| Crawfurd reports that "The original ancestor of that name came from Flanders to Scotland very early, and assumed their Sirname and designation from their country. But the first mention I have found of the Fleemings of Barochan (sic) is in a charter granted by Malcolm Earl of Lennox, in the reign of King Alexander III" (who r. 1249-1286). It is possible but not necessarily probable that they shared a common ancestor (within Scotland or England) with the Flemings of Cumbernauld (shown on Fleming01) or those of Lancashire & Cumberland (shown on Fleming04) though, of course, they may have had common ancestors from earlier in Flanders. | |||||||||||||||
