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.
