John Fleming (November 1697–1766)[1] was a judge in Cumberland County, Virginia who served in the Virginia House of Burgesses for more than a decade, working with John Robinson and Peyton Randolph.
He married Mary Bolling on January 20, 1727, in Chesterfield, Virginia.
They had several children, including sons John, Thomas, William, Richard, and Charles, and daughters Mary and Caroline.
In 1764, he worked alongside Patrick Henry, George Johnston, and Robert Munford to draft the Virginia Stamp Act Resolutions, a significant precursor to American revolutionary sentiment.
His legacy continued through his son, William Fleming, who later succeeded him as Cumberland County's representative in the House of Burgesses.
