Herman Bingham Fleming (1856-02-25 – 1929-04-24)⟮1⟯ and Jeannette June Burt (1861-07-22 – 1948-12-20) were my great-great-grandparents. They married 1879-06-02⟮2⟯ and had ten children, including my great-grandmother Mary Ryder.
Herman was the son of Elijah Fleming and Permelia A. Bingham.⟮2⟯ Jeannette was the daughter of Elijah Burt and Margaret Fraser.
Spelling
Jeannette’s name is spelled in a variety of ways in records: Jannett, Jenette, even Janet, and others. I am somewhat arbitrarily here using the spelling on her death record.
Notably, her grave has the spelling Jannett, although it also wrongly has her maiden name as Burke, so I’m weighing it less on that account.
The name may derive from her maternal aunt, whose name’s spelling is similarly variable.

They had ten children; most born in either Monkton or Hinesburg:
- Arthur Clayton (1878-12-21 – 1958-05-05), married 1st Bertha Harris, 2nd widow Marion Gladys (née Trow) Hamlin.
