Joanna

Notes:

BIRTH: Date and place of birth are approximations.
MAR #1: Stonington deeds show that Joanna Fleming, wife of Robert Fleming, of Stonington had children Thomas and Mary Rose, to whom she deeded land in Stonington on 18 Jul 1681 (Stonington Deeds, 2:61, 62 [FHL #005593]). These deeds are very faded. See partial transcripts in Alfred L. Holman, BLACKMAN AND ALLIED FAMILIES (Chicago, 1928), 169 (FHL #929.273 B565h). The identity of the father of Thomas and Mary Rose is uncertain. On 20 Sep 1698, Joanna sued Caleb Fobes and Ebenezer Witter for the theft of two pewter dishes, one of which was inscribed with the initials TRJ (Holman, BLACKMAN, 169, citing New London Co. Court recs, 7:219). The initials may stand for Thomas Rose and Joanna, suggesting that Joanna's first husband was named Thomas, which was also the name of their son.
MAR #2: No mar rec found. Robert Fleming of Stonington deeded land to his "son-in-law" (i.e. step-son) Thomas Rose on 8 Dec 1674 (Stonington Deeds, 2:62 [FHL #005593]). Since Thomas is a proved son of Joanna Fleming, it is clear that Robert Fleming married the widow Joanna Rose.
MAR #3: No mar rec found. On 15 Sep 1687 Joanna "Olmstead" acknowledged deeds she made as Joanna Fleming to her children Thomas and Mary Rose, dated 18 Jul 1681, showing that she married third to an Olmstead between 1681 and 1687 (Stonington Deeds, 2:61, 62 [FHL #005593]). The given name of this husband has not been determined.
DEATH: No death rec found. Joanna Olmstead of Preston was a party to a law suit on 20 Sep 1698 (cited above). No further rec.
