      I do certify, that Mrs Mary Ellis and Mrs Susanna Lewis, named in the within power of Attorney, were Mary & Susanna Fleming and the only surviving sisters of the within named John Fleming and coheiresses of their uncle Thomas Fleming and I have known those two ladees for many years and know them to be the persons which they represent themselves to be. And I do moreover certify that I am well acquainted with the within named Thomas and John Fleming for many years, and that they were the officers they are stated to be in this power of Attorney, and that Thomas Fleming died a natural death in the service of his Country, & that John Fleming was killed at the Battle of Princeton [3 Jan 1777], and that all the facts related in the said power of attorney are true Given from under my hand in the city of Richmond this eighth day of October 1807 [signed] Wm. Fleming [William Fleming] Henrico County &c/ The above Certificate Sworn to before me in due form agreeable to law this 8 Oc?r 1807 Dan L Hylton

      I was well acquainted with Colonel Thomas Fleming of the 9 Virginia Regiment on Continental th establishment, and with Captain John Fleming (I think) of the 5 Regiment of the same line. I well th recollect that Colonel Fleming died in service, but at what time, I do not at this late day remember. Captain John Fleming was killed at the Battle of Princeton, which happened the begining of the year 1777, as well as I can recollect ? it is said that he was entitled, or was promoted, before his death, but of this fact, I had no Certain information. I have always understood, and verily believe, that both these Gentlemen died without ever having been married. Given under my hand at Richmond this 8 day of October 1807. th James Wood formerly B. Gen?l. Continental Army. NOTE: A power of attorney states that Mary Ellis was the wife of John Ellis and formerly the widow of Worner Lewis, and that Susanna Lewis was the widow of Adison Lewis.

      Celebrated in poetry as a Southern belle.

      Robertson credits her with a son and a daughter, at least, by her 1st husband, Warner Lewis.

      She left a will, bequeathing the residue to her niece, Susan Byrd, the eventual sole heiress of the family.
