His parents' names were John and Sarah (Everett) Fleming. the Flemings are of Irish descent. James received but little education, and at nineteen years of age began life as a pilot ofn a lumber raft, running on the Allegheny and Ohio rivers. In 1837 he made a trip as far as New Orleans. He was married December 27, 1838, to Miss Susan, daughter of Henry and Betsy (Gumbert) Pence. She was born March 31, 1820. Seven children blessed their union, namely: John, born March 23, 1840, Nancy J. November 6, 1841, died December 7, 1845; Elizabeth, December 14, 1842, died December 1, 1845; Milton, April 6, 1846, Eliza A (Mrs. F. Dunn) June 19, 1847; Sarah E., February 27, 1849, died February 2, 1890. Mr. Fleming worked at carpenter work, in a distillery and at farming until 1848, when he removed to Jefferson county, Pa., and bought a farm and engaged in lumbering. In 1854, he made a trip to Pepin and decided to move thither with his family. The following year he loaded his goods and family into a wagon and started to drive to Wisconsin. One horse became lame and he then shipped his outfit on a steamboat from Pittsburgh, paying all his ready money for their fare to Dubuque, Iowa. On the route he was seized with cholera and they were unable to proceed by team. Riding the horses out a few miles they were met and befriended by a farmer who kindly entertained the family, gave Mr. Fleming medicine, which soon caused him to recover, and advanced a small sum of money. The balance of his wagon having arrived in the meantime, the proceeds of which the journey was continued to Guttenburg, Iowa. Here he took passage by steamer to Read's Landing, Minn., agreeing to leave the goods as security for a portion of their fare, which was advanced by a merchant at Read's on their arriveal, who took security on the goods. Crossing to Pepin, Mr. Fleming began teaming, redeemed his goods, and the following year, 1856, made a claim on section seventeen, township twenty-three, range fourteen, built a log house, and continued to make improvements until his death. Mr. Fleming was a member of the Protestant Methodist church, and an active, enterprising man, respected by all who knew him.

He was of Irish descent, his parents being John and Sarah (Everett) Fleming. After acquiring a limited education, James Fleming, at 19 years of age, began life as a pilot of a lumber raft running on the Allegheny and Ohio rivers. In 1837, he made a trip as far as New Orleans. He was married December 27, 1838 to Susan, daughter of Henry and Betsy (Gumbert) pence. She was born March 31, 1820.

Mr. Fleming worked as a carpenter, as an employee in a distillery, and at farming until 1848, when he removed to Jefferson County, PA., where he bought a farm and also engaged in lumbering. In 1854, he made a trip to Pepin and decided to locate here with his family. The following year he loaded his goods and family into a wagon and started to drive to Wisconsin. One horse became lame, and he then shipped his outfit on a steamboat form Pittsburgh, paying all his ready money for their fare to Dubuque, Iowa. On the route, he was seized with cholera and landed penniless at Davenport. A part of the wagon had been miscarried, so they were unable to proceed by team.

From 1868 until his departure for the U.S., Richard ran the Lannock Mill in Weston, North Hertfordshire, that had been built by his father in 1860. This five-storey tower windmill ground corn and had four pairs of millstones. The mill tower still stands but without its wind engine or any of its other machinery. It was last used as a production mill in the 1920s. In 1882, Richard sold the mill to Thomas Sanderson.

He and his family arrived in the U.S. in New York City on 20 February 1882 aboard the SS City of Montreal. The family traveled in a cabin, not in steerage. The family consisted of: Richard Christy, 39, Sarah Christy, 36, Susan Christy, 74, Susan Christy, 16, Lottie Christy, 15, Charles Christy, 14, Glyn Christy, 12, Florence Christy, 11, Alma Christy, 10, Ernest Christy, 9, Eleanor Christy, 8, Bernard Christy, 6, Ethel Christy, 4, and George Christy, 2.

In the 1885 Minnesota census, the Christys (indexed as Christa) were living in Minneapolis. Richard’s mother Sara, age 76, is living with them.

In the 1895 Minnesota census, he and his family were living in Worthington, Minnesota, where he was a baker. Still at home with him and Emma were Ernest, 20, Bernard, 16, Ethel, 14, and George, 13.

In the 1900 census, he was a salesman living in Minneapolis with his wife, son, and granddaughter. The household consisted of Richard, Emma, Bernard B., and granddaughter Fannie Simpson born in April of 1892 in Minnesota with an Irish father.
