SOURCES: Have emails from  'Karen' whose email is CeeCee, and from Libby Anderson, and from 'Fran'.  All agree that the line of our ancestor, Harry or Henry Gaines is --  

            Sir John Fleming or Sir Thomas Fleming

                                    |   William Fleming    

                                                  |  Robert Fleming
