"Strength of Character"

As a disciplined woman, Margaret Seton Fleming, had a working knowledge of trade, business, politics and numerous domestic subjects. In 1837, she and her new husband, Lewis Fleming, moved to Hibernia Plantation. Lewis' father had received Fleming Island in 1790 through a land grant from the king of Spain. Later, Margaret would live to see the destruction of the plantation twice - but both times she and Lewis rebuilt and carried on!

From the moment she arrived at Hibernia as a proud 24 year old, newly married woman, Margaret dreamed of building a chapel on the grounds. Construction of the church in the Carpenter Gothic style began in 1875. Unfortunately, Margaret died only months before its completion and her funeral was the first service held in the building.

Today, Fleming Island has again been reborn. It is one of the fastest growing areas in Clay County. Among the many changes seen on Fleming Island, one of the most notable has been the number of new businesses, including nationally known department stores, restaurants and specialty shops, that have opened.
