The 1860 US Census lists Mr Fleming as being 28 years old in 1860 and living in Columbia, his job is listed as Engineer. The combined property value of the two families in the household was a little over $40,000.

Will,
Thank you very much for this information about David Fleming. Wow his household value was $40,000+...that was a good bit in 1860.
I have also discovered that David Fleming was Wounded in Action at Battery Wagner in August 1863. At that time he commanded Co. H, with rank of Captain, of the 1st SC Artillery Regiment.
