Abigail Smith, Daughter of Peter Smith of Westmoreland County, Virginia

Daughter Abigail became the wife of William Fleming.  

Their children were John and William; Elizabeth, who married Thaddeus Jackson; Margaret (Peggy), who married Rodham Pritchett; and Mary Fleming.   

William Fleming's will was dated 7 January 1767 and was probated 28 April 1767.[1]  He left his estate to his "wife Abigail" and to each of his children, "one negro."

Mary Smith, Daughter of Peter Smith of Westmoreland County, Virginia

Daughter Mary was given 48 acres of land in Westmoreland County, "where she now lives."  

It is very likely that her husband was John Fleming. The record of his will shows these dates: "15 November 1744; 26 February 1744."[1]   

His wife is not mentioned but he does mention daughters Sarah and Anne and sons Peter, Thomas, and William, as well as John Bailey and James Bailey.

There were, without doubt, intermarriages between the Smith and Bailey families.
