I have found documentation that Middleton's father is actually Hezekiah Fanning and not Laughlin Fanning. There was rumor back in the 1960's that Laughlin was not his father.

Hezekiah Fanning married twice. The second time he married Chloe Jackson on November 28, 1796 in Caswell, North Carolina. On the 1784-1787 reconstructed NC state census he had 9 people in his household. There were 5 females and 4 males. Therefore, I believe that his first wife was the mother of all of Hezekiah's issue. I have not been able to find a name for her. Issue plus Hezekiah and unknown wife:
1. Judah.
2. Letty.
3. Mary.
4. Unknown female.
5. Middleton.
6. William.
7. Jehu (John).

I have found no records for Middleton Fanning born in 1765 having any records in Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, or Tennessee where he has middle name. I believe he had a son named Middleton, Jr., or it is possible he was a Middleton Michael Fanning.
