I think the name Jackson in your Fleming family starts here:
Henry FLEMING (Yeoman of Ennerdale) marriage 15 Sep 1720 in Whitehaven to
Catherine JACKSONAmongst their offspring was a son named
Robert FLEMING baptised in Ennerdale on 9 Sep 1726.
That
Robert FLEMING b. 1726 (Yeoman of Whins farm Ennerdale) married
Eleanor WILLIAMSON on 22 Sept 1750 in Ennerdale.

Jackson FLEMING b. 1752 married Sarah SAUL in 1776
( I think this is your direct line) Jane FLEMING b. 1754
Sarah FLEMING b. 1756
Mary FLEMING b. 1759
Nicholas FLEMING b. 1761 [ farmer in St. Bees - married Elizabeth / Betty, and they are the parents of Robert Fleming b. 1790 who married Mary Moore and lived in St Bees]
Robert FLEMING b. 1764
There is possibly a second marriage for Robert FLEMING in 1779 Dean to Mary IRVING 2 more children: Martha 1784 and Jonas 1779.
Jackson FLEMING b. 1752 married 10 Nov 1776 to
Sarah SAULE (banns read in Dean and Lamplugh)
Jackson was from Dean, a husbandman; Sarah was a spinster from Lamplugh (bapt 1754)

Eleanor Fleming b.1777 [ possibly married Peter Hannah 1800]
Joseph Fleming b.1779 [ possibly married Jane Walton 1820 in Durham]
Your Robert Fleming - missing baptism fits here? [married Mary Stabler 1812] Henry Fleming b.1784 [ possibly married Mary Watson 1807]
Mary Fleming b.1788 [ possibly married Joseph Simpson in 1814]
Jane Fleming b.1790 [ possibly married William Telford in 1811]
Hannah Fleming b.1793 [ possibly married John Atkinson 1813]
I suspect (but cannot prove) that your Robert belongs to this family, and was born about 1782 . There are gaps in the baptisms which makes me think he was born before (or perhaps after) Henry. Jackson named his first daughter after his mother Eleanor.
The first son Joseph was named after Sarah Sauls father.
It would follow that the next son would be named Robert after Jacksons father.Additional info:Jackson Fleming land tax 1798 for Parish of Ullock

Problems - We are missing a baptism for your Robert Fleming born about 1782, but there appear to be gaps in the records.
- The 1851 census has his place of birth as Westray and I have no idea where that is in Cumberland. Was it the name of a house or farm - was it Westray farm near Cockermouth? Dont know.
- Mostly I have seen only transcriptions of records very frustrating. Viewing original records might yield more information / detail which would be useful.
