Fleming Jones served in the War of 1812. Information from the National Archives reveals that he was a corporal in Boswell's 10th Regiment of the Kentucky Militia, Capt John Phillips' Company. The earliest Pay Roll card is dated from March 29, 1813 - April 28, 1813. The final Muster Roll states that he enlisted 29 Mar 1813 and was to serve until 28 Sep 1813. He was discharged at Bass Island, 22 Sep 1813. The distance from Bass Island [on Lake Erie] to the place of rendezvous was stated as 340 miles.

[NOTES: In the 1830 Monroe Co Census, J. C. Roper was counted next to Fleming Jones and two households from Thomas Jones. Lemuel Jones on same page. This is the only time David Jones appears in these land records. A David Jones is on a Cumberland Co KY tax list as early as 1799 along with an Elliott, 2 James, 2 Johns, Jonathan Sr & Jr, Joshua, Martha, and 4 William Joneses. David Jones appears on an 1810 Cumberland Co Census as age 26-45 & he's in the 1820 [45+] & 1830 Census [50-60] still in Cumberland; never appears on the Monroe Co Census. There could of course still be a younger David Jones. The 1850 Monroe Co had a David Jones, age 63, or born 1787, in KY and family. Also Fleming is said to have had a son David b. 1807 who could have been the Chain Carrier above. That would indicate the possibility of at least three David Joneses in the area.]

Fleming was 50-59 in 1830, but was younger than 45 in 1820.

p.398 1830 - Still in Monroe Co. Listed prob as 50-60; there is an older couple in the household - a male 90-100 and a female 80-90. Also perhaps as many as 13 children, some of them adults.
Lemuel Jones is found on the same page as Fleming. He and spouse are 40-50. There is a 70-80 year-old female living with them as well as 7 children. Lemuel not believed to be a brother, but may be a cousin.

Records from Marlene Jones:
Monroe Co KY Vital Statistics:
Deaths:
9/24/1854 - Mary Jones, 70, b. Madison Co KY, widowed, fever
10/12/1854 - Elizabeth Hall, 50, widow, daughter of Flemming & Mary Jones, fever.

I also found a Kentucky marriage:
Fleming Jones married a Polly Parks, 2 Oct 1801, Garrard County. This would be early enough for Elizabeth, born about 1804 to be their daughter.
Two other marriages of men named Fleming Jones confuse the issue. Fleming Jones of Bourbon Co KY married Polly Marshall, 29 Dec 1807. Fleming Jones m. Nancy Starky, 19 Dec 1816, Fleming Co.

I may have found these ladies in the 1850 Monroe Co Census:
p.393b; Dwelling 341: William Kerr, age 25, Farmer, b. TN, ?Surety age 25 b. KY, Thomas age 5, Zerena age 2, and Elizabeth Hall age 48, b. KY.
p.394; Dwelling 349: John Jones, age 29, b. KY, Eliza age 23 b. VA, Seilda age 3, Ann age 1, and Mary Jones age 66, born North Carolina.

Although a death of 1843 is given for Fleming, he doesn't seem to appear in the 1840 census, but his widow Mary may be there.
I believe Fleming may have died between 1830 and 1840. There is a widow Mary Jones in the 1840 Monroe Co Census. She appeared to be the head of a multi-family household. 1m 10-15; 2m 15-20, 2m 20-30 and 1f 10-15, 1f 15-20, 1f 30-40 and Mary age 50-60.

Information from Marlene Jones correspondence also names a son David Jones, born about 1807 and married 1827 to Nancy Williams, daughter of Thomas Williams. There may have been as many as 13 children.
David Jones is buried Jones Cemetery, Coe, Monroe Co, KY: Born 16 Aug 1807, died 19 Oct 1897
