--- "Sketches of Hampshire" by John Duthy, 1839, page 385-6:
The son and heir, sir Thomas Fleming, who had been knighted by James I. at Newmarket, February 27, 1608, succeeded, on his father's death, to the estates at Stoneham and elsewhere. He married Margaret, daughter of Edward Lord Gorges, and lineal descendant of the celebrated Thomas Mowbray, earl of Nottingham, who, in the year 1397, was created duke of Norfolk by Richard II. and banished by that king in the year 1401, on the memorable occasion of his quarrel with the duke of Hereford. By this lady sir Thomas had one son and one daughter. During the civil wars, and the Flemings espoused the cause of their family connections, and became active paliamentarians.
. . . The only son of the second sir Thomas, Edward Fleming, esq. succeeded his father on his death, in the year 1639; and, in his turn, was followed by his son Edward, who was sheriff of this county in the year 1689, and his grandson William Fleming, esq; on whose death, unmarried, in the year 1737, the direct male line of Stoneham Flemings became extinct.
. . . The daughter of the second sir Thos. Fleming, Katherine, married Daniel Eliot, esq. of Port Eliot, who was descended from Walter Gifford, earl of Bucks, and by him had an only daughter and heiress, Katherine, who became the wife of the well-known antiquary Browne Willis, LL.D. This gentleman was the eldest son of Thomas Willis, esq. of Bletchley, Bucks, and the grandson of Thomas Willis, M.D. who is celebrated as having been the most noted physician of his time.
