Thomas Zebulon Vance Fleming was the last child of Armantia Barber and Robert E. Fleming. Robert E. died of injuries received in the Civil War a few months before Tom turned three years old. Armantia remarried James Courtney, and Tom Fleming is listed in the 1870 Caldwell County Census as "stepson".

He first married Margaret Amanda Setzer, who died of typhoid fever after bearing him eight children. He then married Annie Elizabeth Dale, who bore him seven more children.

Tom Fleming was working in Longview when he stepped out in front of a train on the way home from work and was killed instantly. He was hard-of-hearing and possibly tired from work as well; it is believed he did not hear the train.
