15801 I21878  McLemore  Ephraim  Abt 1738  1798  James L. McLemore, III writes that "It is possibly the younger Ephraim who is listed in 1768 on the Rowan County tax list. Rowan County, NC lies about halfway between Charlotte and Winston-Salem, hence it is in the west-central portion of the state, far from the centers of early McLemore settlement. He is known to have died in 1798, at age 60, in Surry County, North Carolina, which lies northwest of Winston-Salem, along the Virginia line. He probably arrived there by 1781, when he witnessed the will of Joseph MASTERS dated June 14th of that year. Ephraim Macklemore Jr. owed certain monies to the estate of one Robert WALKER in 1784, which remained unpaid as late as 1786, all in Surry County. The first U.S. Census places him in Surry County in 1790, and his will was probated in that county in 1798.
(James L. McLemore, III, pp 47, 48).

James McKinney shows an earlier arrival date to Surry County than James L. McLemore does. Mr. McKinney states that Ephraim was on the 1775 Surry County, NC Tax List. He also noted that in 1778 he entered 570 acres of land on the county line on a small branch of Hunters Creek, being the land "he now lives on."

James L. McLemore indicates that "In his will, he names his wife Hannah (who was left the use of all of his property while she remained a widow), sons Sterling, Wright, William, John, and Gilliam, and daughters Martha JONES, Kersey CONNA, Hannah McLemore, Rebecca McLemore, Fanny McLemore, and Sally McLemore. One of his executors was a Nicholas MASTERS; recalling that Ephraim Jr witnessed the will of Joseph MASTERS in 1781, it is possible that we have here a connection between the Masters family and Ephraim Jr."

Dr. Leverett also notes that Ephraim was listed in Captain Jeffrey's Company in 1754 of the Granville Co Militia (Colonial Granville Co and its People, Worth Ray). Vol. 22, p. 370-380 N.C. State Records: Ephraim McLemore Private in Captain Osborne Jeffrey's Company, Co. C. William Eaten's Regt, Granville Co., N.C, Oct 8, 1754. James McKinney instead shows that he served as a Private in the Reg. of Col. William Eaton of Granville Couny.

The 1790 Surry Co NC census shows 1 white male 16+, 3 white males 16-; and 5 females. The 1810 N.C. census shows an E. McLemore in Bladen Co. (Source: Dr. Rudy Leverett note card on Ephraim McLemore).

15803 I26057  McLemore  Ephraim Hester  20 Dec 1903  19 Nov 1973  1Rev. William P. McLemore, in a section on his website devoted to notable McLemore's (Website: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/3476/mclem1.htm), has the following biography:

Ephraim Hester McLemore was born December 20, 1903 on the farm of his father, Tilghman Richard McLemore, west of Meadville, Mississippi. When he graduated from High School, he received an appointment to the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York. He graduated on June 9, 1928 and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Field Artillery. "Mac", as he was known by his army friends, soon arrived in the San Antonio area serving with the Field Artillery School at Fort Sam Houston. Here, he met Edith Adeline "Peggy" Pearman and they married November 10, 1931. June 1, 1937, Mac and Peggy moved to West Point, New York, where he became an Instructor in Mathematics at the United States Military Academy. It was here that their three children were born: William Pearman, Ann Schindler, and Tilghman Richard, October 21, 1940. During World War II, McLemore fought in the Pacific as an artillery officer for which he received several commendations including the Bronze Star Award. In July of 1948, he became the Assistant G-4 for the United States Armed Forces in Japan under General Douglas MacArthur. His military career ended with a medical retirement at Fort Monroe, Virginia, in 1955. His first wife had died and he remarried a Betty Sue Lindsay. After years of retirement in Front Royal, Virginia, he died November 19, 1973 and was buried in Arlington Cemetery.

He had one sister, Margaret Hardcastle and one half-brother, Elmon (Tode) Fly, who preceded him in death.

Born in Medina, Tennessee, his parents were the late Nona Perkins McLemore and Eugene B. McLemore. He claimed Jackson as his residence almost his entire life.

He was a veteran of WWII - 44 months of service - 2 ? years in Asiatic Pacific Theater.

Judge McLemore was educated in the Jackson City Schools, West Tennessee Business College, Union University and received his Doctor of Jurisprudence Degree from Vanderbilt University.

He was engaged in the private practice of law from 1950 to 1960. He served three terms in the State Senate and was nominated for a fourth term before he was appointed Chancellor of the 14th Chancery Division of Tennessee in 1960. After serving 15 ? years in that office he was elected by the Supreme Court of Tennessee to be the Executive Secretary of that Court (now known as Administrative Director of the Courts). After serving one year, he was elected Attorney General of Tennessee by the Supreme Court. After retiring he continued to serve as Special Justice of the Supreme Court and Special Judge of the Court of Appeals by designation of the Chief Justice.

Frank F. Drowota, III, and former Chief Justice of the Tennessee Supreme Court, stated: "His leadership, intellect and energy shaped the progress of the courts of this state. He was always gracious in manner and courteous in speech, and he had a warm and delightful personality. His soundness of judgment, impartiality, courage and fairness will always be remembered. He was one of Tennessee's great judges and judicial conference leaders." Judge Alan HIghers of the Tennessee Court of Appeals noted: "Brooks McLemore is a legend in Tennessee law. No man in our history has made greater a contribution to our state judiciary than he has done."

He was president of the Judicial Conference of Tennessee 1966-67. He was a member of the Judicial Council of Tennessee for 14 years. He was listed in Marquis' Who's Who in America. He served as a delegate to the National Conference of State Trial Judges, American Bar Association, three consecutive years. He was very active throughout his career in court modernization and after his retirement was cited by the Judicial Conference for his outstanding services and devoted leadership.

He was the teacher of an adult bible class, which bears his name at West Jackson Baptist Church for 41 years and he cherished the relationships he made there. He was Trustee of Union University for 12 years and was Trustee Emeritus at the time of his death. He received Union's Distinguished Alumnus Award in 1972.

As a practicing lawyer he was interested in Trade Unionism and represented many labor unions. He was president of the Jackson Trades Labor Council 1950 to 1953.

15850 I24467  McLemore  Felix Harrelson  16 Mar 1843  16 Nov 1919  Melba Gene McLemore writes that her great-great grandfather, Felix Harrelson McLemore "is often described as the most colorful of the McLemore brothers. His self proclaimed profession was that of a Professional Monte Dealer, although census records listed him as a farmer. Letters Felix and Clarissa exchanged show Felix was most often gone to Idaho or Montana prospecting for gold. From their letters, and the children's birth dates, we gather Felix was home long enough for Clarissa Isabella to become pregnant with one of their ten children, and then he would be off again on another mining prospect."

This is a letter he wrote his wife from Thompon Falls, Montana, as transcribed by Melba Gene McLemore:

Thompson Falls MO [Montana]
June 19th 187?
Dear Isabel, I write you a few lines in answer to yours of seven days ago and this being the first chance I have had to get a letter to the office I have had since I received your letter although I was here a week ago but did not have time to write as I was in a hurry to get on .We are still out from Thompson Falls fifteen miles prospecting land but have had bad luck that is we have not struck gold enough to pay in any quantities but are not done trying but don't know when we will give it up but not soon I have found another Lege of one I wrote to you about finding one sometime ago and was going to have an assay of it it only went $16.00 to the ton but I think it will get better as we go down on it and that is our business here today to get fuse and powder and tools to work the lege with the other one I found. I don't know now what it will go but I think it better than the other one. We went to bed rock in our placer mines but did not find gold enough to pay so gave it up but we are going down on our lege and will work a week or so and then I am going on a trip in the mountains with a man who has got horses and will furnish me to go with him and we will be gone for two months or more but you can still direct to Thompson. Hope you are all well can't say when I will be at home may not come this winter but will if I make money enough to get home on and back here in the Spring for I think I will make something here yet for the country is covered with minerals of all kinds. Tell Robert to be on his guard for he is in danger of being killed at any time I have only killed one deer since I have been here, but have not had time to hunt. I saw an awful large bear track in the sand between here and camp this morning but I have not seen one since I have been here. I got a letter from the boys and will answering them as soon as I get a little time hope they are getting out of the grass and they will have an easier time I don't intend for them to make another crop in that county if I can help it. Write soon and often and don't wait for me to write for it may be some time before I am where I can write as ever
F H McLemore

Another letter from Thompson Falls follows:

Thompson Falls
Dear Isabel,
I write you a few lines after waiting to hear from you. I have written two letters since I heard from any of you. What is the matter. Have you written or not or do you wait for me to write before you write. If so I think you owe me a dozen or more for I know that I have written a dozen more than I got from any of you. I am not doing anything of account. Hardly make my grub and sometimes don't make that. In fact couldn't do much if I had work to do for the snow is three feet or has been until a few days back. We had quite a thaw but it snowed all day yesterday and the night before. As the snow snow is over two feet deep now and will not be less until spring. I shall prospect next spring again after I do my assessment work on my claims which will take some twenty days as I own two Interests and as soon as I am done I will start for the mountains for two months and if I don't find something rich I will quit and go to work for wages and try to get back home by winter if I can. I hope you will get along without me until then which I know you can and better perhaps than if I was there but you don't know how bad I want to see you all but I can't get there now so I will try to content myself by thinking you will get along without me best. I hope the children are going to school. When you write give me all the news and don't write such short letters as this. Hope this will find all well.
As ever F H McLemore


The following letter, also transcribed by Melba Gene McLemore, is one that Felix wrote his son John Wright McLemore from the Idaho Territory in the 1880's:

Murrayville, Shoshone County Idaho Terr.
March the 22nd, 188?
John W. McLemore
Dear Son: I write you in answer to yours which came to hand a day or so ago. I haven't nothing new to write. I am working at a saw mill at two dollars a day and board and it is very hard work in heavy timber and snow but I don't think I will work long as the mill will not run only to the last of the month by the partie who is running now --- I will not stay here long for as soon as I can make a few dollars I will go to work on my claims. I wish you all was out here and I hope you will sell the place this year at some price for I can't live in that country anymore after seeing this country. What has become of Marion Oliver or do you know. I have written to him several times but got no answers. Is Tie Jones thear yet if not find out whear he is and write to me. I have written to him and Neal Campbell but have not got any answers -- I don't think Marion Oliver is in the county or he would have answered my letters -- I hope you will succeed in making a good crop, be sure and do the best you all can for I don't know when I will start home not before fall at any rate. I will try to save money enough to carry me home this summer if possible. Thear is quite a rush here now and plenty men out of work and can' get a day's work--I have just written to your mother-- I hope you boys will not let your mother do any hard work for she says she has not been well since I left home. Well I will close. Hope this will find all well. What is John Shep doing.
as ever your Affectionate Father
Felix McLemore FH McLemore

Clarissa wrote her husband in December, 1883 asking him to come home, as there had been some killings in McDade. Melba's transcription of this letter follows:

McDade Bastrop December the 10th 1883

Your Wife Isabell

(Transcriber's Note: It appears this letter was folded and an extra note added to the end of the paper as the writing appears upside down when looking at the front page of the letter. Written above Isabellas heading of "McDade Bastrop December the 10th 1883" is the following: "Bill says he has quiet crying and will give you some Eggs to make you an EGG Nog when you come home."

A few weeks later, Felix's own brothers Thad and Wright, were taken out of a saloon in McDade and hung by vigilantes, George Milton, Tom Bishop, Mr. Howery and Preacher Frank Fleming. His brothers-in- law, Az and Jack Batey, were killed in a shoot out on Christmas Day, the day following the hangings. Robert Stephens and Haywood Batey were also involved in the shoot out, but not killed. A niece, Pearl Lee Batey was to be born this same day, to Walter and Elizabeth Batey.

Had Felix been home, he likely would have been killed as well. He was interviewed by the St. Louis Globe Democrat Reporter on December 29 about the tragedies in McDade. Melba Gene was unable to find a copy of this article in any of the December, 1883 St. Louis papers, however the article was reprinted in several Texas newspapers.

Melba found the following related article from the Williamson County Sun, published on January 31, 1884:
"Last Monday afternoon, Felix McLemore and Marion Beatty, kinsmen of the men who were hung and shot at McDade on Christmas, rode into Taylor armed with Winchester rifles, and stopped at Pilgrim's saloon. Milton and Bishop, whose firearms were used with fatal effect in the McDade affray, were already in town, well armed, and at Boyd's store on the opposite side of Main street. The two hostile parties were soon aware of their proximity to each other and were vigilant and guarded in their movements on the streets. For a time fears were entertained of a deadly conflict on our streets, but neither party sought a meeting with the other, and Milton and Bishop, having attended to the business which brought them to town, left for home. McLemore and Beatty remained in town till next day, when Marshal Olive got a telegram from the sheriff of Bastrop county, to arrest Beatty, on a charge of robbery, and bring him to Bastrop; in compliance with which he made the arrest and carried Beatty up to Austin that day, McLemore accompanying his friend."

Felix and Isabella had ten children, nine of whom lived into adulthood. Of the nine children, Gabe would die at 17 years and one day of age. The youngest son would live 9 days, as inscribed on Isabella's headstone, as she too would pass from the birth of this child.

In 1892, some four years after Clarissa died, Felix and his children sold their land and McDade. The following year he took out a life insurance policy with New York Life in St. Louis, Missouri. He named his children Clarissa Isabell (Lotta) and Marion Harrelson McLemore as beneficiaries, and listed his occupation as Cowboy and Saloon Keeper.

Felix remarried to "a woman named Sara, around the same time his daughter Minnie Bell married in 1904. Oral family history has this as a short lived marriage---and no records of it have been found." He had a saloon in Mineral Wells about this same time.

Felix bailed out of the saloon business in 1916, he had gone broke from selling on credit. His address in 1919 was St. Louis, Missouri, where he was staying with his daughter, Lotta, and her husband, Claude Johnstone. This is where he was living when he died.

This is a letter he wrote his daughter, Minnie, from St. Louis in 1919, transcribed by Melba.

Engineer Department for the Military and Naval Forces at Fort Mills, Corregidor, the Philippines. His mother's obituary of this same year listed him as Fred McLemore of Manila, P. I.

At the time of the First World War, a Frederick Monroe McLemore, born December 15, 1882, registered in San Francisco, California. No place of birth was listed. He was for Standard Oil Co as a telephone and telegraph engineer. He was of medium heighth and build, with blue eyes and light hair. This appears to have been the same individual, but this should be verified.

Not located at the time of the 1920 census. In 1930, he was enumerated in Tracy City, Tulare, San Joaquin County, California. He was a roomer at a Hotel, and listed as age 46, divorced (having married at age 31), born in Illinois as were his parents, and working as an Electrical Engineer in Film Production. When his father died in 1940, he was shown as living in Roseland, California.

The Janke Tree at WorldConnect shows his wife as Mayme JAMES, and that they were the parents of Winifred Mary and Roberta Ann McLEMORE.

The information on the family of George and Nellie McLemore was excerpted by Robert McLemore Butler from SAMPSON COUNTY HERITAGE, Cumberland County Library, Fayetteville, NC.

According to the 1906 "Yackety Yack", the Fourth Year Medical Class included George Ammie McLemore of Parkersburg, N.C. "His jokes are like bad news." Age 27, height, 5 feet, 10 inches, weight 140.

That same month he began his medical practice in Cleveland Township, Johnston County, North Carolina. As his patients were scattered all over the countryside, he used a horse and buggy for travel until 1914. He recalled his hardest work was during the flu epidemic of 1918 when he was called upon to keep going day and night. During his career he delivered more than 5000 babies and saved uncounted lives. He also wrote a cartoon and quip series "Aunt Roxie Says" for the Smithfield Hearld.
