An Exeter man died early Tuesday after apparently being shocked by the power cord of a grain auger, according to Fillmore County Sheriff William Burgess.
Investigators believe Jay Luzum, 45, was using a grain auger to transfer grain from a bin into a truck when the auger malfunctioned. Luzum tried to unplug the auger's power cord and was shocked, Burgess said in a release.
The incident happened at about 6:30 a.m. on a farm near Milligan, about six miles south of Exeter in eastern Fillmore County.

Mary Lyon was born February 28, 1797 on a remote New England farm. The Lyon family lived in Buckland, a town in the hills of western Massachusetts.
In 1814, townspeople offered Mary Lyon her first teaching job at a summer school in Shelburne Falls, a town next to Buckland. She was 17 years old. At the time, teachers needed no formal training--young Mary Lyon's reputation as an excellent student years earlier was enough of a qualification. Female teachers were especially in demand due to a growth in population and large numbers of men moving west in search of better opportunities.
The job paid 75 cents a week, far less than the $10 to $12 a month a man received to teach the winter term. As was the custom of the day, Lyon "boarded around" in her students' homes--an arrangement that meant moving as often as every five days. For the inexperienced Mary Lyon, maintaining discipline in the crowded one-room schoolhouse and teaching the "3 Rs" to pupils, ages four to ten, were difficult tasks.
Teaching fired Lyon's desire to continue her own education, a goal not easy to achieve in the early 19th century for an intelligent young woman with little money. Although private female academies, often called seminaries, were springing up in New England, women of modest means, like Mary Lyon, could not afford their fees. Moreover, the curriculums, which included "lady-like" skills like drawing and needlework, were far less challenging than at male schools where students studied subjects like geometry, science, and Latin.
Mary Lyon alternated time spent in classrooms and at lectures--sometimes traveling three days by carriage to enroll at a school--with teaching and running a school. Against the advice of her famly, Lyon paid for her education by cashing in a small inheritance from her father. Ever frugal and resourceful, she saved a portion of her small salary and traded coverlets and blankets she had woven for room and board.
Mary Lyon's reputation as a gifted teacher spread far beyond the Buckland schoolhouse. Over the next 20 years, she taught at schools in western and eastern Massachusetts, and in southern New Hampshire. She became an authority on the education of women. These were the years when Mary Lyon developed her educational philosophy and gained experience in managing a school. Inspired by her own struggles to obtain an education, she worked hard to expand academic opportunities for young women and to prepare them to become teachers, one of the few professions open to women.
The year, 1834, was a turning point for Mary Lyon. She decided to leave Ipswich Female Seminary, where she was assistant principal, and focus all of her time and efforts on founding an institution of higher education for women. For the next three years, she crusaded tirelessly for funds and support. She wrote circulars and ads announcing the plan for the school, raised money, persuaded prominent men to back her enterprise, developed a curriculum, visited schools and talked to educators as far away as Detroit, chose the school's location, supervised the design and construction of a building, brought equipment, hired teachers, and selected students. She endured ridicule from those who felt her ambitious undertaking would be "wasted" on women. Her constant travels often left her in a state of exhaustion. Yet, Mary Lyon never doubted her belief that women deserved to have the same opportunities for higher education as their brothers.
Mary Lyon's innovative goals for Mount Holyoke:
A curriculum equivalent to those at men's colleges.
A minimum entrance age of 17.
Low tuition to make education affordable to students from modest backgrounds. Mount Holyoke's was $60 a year.
Rigorous entrance examinations to make sure students were adequately prepared.
Permanence. A lack of funds forced many 19th-century female seminaries to close after a few years. A good number were proprietary, or owned by an individual, eager to make a profit. Some schools were so dependent upon the founder's popularity, that the institution collapsed after his or her death.
Domestic work by students to keep operating expenses, and therefore, tuition, low.
Independence. Mary Lyon sought no affiliations with a religious denomination or wealthy sponsor. Instead, she formed a Board of Trustees, a group of dedicated male supporters who donated their time to help Mount Holyoke thrive and succeed.
A wide base of financial support. It was important to Mary Lyon that people from backgrounds like her own would feel that Mount Holyoke was a school for their daughters. She collected donations ranging from six cents to $1,000, as well as quilts and bedding from women's sewing circles and necessary items like stoves and furniture from trustees.
The success of Mount Holyoke opened the doors of higher education for women. Mary Lyon proved that women were as intellectually capable as men, and that an institution for women offering a college curriculum could survive financially. Her impact on education was felt across the United States and in distant corners of the world. Graduates of Mount Holyoke Female Seminary carried Mary Lyon's ideals and teaching methods into schools which they founded or taught at, in places like Albert Lea, Minnesota and Marion, Alabama; Bitlis, Turkey and Honolulu, Hawaii; Umzumbe, South Africa and the territory of the Cherokee Nation; Kobe, Japan and Clinton, New York. One founded the first public school in Oklahoma; classes were held in a tent. Through the work of Mount Holyoke's alumnae teachers, the quality of elementary and high school education improved nationwide; the presence of well-educated female teachers in the classroom offered role models for bright and aspiring girls and young women. Mount Holyoke provided the inspiration, the model, and often the leadership, for the many women's colleges that followed. A few examples: Wellesley College was founded by a Mount Holyoke trustee, Henry Durant, and its first president was an 1853 Mount Holyoke alumna, Ada Howard. Another trustee, John Greene, was instrumental in founding Smith College. Susan Tolman Mills, class of 1845, and her husband founded Mills College in California.
When they gathered in the Seminary building in 1837, neither Mary Lyon nor her students nor teachers could have envisioned that 160 years later Mount Holyoke would enroll nearly 2,000 women from 49 states and 74 countries, boast an 800-acre campus containing 40 buildings, and offer nearly 1,000 courses and 38 different majors. The idea that more women than men are now enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities would have seemed improbable. Today, Mount Holyoke College remains in the forefront of higher education for women.
Colonel James Duke Lyons Jr. (Retired) passed away on Oct. 30, 2022. He was born to James Duke Lyons and Ima Mason Lyons on October 13, 1940.
He married Roberta Louis (Womble) Lyons in 1961 and they made a home and life together wherever the USAF took them. Together in retirement they made their home in San Augustine in Duke's family home, the Mason Farm, before he moved to Houston in 2021. Together they raised 2 children, Kimberly Lyons-Barry (John Barry), James Gregory Lyons (Allison Green Lyons). He was known as Big Daddy to his surviving 4 grandchildren Samantha Louise Barry (Ryan Dermek), Matthew James Barry, Sarah Kate Lyons and Jacob Abner Lyons.
Colonel James Duke graduated from French High School, Beaumont, Texas in 1959 and received a degree from Texas Tech University in 1964.
Colonel James Duke worked at United States Air Force until he retired in 1993 and was
passionate about affecting the most positive change in people.
He served his country with dignity and honor. He held several prestigious posts during his
decorated career with the air force. He was the Detachment Commander at Supreme
Headquarters Allied Power Europe, CBPO Chief Patch Barracks Stuttgart Germany, The
Pentagon Office of the Secretary of Defense, Director of Assignments and 3rd Space Support Wing Vice Wing Commander at Peterson AFB, Chief of Assignments at Randolph AFB AFMPC. He was respected and loved by his armed forces family as he dedicated his life and passion to the Air Force for nearly 30 years.
Upon retiring from the Air Force in 1993 he moved to Houston Texas and began a new career at MD Anderson in the personnel department. He was able to apply his enormous skill set in diplomacy and policy to the work he did for the hospital. His final career move was a position that brought him enormous pleasure. He moved back to his family home in San Augustine, Texas and became the city manager, a role he loved and was extremely passionate about. He enjoyed being involved in the community and making San Augustine a beautiful town to live. He gave of himself tirelessly to improve the standard of living and infrastructure and this was reflected in every project he undertook for the City of San Augustine. He was also a committee member in the development of the El Camino.
In addition to his professional and person achievements his greatest pleasure was his family outside of golf and the Astros. He coached T-Ball, soccer and was a scout leader. He was proud of the lives his two children have built for themselves, Kimberly in Australia and Greg in Houston. He recently travelled to Melbourne Australia to witness his first grandchild getting married. It was a joyous and happy occasion.

She was shown as born ca 1821 in Logan County, to James MABIN and W M MABIN, and her name at death was Margaret MABIN. She was listed as Mulatto, and her date of death was shown as 29 Apr 1857. The actual image of the death record, however, shows Marggaret Mabin as White, age 36, Female, Occupation Housewifery maid DOD April 29, with her cause of death be Inf???tion of brain.
FindAGrave instead lists her parents as John MABEN and Nancy HENDERSON Maben, who also have memorials on that website.

Her marriage license to Joe Kamm shows her to be the daughter of Peter Machalleck and Anna Fesky?. Perhaps she was Peter's daughter and Amelia Jesse's step-daughter?

His final benefit payments, according to the SSDI were in Vero Beach, Florida. However, the Obituary Daily Times shows that he died in St. Joseph, Michigan, referencing both the Treasure Coast Palm news in Florida, and the PJ paper in Florida.
"Eddie", of Zavalla, passed away at his residence.
Born to Vera (Hnatek) and Tom Lewis Machann he had resided in Zavalla for the past thirty years.
He served in the US Navy during World War II, and retired from Ameripol Synpol in Port Neches.

The daughter of Donald H MACKINTOSH and Barbara BAYLES of Whitman, Nebraska. She earned her B.S. from the University of Nebraska in Home Economics Education. She first taught at Palisades and Hayes Center, Nebraska, moving to a position in Milligan in 1979. (Milligan, p 351-352). In April 1987 she was diagnosed with a brain tumor in Rochester, Minnesota. She continued teaching in the Milligan Public School until the Spring of 1990. She passed away in Lincoln, Nebraska at the age of 34 years on July 9, 1990. She is buried at the Bohemian National Cemetery south of Milligan.......As of 2008, her parents lived in Holton, Kansas (Milligan Update, 1988-2008, p. 203).
Abraham Macklemore (was) settled on the banks of the Roanoke River, just across the Virginia-North Carolina line following its establishment by the Byrd Commission in 1728. (James L. McLemore, III, p 36). He appeared to have married first the daughter of Abraham EVANS, who owned land near Richard WASHINGTON and who devised land to Abraham Macklemore, presumably his son-in-law. However, EVANS' daughter apparently died childless not too long after her father, leaving Macklemore disinherited of his 70 acre devise, but free to marry, about 1720, his second wife Mary YOUNG. (James L. McLemore, III pp. 37 - 38).
There are some deed records in Bertie County, North Carolina (from which Northampton County was formed in 1741) for Abraham. This is further evidence that their (Abraham and James) earlier deed records may have been in Prince George and thus may not have survived. Besides all of James' lands, Abraham may have already owned some of his lands as well (perhaps acquired while it was still part of Virginia) by the time the first North Carolina deed involving him was recorded. This deed, dated August 11, 1730, was from Abraham Macklemore to William Person for two acres on Stonehouse (or Beaver Dam) Creek in Northwest Parish of Bertie Precinct (Bertie Deed Book C, p 354). This land was probably cut from land he already owned, but he shortly thereafter acquired a sizeable tract of 625 acres from Barnebee MACKINNE, a former Isle of Wight County, Virginia resident. This plantation was located in Northwest Parish of Bertie County (where both men claimed residence), on the North side of the old Morratock River, on the old COUNTRY (not county) line, which formed the northern boundary line of the property. This was obviously a reference to the old colonial boundry before the 1728 survey moved it northward. Five years later, he purchased 100 acres on "Pigeons Ruste Creek" on Morratock River, at "old country line", from Anthony GANT of Edgecombe, by deed dated May 8, 1734 (Bertie Deed Book D, p, 155). (James L. McLemore, III, pp 40-41).
Abraham's Will was signed 4 Jan 1735 and lists three children Atkins, Young and William in addition to his wife Mary. Original Will on file in NC State Archives.
Dated 4 Jan 1735, Nov Ct 1736
"... being weak in body ..."
Son Atkin macklemore - Negro Judey, to possess said Negro at the age of twenty-one and not before. Sons Young Macklemore and William - Negro Joan, but if either of my two youngest sons dies before the age of twenty-one the other will inherit his share. Son Atkin - 200 acres belonging to my upper plantation. Son Young - my manner plantation after my wife's decease. Rest of estate to my wife (unnamed).
Ex. Wife
Wit: William Gillim, William Clanton, Joseph Brady
(Probate indicates Mary Macklemore was the executrix named in the will).
(Extract courtesy of Mark Freeman)
The following information about Abraham was posted to the McLemore GenForum by Gayle Zent in January, 1999:
The second son was Abraham, his will was written in 1736, 3 yrs after his brother's will was written. He left 200 acres of upper plantation , a manor plantation, helped lay out Warren Co NC & became a wealthy landowner. We have records in 1778 that enters 500 & then 200 acres in Biredie Co to Abraham. He was a commisioner in the county of Warrenton in 1779 & he had a gun factory during the Revolutionary War.
And this was posted at http://www.unsolvedancestry.com/awards.asp:
Abraham could have been married to an Evans, daughter of Abraham Evans and Elizabeth Lucas before 1719. "Abraham Evans wrote his will in 1708, died (and his will was probated) in 1712, in which he willed 70 acres to Abraham Macklemore, and the heirs of his body (meaning on condition that he have children [implied by his wife, Evans' daughter]). Abraham had no children by her, so he lost the land, and instead moved to NC with his brother, and either after or more likely before doing so he married as his second wife Mary Young, mother of his three sons." - Mary Young (Abraham's wife) may be related to an earlier Mary (Cary) Young, daughter of John Cary of Surry Co. VA.
(Medical):Two descendants of Abraham, both men still bearing the McLemore surname, participated in the MORRISON DNA Study.
http://www.geneticcousins.com/morrison/
The main purpose of this study was to prove that the immigrant founders of this family in America, James Macklemore and Abraham Macklemore, were brothers. If brothers, then the y-DNA of the direct male descendants of both men would match. However, Instead of proving that all McLemore men? at least those that can trace their ancestry back to an early southern McLemore forebearer---share the same DNA, it appears that we have AT LEAST two distinct yDNA groups, with three more potential distinct yDNA McLemore lines. The first group of McLemore DNA is the largest, with ten members, in the R1b1a2 haplogroup. Two of the nine can trace their lines back to Abraham Macklemore, the husband of Mary Young and probable brother of James Macklemore. Another member (m268) can trace himself back to Moses McLemore b. ca. 1738 who is thought to be a son of Wright McLemore, grandson of William Macklemore, and great-grandson of immigrant James McLemore, thought to be the brother of Abraham. If both these members are correct in their paper trails, and if Amos can be indeed be proven to be a great-grandson of James Macklemore, then the assumption that James and Abraham have a common paternal ancestor is likely correct as descendants of both men share the same yDNA. The R1b1 DNA haplogroup, is the most common in Western Europe.
He was probably named for his Uncle, Charles GILLIAM of Prince George County. (James L. McLemore, III, p 40)
Charles inhertied from his father the westernmost or upstream portion of the island (with some land on the south shore). This may have destined him for a life as a frontiersman. In 1730 he and his brother John (in Carolina for a visit?) witnessed a deed in Bertie Precinct, and in 1746 he is shown in Brunswick County, Virginia, deed as a Granville County Carolinia. There are no other references that can be clearly identified as referring to this Charles, and this may further then to indicate he was a frontiersman. A trader named Charles McLemore was known to have been living among the Cherokee Indians between 1754 and 1762, where he often served the colonial authorities as an interpreter. This may have well been our Charles, the son of James and Fortune. If so, then the only known children of this Charles would be the half Cherokee "Scotch Chiefs", John and Robert (Robin) McLemore for whom McLemore's Cove, Tennessee is named. (James L. McLemore, III, p 46).
Various internet sources, none of which I know to be proven, show that Charles married Quatsey Wolf. It is further shown, again unverfied, that son Robin married So-Kinney Smith.
Robert McLemore Butler (now deceased) noted that Sally McLemore b. 1779 and Peggy McLemore b. 1777 were daughters of Robert (Robin) McLemore, according to New Hanover County, NC records.
A biblical name. He was probably named for a McLemore Uncle. (James L. McLemore, III, p 40).
He was devised, under his father's Will, 80 acres on Peahill Creek which also fell in Northhampton County north of Roanoke. He seems to have remained there for some time. Two references can be found relating to him in July 1746. However, within about eight years, he is found serving in the Granville County Militia across the Roanoke. His son, Ephraim Jr, was only about 16, and hence probably too young to serve. He also witnessed the sale of land in Granville County in 1762, and bought two tracts himself, one of 250 acres and one of 110 acres (James L. McLemore, III, pp. 46, 47).
During the same period of time that Ephraim Jr was living in Surry County (1784-1787), an Ephraim McLemore lived in Northampton County with 10 members of his family. This likely was the elder Ephraim, still alive and living in his old homeplace, having reached the advanced age of between 70 and 75. If so, this is the last reference that can be ascribed to him. He left no will. There is also the less likely possibility that this was Ephraim Jr, living in Northampton, but operating his holding as far west a Surry County. (James L. McLemore, III, p 48).
Both James and (brother?) Abraham Macklemore settled on the banks of the Roanoke River, just across the Virginia-North Carolina line following its establishment by the Byrd Commission in 1728. Just what had the Macklemores been doing, just where they had been located, during the period from Mun. Macklemore's importation in 1681 to the 1732 repatent of the James Macklemore patent following his removal to North Carolina, has long been a matter of inquiry and dispute. Without further record, we may never know for sure. (James L. McLemore, III, p 36). It is assumed that James and Abraham were immigrants, but it is possible they were born on U.S. soil to an unknown progenitor, possibly even Mun. Maklemore.
Mun. Macklemore is the earliest recorded family member in the Americas. His relationship to James and Abraham is unknown. Although it has been speculated he might be the father of James Macklemore he is more likely an uncle or cousin, based on their projected ages.
James began having his children while still in Virginia. It is probable that all six (known) children were born prior to James' 1714 patent adjoining Richard Washington. (James L. McLemore, III, p 40).

Most of James' children moved along the edge of the frontier in north central North Carolina in the early to mid 18th century, and their families are not as easily traced. Some speculation is therefore involved in the following outline of their activities. A careful review of the last will and testament of James Macklemore can aid the reader in understanding the early subsequent history of his sons. As we shall see shortly, the oldest two boys, William and John, had grown to manhood while the family lived in Virginia, and remained there to start families.
William, either due to being the oldest son or stronger ties to his father, was left land by his father. John, already firmly established with land of his own--and being a younger son---was left money instead. James left most of his land to be divided among his three younger sons, and by devising oldest son William with them as well, he preordained that the descendants of the younger three, plus descendants of William, would be Carolinians (at least initially), and that John's posterity would comprise the Virginia branch of the family. (James McLemore, III, p 46).
Inherited land from his father on Peahill Creek on the north side of the Roanoke River, in what would become Northhampton County. He also got some land on the island between his brothers William and Charles (James L. McLemore, III, p 46). Based on the migration patterns of his children, he is probably the ancestor of the Georgia and Alabama McLemore families. (James L. McLemore, III, p 50).
James Jr. began his independent productive life on the lands devised him by his father on Peahill Creek. As James MACLIMER, he witnessed a deed from Walther LASHLEY of Viriginia to (his sons?) Patrick and William LASHLEY dated August 17, 1737, and recorded in Bertie County. The following year, 1738, he married Nancy JONES of the same county. He witnessed deeds in Bertie County (as James MACKLIMORE in 1740, and after Northampton County was formed in 1741, in that county as well (in 1751 and 1753), indicating that he was still living on Peahill Creek. The last of these was the deed from Atkins MACLAMORE to his brother Young.
On May 9, 1755, James MACLAMORE was granted a patent for 612 acres in Northampton County, North Carolina, and within a few days conveyed 340 acres of this tract, located on Lizzard Creek at Spring Branch, to Jesse GILLIAM (May 20, 1755). He held onto the rest until 1758, when he conveyed 172 acres , located on "Jesse Gillham's Spring" to Marquess RAWLINGS, a Brunswick County, Virginia tailor. (Northhampton Deed Book 2, p. 445). By computation, this left him with about 100 acres of patented land, plus his homeplace inheritied from his father. However, this was the last reference to him in Northampton County.
He may have taken an oath in Granville County in 1770.
(James L. McLemore, III, pp 48, 49).
Robert McLemore Butler cites the following from "North Carolina Revolutionary Soldiers, Sailors, and Patriots & Descendants" Vol II:
James McLemore (R-PAT-NC) c 1718-1800 m. Nancy Jones
Grew to manhood in Virginia, and was left cash, not land, under his fathers will. His family remained in Virginia. (James L. McLemore, III, p 46).
Probably named for Fortune's father....He was apparently born about 1698 to 1700, but could have been born as much as three or four years earlier. Unlike his siblings, however, he remained where he was born, in Albemarle Parish of Surry County (later Sussex County), Virginia, ending his days only a few miles southwest of the location of his father's abandoned 1714 land patent. He did not follow his parents and their other children into North Carolina, although it appears he may have acquired some property or other interests in South Carolina later in his life. Accordingly, John is known as the founder of the Virginia family, though one son also started a South Carolina line, and several grandsons also migrated southward and westward into North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama to start lines of their own. (James L. McLemore, III, p 54).
A John MACKMORE is referenced on a November 13, 1713 patent issued by George WYCHE, but it is not known if this is our John Macklemore. The first certain reference to our John Macklemore was a patent issued to him on New Year's Eve, 1725 (March 24, 1725/6). This was for 150 acres of new land astride the county line between waht was then Surry and Isle of Wight Counties, on the south side of Nottoway River, on the north side of Three Creeks, on the east side of "the Great Ready Branch" (Patent Book 12, p. 441). He paid fifteen shillings for this land....he would have been required to be at least twenty-one....(therefore) would have been born not later than March 1704/5 (James L. McLemore, III, pp. 54-55).
In addition to the 1725 patent described above, he witnessed a deed in 1730 in Bertie County, North Carolina, along with his brother Charles, apparently while on a visit to his family there. On May 21, 1746, the Surry County Court entered an order that he be paid 150 pounds of tobacco as a witness fee for appearing in a matter then before the court (Surry County Order Book, 1744-1749, p. 174). (James L. McLemore, III, p. 56).
Will of John MacLemore
(As transcribed by Mark Freeman)
Will Book B, p. 108. "In The name of God Amen. I John Macklemore of Nottoway Parish in the County of Southhampton being of sound sense & memory do make this writing my last will & testament in form & manner following.
Imprimis I give & bequeth to my son John Macklemore one pound current money.
Item: I give & bequeath to my son Burrell Macklemore one pound current money.
Item: I give & bequeath to my son Joel Macklemore the land & plantation I now live on containing two hundred and fifty acres be the same more or less, I say I give the said land to my said son Joell & to his heirs forever.
Item I give to my Daughter Sarah Macklemore one pound current money.
Item I give and bequeath to my Daughter Lydia Macklemore one feather bed & furniture, one cow & calf & one sow & piggs.
Item I give the use of the following articles to my loving wife during her natural life and at her decease to my son Joell (that is to say) one feather bed & furniture, two cows & calves, and one sow & piggs, and one bay horse.
Item I give and bequeath to my son Joell Macklemore, after my debts & funeral charges be paid, the rest and remainder of my estate of all kinds whatsoever and I do constitute & appoint my son Joell my sole executor of this my last will & testament as witness by hand this 17th day of March 1758.
Witness: Edmund Pate, Abraham Wiggins, Joshua Nicholson, Jr.. In a Court held for Sussex County the 19th day of February 1767 the last Will & Testament of John Macklemore decd. was presented into Court by Faithy widow & relic of the said John and the said Faithy declared that she would not accept receive or take the lagacy or legacies to her given or bequeath'd by the said Will or any part thereof & did renounce all benefit & advantage which she might claim by the said Will which declaration on her motion is recorded. And thereupon on the motion of the said Faithy (Joell Macklemore the Executor in the said Will named being out of the Country) who made oath as the law directs and the said Will being proved by the oaths of Abraham Wiggins & Joshua Nicholson, Jr., two of the witnesses thereto & ordered to be recorded. Certificate is granted her for obtaining letters of administration of the Estate of the said Jo. Macklemore with the will annexed, giving security whereupon she with Joshua Nicholson & Charles Gilliam her securities entered into and acknowledged their bond for her due administration of the said estate. Exd. Teste: A. Claiborne, CSC.
John Macklemore made his mark, "J", on the will.
Faith Macklemore filed the household inventory, which consisted mostly of household furniture, etc. (Sussex Will Book B, p. 113). She also filed her accounting signed by her "Faithy V Macklemore" and recorded September 15, 1768 (Sussex Will Book B, p. 217). In it she showed a distribution of one pound current money to each of John's two older sons, John Jr. and Burrell, and also a similiar distribution to Thomas Clifton, the neighbor [and brother-in-law] of John Jr. (James L. McLemore, III, p. 58). John Macklemore Sr. may have also died owning property in South Carolina, as his nephew Richard McLamore was appointed on December 23, 1767 as administrator of the estate of John McLamore in that province, and following Richard's death in 1771, John's son Joel took over in his place. Indeed, when John's will was admitted to probate in Sussex County, Virginia, his widow Faithy had to qualify as administrator, since Joel, the named Executor, was "out of the country" (outside Virginia) at the time, and hence was probably in South Carolina helping to take care of matters there.
In an 1986 letter to Rudy Leverett, Jim McLemore (the author) indicates that Simon TURNER was a witness to the will of John McLemore, Sr.
Two descendants of John and Faith son Burwell, and one descendant of their son Joel, have tested their yDNA and are matches. They are all members of the E1b1 Haplogroup, which is rare in Western Europe.
Edwin Holcombe indicates this branch of the McLemore family most closely match a number of members of a Hooper family.
The Scotch had a rather strict custom for naming their children; the oldest son was generally named for the father's father. On this basis, James Macklemore's father would have been named William, and this is supported by the fact that William is the only name duplicated by Abraham in naming his own sons. (James L. McLemore, III, p 39).
William received a portion of the Mosley patent (as his inheritance from his father), which included a part of the island as well as land on the south side of the river, and these lands were apparently the farthest east or downstream. These lands on the island and on the south bank of the Roanoke fell into Edgecombe County when it was formed in 1741. It was the luck (or misfortune) of these early McLemores that they always seemed to end up near or right on political boundary lines; so although the modern researcher's physical task of tracing the records is made more difficult, it has nevertheless aided him in following the seperate family lines to know that, though close together, they fell into different jurisdictions and can be traced generally in separate counties. (James L. McLemore, III, pp 46, 47).
At least three sons have been tentatively ascribed to him, though he left no will so absolute proof is lacking. His oldest surviving son was named Wright, who was probably born not later than 1713, as he was probably at least twenty-one when he was granted a land patent in 1734. The other two sons were William Jr. and Richard, whose birth dates are unknown, but who were both apparently born before 1729 (perhaps considerably before). Other than the devises granted him by his father's will, there are no references which can be positively ascribed to William MACLEMORE Sr. He is believed to have settled initially in Virginia, near the area where his parents had lived before moving to the Roanoke River, because at least two of his sons had connections there---Wright in Isle of Wight County and Richard appeared close to the Virginia McLemore's in South Carolina. (James L. McLemore, III pp 50, 51).
Probably did not survive more than a year after the probate of his father's will, however, as William was not mentioned in the deed, dated February 8, 1736/7, from Mary Macklemore, Abraham's widow, to her other two sons Atkins and Young. (James L. Macklemore, III, p 43).
Probably the Charles McLemore who was a member of the Granville County Militia in the 1763 and 1769 muster lists thereof. He died childless. (James L. McLemore, III, p 50).
Her FindAGrave memorial page, created by Tony Sivo and maintained by Beckie Saar Leone, states that her Obit appeared in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Jan 5, 2009.
"She was born in Fort Worth on July 24, 1924 and was a retired graphics processor at General Dynamics....died on Jan 2, 2000.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Virgil, in July, 1999.
She was survived by a sister; brother-in-law; and 2 nephews."
It also has a photo of her grave marker, which was inscribed Jim Maclin McLemore, 1924-2000, "Altho her name was Jim, She was a Her not a Him."
Her great-granndaughter, Jennifer Fawley, emailed in May 2012 that Agnes's maiden name was MacMahon. On the California Death certificate of daughter, Dorothy, it was shown as MACK.
An Illinois death certificate was not located for Agnes Hyde, nor was information as to her maiden name listed on FindAGrave.
I was unable to find either an Agnes E. MacMahon or Agnes E. Mack, born ca 1873 in Illinois on either the 1880 or 1900 census index prepared by Ancestry.
The only Agnes E. of the correct age in that area as 1800 or 1900 was Agnes E. DUFFY, born Nov 1873 in Illinois, living in the household of the widowed Ellen Duffy of Elgin, Kane County, Illinois. Ellen Duffy was born in Nov 1843 in Illinois to Irish parents. On the 1910 and 1930 census records, Agnes E. Hyde reports her father born in England, and her mother in Ireland/South Ireland. According to the Illinois Death Certificate for Ellen Duffy, she was shown as a daughter of Pliny Lathrop Fox and Laura Riddell. Other children listed with Ellen on the 1900 census were Mary, James, Katie, Sudie and Edward, plus Eliza Dyer, a niece. It may be that Ellen Duffy was married twice, first to a MacMahon (or Mack?), and later to a Duffy. Or it might be that Agnes Duffy herself was married to a MacMahon before she married Bert Hyde. It is more likely that Agnes E. Duffy and the Agnes E. who married Bert Hyde are two different people, both living in or around Kane County, and both born in the same year, simply by chance. Granddaughter Sharon Hyde is not familar with the DUFFY name or family, so it is likely this family is not related to Agnes E. Mc???, the wife of Bert Hyde.
Volume 17 of the STRIFFLER-BENKELMAN BROADCAST, published on September 6, 1954, reported that Albert and Ann MacPhail were both graduated at Ann Arbor, Ann with a B.A. Degree and Albert as M.D. Albert was an intern at St. Lawrence Hospital in Lansing.
Volume 20 of the same periodical reported that Dr. and Mrs. Albert MacPhail and son, Alan, 15 months old, returned from Germany in late May, 1957. The MacPhails were in Europe for 21 months while Albert was serving his two-year tour of duty with the Army Medical Corps. They had moved to St. Louis, Mo. and were to be there for three years while Albert specialized in Radiology at City Hospital.
The STRIFFLER-BENKELMAN BROADCAST, dated September 5, 1960, Volume 23, reported that he had begun the practice of Radiology in Flint. He did his specialty training in St. Louis, Mo. under the direction of Dr. LeRoy Sante. Dr. MacPhail, his wife Ann, and three children are now living in Westgate Park, Flint.
The 1966 issue of the same periodical reported he had recovered from a serious auto accident and was again working as a radiologist in Flint.

There is also a FindAGrave Memorial Page for Earnest Woodrow Maddox, but with a date of death of 1 Jan 1990, presumably in error. The date of birth is the same, 2 Dec 1912.
His burial is marked with a stone slab, not engraved, and paper marker, which is shown on the FindAGrave website, but too small to read. Perhaps this accounts for the incorrect date of death. The stone slab next to him is unmarked, as is a dirt grave next to the unmarked slab. One of the unmarked graves may be for his first wife, Ruby, who can be found enumerated with him at the time of the 1940 Rapides Parish, LA census. Earnest was a farm laborer. FindAGrave links him to Earnest Maddox, Jr., whose obituary shows him as a son of Earnest and Ruby Maddox.
