Fleming was born in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland to Andrew and Elizabeth Fleming. In 1846, at the age of 18, he emigrated with his older brother David to Ontario (then the western half of the British province of United Canada, at that time called Canada West). Their route took them through many cities of the Canadian colonies, Quebec City, Montreal, and Kingston, Ontario, before settling in Peterborough, Ontario with their cousins in 1847.
