Here is something that I found online about Capt. Fleming:
 "THOMAS 3 FLEMING; b. __, d. 1777; was never married.  Thomas  Fleming,
resided in Goochland County, where he owned two plantations, "Dover,"  and another
on Little Lickinghole Creek. He was commisioned a lieutenant in the  Virginia
Regulars, May 26, 1757, and for several years served in the French and
Indian War.  In June 1759, when his will was written, he describes himself  as
"Captain in the frontier battallion of Virginia forces."  In August  1758, he was
included in a return, as a captain in Byrd's regiment, then  stationed at Fort
Cumberland (Campbell's History of Va., 500).   There are also on record in
the Virginia Land Office, several bounty warrants to  men who were privates in
his company, in one instance described as "Captain  Thomas Fleming's Company,
first Virginia regiment,' and in another, as in Byrd's  regiment."

It was  about 1759 that John Davis served under Captain Fleming in Byrd's
Regiment.
