth Brown Egan
