John Fleming (Southampton MP)
John Fleming (1743 – 28 February 1802)[1] was a British Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1774 and 1790.[2]
He was elected at the 1774 general election as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Southampton. At the 1780 general election he was defeated by his fellow-Tory Hans Sloane, who won the seat with 249 votes to Fleming's 237. Fleming was re-elected unopposed in 1784, and held the seat until the 1790 general election which he did not contest.[3]
