(Medical):A direct male descendant, still bearing the McLemore surname, participated in the Morrison yDNA study. He was predicted to be in the I1 haplogroup, the most common group in Scandanavia. However, he does not currently have any matches among the other 15 members with the McLemore surname in the study. It is possible that there were several founding McLemore lines, instead of just one as has been long assumed. Or another possibility could be that undisclosed adoptions have occurred through the generations of descendants of both James and/or Abraham.

Charles McLemore writes that "Uncle James was born in Sheridan KY in 1908,this is where grandma Dora E family lived and after having lost two she went home to KY to have James" Charles also wrote that when James became ill later in life he moved from St. Louis, MO to stay with his brother, Young Jarrell. As he got worse, he moved to South Houston to stay with his sister, Aline McLemore-Jones, who was a nurse.
Knoxville Weekly Chronicle: Wednesday, December 23, 1874
James Murphy, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. McLeore, passed from earht through the pearly gates of the "Heavenly Eden" on the morning of the 14th last. He was a bright and promising child of 14 monhts of age, and was the idol of their home.
When in the arms of their physician he began to sink into death's cold embrace and was surrounded by a number of weeping friends who mingled their tears of sorrow with those of his fond parents which were wrung from their almost breaking hearts by such a scene.
A short funeral service was held at their residence in Mechanisville, at Tuesday morning, by Rev. J. F. Goldman, assisted by Rev. Mr. Thomas after which was sweetly sung "Waiting for Thee."
The body which was laid in a silver mounted coffin, upon which was inscribed in the center, "Our Darling," was conveyed to the residence of James M. Murphy in the country, where Rev. Mr. Goldman preached a short and impressive funeral sermon which was replete with words of tenderness and comfort to the mourning friends. From there the remains were followed to the family burying ground near to where the officiating minister read the beautiful burial services of the Methodist Chruch, when his angelic form was committed to the dust."
MIGHT have instead been born to James and his first wife, Louisa Hogan. However, FindAGrave links him to mother Mary Jane Langford. He is also shown on FindAGrave as being married to Eudora (1890-1976), also buried at Hopewell Cemetery.
Shown by Ken Oliver at Find a Grave to be a son of James McLemore and Mary SANDEN. Not verified. If accurate, this would make it less likely James is the son of the Revolutionary Soldier John McLemore, as John's son James married Hetty McDonald before moving to Alabama.
Other online sources, however, seem to indicate that the James McLemore who married Mary Sanden was from the Montgomery County, Alabama branch of the McLemore family ( a son of James McLemore, IV and Mary Elizabeth Harper), and not the Jackson County, Alabama branch.

From SHELBY COUNTY, TEXAS IN THE CIVIL WAR by Kathryn Hooper Davis and Carolyn Reeves Ericson:
McLemore, James S.
b: February, 1838 Alabama
d. 22 April 1919 Westover, Baylor County, Texas
Spouse: Elizabeth J.
Service: Private, 1rst Regiment Texas Lancers. Enlisted 2 April 1852 at Shelbyville.
Daniel Creel (dtcreel1@cox.net) writes that he was in Shelby Co., TX, for 1860, 1870 and 1880 censuses. Wife Elizabeth J.'s surname may have been EDWARDS - see 1850 census of Shelby Co. Children were Susan 1859, Henrietta c1862, Cora c1864, Eliza c1867, Hilliard c1873, Emma c1875, and Simeon c1877.
A James Simeon McLamore (?) Jr (?) registered for the World War I draft in Shreveport, Lousiana on September 12, 1918. He was a bookkeeper for Hoco Oil Co in Silsbee, Texas. Nearest relative was Mrs. Nonie T. McLamore of 1705 Allen Ave Shreveport, the same address reported for James. He was 45 years old, and reported his date of birth as April 6, 1873. He was described as Tall, medium build, with brown eyes and black hair.
Mark Freeman has his date of birth as ca 1845, but this contradicts both the 1850 and 1860 census.
Could this be him at the time of the 1880 census? Note that this census information would support 1855 as his date of birth. This also might be the listing for his older brother, John, who was also said to be married to a woman named Nannie.

John David McLemore, a descendant of Britain Sanders McLemore, Sr., emailed in July 2010 that he had a clipping of an obituary of James Sugars McLemore. The clipping was not dated, nor did it reference the paper it was from. He indicated that "James Sugars McLemore (who was a PhD in Philosophy and a professor in Latin and Greek at the University of Virginia and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga) --- was born in Jackson, TN in 1883 but it doesn't say when he died--- I'm guessing it was around 1930 though because it says he was survived by his father [who died in 1934] and it lists his last teaching position hire date as 1928."
His dissertation, published by the University of Virginia in 1917, was entitled "The Tradition of the Latin Accent."

His Texas Death certificate shows he was the plant manager of a Printing Company. He was married at the time of his death. Informant was Mrs. James T. McLemore, presumably his wife.
Email from Maggie on November 9, 2011: James Thomas McLemore married into the Cotton family. I wrote a book entitled "The Cotton Family of Northern Virginia" Volume 4 - Elizabeth Cotton and John Batsell Family last year. Elizabeth and John Batsell's daughter, Elizabeth, was married to William Summers. Elizabeth and William Summer's daughter, Sarah Jane, married James Thomas McLemore. That correction was made in reference to that book so that other could locate James and Sarah in the 1870 census as referenced in the book. I traced James and Sarah's children for a couple of generations but no major research on the McLemore family."

The American Culinarian
Chef of the Month
Texas Culinary Society
(undated clipping)
Cecil McLemore
American born, "out in the sticks" near Mineral Wells, Texas, Cecil McLeomore (sic) has earned for himself recognition as an accomplished Executive Chef of a resort type operation.
His career in the culinary arts started at the age of 20 in the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells. Since that time he has worked as Sous Chef at the Raleigh and Roosevelt Hotels in Waco, the Gunter Hotel in San Antonio, and the Lamar Hotel in Meridian, Mississippi.
He went back to the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells in 1941 and served there as Chef until 1951 when he went to the Plainsmen Hotel in Lubbock.
In 1952, Mr. McLemore leased the Skyline Dining Room from the City of Lubbock and operated it until 1953.
From 1953 until 1957 he served as Executive Chef at Western Hills Hotel in Fort Worth. While on this job he had the privilege of studying for three years under the direction of Matthew Bernatsky, an instructor in foods at at University of Denver.
In February of 1956, Mr. McLemore won the "Gold F" award for serving superly fine foods at Western Hills Hotel.
In 1957, Mr. McLemore transferred to the Western Hills Lodge, his present domain. The Lodge is one of Oklahoma's popular resort places located twelve miles from Wagoner, Oklahoma, on a peninsula overlooking Fort Gibson Lake.
Cecil McLemore attended grade school and graduated from high school in the small town of Millsap, Texas, between Mineral Wells and Weatherford. While workign as a Sous Chef at the Raleigh Hotel in Waco, he married Ruth Shands. They have one son, Donald, who is attending Wagoner High School.
For diversion and entertainment, Cecil has developed three hobbies. He enjoys photography and is a ham radio operator. When those hobbies do not give him the thrill he wants, he can always take to the air, for his has a private pilot's license and likes to fly.
While he does not claim writing as a hobby, he writes a good story. As proof of this, read his story of the Western Hills Lodge operation in this magazine.
Mr. McLemore has developed a high degree of skill in ice carving, food decoration and showmanship. His buffets are outstanding and he has created considerable interest in his Sunday Buffets by having a different ice carving each Sunday. Anyone who thinks that the life of a chef must be dull and routine should spend some time with Chef Cecil McLemore at Western Hills Lodge.
Jimmy Richard McLemore, 79, passed away peacefully in Dallas on January 17, 2014. He was born to the late William Delbert ("Mack") and Jimmie Beringer Hudson McLemore on August 24, 1934, in Howard, Texas. He graduated from Waxahachie High School in 1952 and began working for Southern Engine & Pump Company in Dallas, where he quickly rose through the ranks. In 1972 he moved his family to Denver and established McLemore Pump, Inc. His company became a successful and award-winning distributor of multiple pump lines in western states for thirty-five years, and expanded to open an office in San Francisco.
In his early years, Jim was a member of the First Baptist Church and active as a teacher and choir member. He served in the United States Naval Reserves. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed boating, fishing, and hunting, and he was a lifelong history buff, especially of the American West. In later years, he developed an interest in genealogy and pursued research into McLemore family history with a fond community of fellow researchers. Jim was more than a great father to his three daughters - he was a central figure in their lives. They could always rely on him for strength and peace, a great evening at a good restaurant, and advice on anything mechanical from cars to plumbing. He was never more than a phone call, email or text away, and would drive over or fly as needed. He adored his four grandchildren, who loved him profoundly. He gave his time and attention to them in many ways large and small: he attended their graduations, ball games, theater and musical performances, and camp closings at Camp Mystic; spent holidays with them and joined them for football games, live or broadcast; taught them to drive, and took them on Western history tours. He was proud of their accomplishments and confident in their futures. His resourcefulness, kindness, and resilience were a source of inspiration and comfort to everyone around him. His strength of character never wavered in the face of life's challenges. He was a rare man, much loved, and will be dearly missed.
Jim was preceded in death by his sister, Kathleen McLemore Butler. Survivors include his daughters, Vicki Chapman of Dallas and her husband Bob Chapman, Cynthia McLemore of Philadelphia and her husband Mark Liberman, Lori McLemore Eidenschink of Denver; his grandchildren, Lauren Chapman, Mac McLemore, and Annie and Evan Eidenschink; his sister Gail McLemore Fikes and her husband Dannie Fikes of Waxahachie; and nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

In an April 4, 2002 email to McLemore cousin researchers, McLemore cousin Thelma Hayes provides information from the Daughters of the American Revolution's Library which genealogist James McLemore III later confirms is the "Rosetta Stone" as to the lineage of Nanny's grandfather, Joel McLemore. Both of their emails follow. The man below, Captain Joel McLemore, is Emma McLemore's (Nanny's) grandfather's grandfather - her great great grandfather. A big thank you to Thelma Hayes for providing this to us!
Hi McLemore Cousins,
Yesterday, I received a photocopy of the following McLemore document taken from a file located at the DAR Library in Washington DC:
The McLemore Family in Richmond
Captain Joel McLemore came to South Carolina before the Revolution (his wife was Miss Wyche, the same family of Mrs. T. Taylor). He planted on the Congaree Swamp about twelve miles below Columbia. He was an officer in Colonel Taylor's command and served him all through the war. He was a brave honest and upright man. He left John, James, and Joel. John married his cousin, the Widow Patrick, sister to Claiborne Clifton. The Widow Patrick had one son Curtis Clifton, and a daughter Sarah. Curtis died unmarried; Sarah married Andrew Wallace.
Major John McLemore had by his only one wife, John and Joel and a daughter Eliza. John married a Miss McMorris who had two sons, John and Mark, and one daughter Victoria. Eliza married William Meyer, and died childless. Captain McLemore had a daughter married to William Smart who left a large family.
Captain Joel McLemore came from Virginia, a young man, about the same time that Colonel Thomas Taylor did. He was highly educated and had property. He bought lands on the Congaree River below Columbia where he lived and died. He had four children, Major John McLemore, Joel McLemore, James McLemore, and Mrs. Smart. His son Major John McLemore lived and died on the land he inherited from his father, his descendants are now three grandchildren and their families. His son Joel McLemore moved to Tennessee where he raised a large family.
(Note by Thelma: the following is on the second page)
I hereby certify that the attached is a true and correct copy of original document written by Andrew Wallace, written about the year A. D. 1854.
(Signature) Elise Wallace Hebb
Sworn to and subscribed before me, this 21st day of November, A. D. 1925.
(Signature) G. C. Bills, Notary Public
My Commission expires: 12/10/1928
(Copied from the following website:
McLemore genealogist James McLemore III responds to the above, also in an email of April 4, 2002:
Eureka! I think you have found the Rosetta Stone for your branch, the proof we have been looking for that your Joel (b. 1801-02) was Joel III, son of Joel Jr. and wife Temperence (Goodwyn)McLemore, and so grandson of Capt. Joel McLemore who moved from Virginia to South Carolina before the death of his father John Mackelmore in 1767 back in Virginia. Since Logan County, Tn site where Temperence and her large family are found, is immediately north of the Tennessee/Kentucky State line, I am not bothered at all by the document's reference to Tennesee rather than Kentucky as the place where he (Joel Jr, Nanny's great grandfather - note by EC) settled with his "large family," nor do I consider it a problem as to where - Tennesee or Kentucky - Joel Jr. died or whether his family's move into Kentucky came before or after his death. He left South Carolina for Tennessee, and his "large family" shows up later without him just over the line in Logan Co., and this document to me is the nail in the coffin that confirms my conclusions previously stated to y'all. I now consider the matter proved and resolved, especially because the document is a notarized copy of an 1854 statement made apparently by Capt. Joel's step-grandson-in-law, the husband of his son Major John's step-daughter, and so written by the hand of one who should have had some degree of familiarity with Major John's family and therefore presumably with Capt. Joel's family too.
What does bother me is the reference by this Andrew Wallace to Major John's "only one wife". It lists three children by her, but aside from Eliza(beth) who married William Meyer, who was probably the daughter of Cressy or Crissy Clifton Patrick (the "Widow Patrick"), daughter of his father Joel's older sister Sarah who married Thomas Clifton, the two boys had to have been born before Cressy or Crissy was widowed by her first husband Mr. Patrick and she had married Major John - or they themselves had to have married and began producing their own children while they were still pre-teen boys! The chronology just won't admit of enough time for her to have been their mother. In addition, I have other children for Capt. Joel McLemore besides the three boys and one girl mentioned by Wallace, including a possible one named Matthew who after Joel's death appears along the Georgia/South Carolina border on or near land Joel supposedly held there, and who numbered among his own descendants (like your Joel III) issue named Joel and Howell, a strong indicator of the connection.
That is why, in addition to "the Group" I have copied in Mr. Robbie Robertson (whose e-mail address is the last in the listing above). Robbie is most interested in the Clifton Family descended from Joel's sister Sarah and her son (Crissy's brother) Claiborne Clifton (I think!). But as he has done a great deal of research into both families, I hope he can help me - us - unravel some of the confusion surrounding Capt. Joel and his family in South Carolina. That is why I also begin by sending him a copy of Thelma's find for his comment as well as his valuable instruction to us all on the actual structure of Joel's family.
I therefore anxiously await his, and each of your, comments on Thelma's find and my comments above thereon.
(Research):Adam Ivey left a lengthy will in Sussex County dated 3 August 1789 and proved 7 May 1792.[327] The will left 100 acres "whereon he now lives" to son Ephraim Ivey, and 110 acres "whereon he now lives" to son Peebles Ivey. (The will mentions that the 110 acres to Peebles Ivey was the tract purchased of Joel McLEMORE less 40 acres reserved for the homeplace, meaning that it was the 1725 patent to McLEMORE while the 100 acres devised to Ephraim Ivey was the 1749 patent to McLEMORE.)
(Medical):A direct male descendant of Joel McLemore, along with two direct male descendants of his brother Burwell, were participants in the Morrison yDNA study.
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 confirming this, it appears that we have AT LEAST two distinct yDNA groups, with three additional potential lines. The first cluster of matching yDNA has ten members, who are part of the R1b1a2 haplogroup . The R1b DNA haplogroup, is the most common in Western Europe. Two of the ten participants can trace their lines back to the immigrant Abraham Macklemore, the husband of Mary Young. Another member 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 the immigrant James Macklemore. If both these members are correct in their paper trails, AND if Amos can be proven to be a great-grandson of James Macklemore, then the assumption that James and Abraham have a common paternal ancestor is correct as descendants of both men share the same yDNA. The other six members of this first cluster all have the McLemore surname, and all can trace their lineages back to McLemore men who predate the Civil War, but have not conclusively linked themselves back to either James or Abraham.
The second cluster in the study have three members to date. They are all in the E1b1 Haplogroup, which is rare in Western Europe. All of them match each other, but do not match any other McLemores yet tested. All three of these members can trace their ancestry to John Macklemore of Virginia, the husband of Faith. Two of them descend from his son Burwell, and the third from his son Joel. But, as discussed above, IF we have also proven that the immigrants Abraham and James Macklemore are brothers, then it follows that John Macklemore could not be the biological son of the immigrant James, as the yDNA of these two clusters is very different.
Our current thinking is that John was likely a son of Fortune's and a stepson of James Macklemore, who raised him as his own. Alternatively, it may still be proven that James and Abraham were not brothers. They may share the same surname, but not the same paternal ancestry. More proven descendants of James and Fortune Macklemore will need to be tested to confirm or refute either theory.

It is not know with certainty if Joseph is a son or grandson. As there was an 8 year gap between he and Sarah, and as Rachel would have been age 51 at the time of this birth, it is likely that he is not their son.

From Goodspeed's 1889 Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Northeast Arkansas, Fulton County
page 293
Dr. Joel McLemore, a physician of acknowledged merit in Fulton County, was born in Halifax County, N. C., June 12, 1835, and there remained until ten years of age, when he was taken by his mother to Tennessee, receiving his literary education in Waynesboro, of that State. During this time he formed a strong desire to study medicine and made the investigation of this science his chief business for a number of years. He has been practicing since 1865, and has been a successful practitioner of Fulton County ever since 1878. In October, 1855, he was married in Tennessee to Miss Harriet G. McClearen, who was born and reared in Hickman County, Middle Tenn. Her parents, John and Elzada (Adams) McClearen, were born in Northern Alabama and Bedford County, Tenn., respectively. To Dr. and Mrs. McLemore nine children have been given, seven of whom are living: John B., Joel H. (deceased), James F., William B., Albert A., Sterling P., Samuel G., an infant deceased, and Allie. During the late war the Doctor served four years in the Confederate army as major of a battalion. He is a Master Mason, a member of the Democratic party, and he and wife belong to the Methodist Protestant Church. He owns a farm of 240 acres on English Creek, about seventy-five acres of which are under cultivation. His parents, Joel and Mrs. Elizabeth (Pullen) McLemore, were born in Virginia and North Carolina in May, 1773, and 1803, respectively. The father removed to North Carolina when a young man and was married there. He was a tailor by trade, and also followed the occupation of farming, and on his extensive plantation in Halifax County employed 100 hands. He was twice married, Miss Pullen being his second wife, and by her he became the father of two sons: Joel, and James H., who lives in Wayne County., Tenn. After his demise his widow married John Whittaker, and moved to Perry County, Tenn., where she died in April, 1859. The paternal grandparents of our subject were born near London, England, and a short time prior to the Revolutionary War they emigrated to the United States and settled near Richmond, Va., where they afterward died.

The index of Alabama Deaths, 1908-1959 at Ancestry.com does show Joel Henry McLemore, date of death Aug 1932 in Lauderdale County, Alabama. It is not known, however, if this record is for this Joel McLemore.
(Research):He died, unmarried and with issue, in 1845, and by his will dated October 27, 1845, and admitted to probate December 15, 1845, he left most of his estate, including his share of his father's estate, to his sister, Martha M. EPPS, with a few other specific bequests to an niece Martha W. SMITH. (James L. McLemore, III, p. 68).
Melba Gene McLemore found a June, 1839 Supreme Court of North Carolina case relating to Mungo T. Ponton, Ex'r of Joel H. McLemroe vs. Elizabeth McLemore, et al.
Joel H. McLemore, by his last will and testament, devised and bequeathed as follows: "I give the following property to my friend, Henry Dogett, in trust, for the support and maintenance of my Daughter, Mary E. AVENT, viz; Austin, senior, Cynthia, Emannel, Daniel and Chaney, with an equal share of the proceeds of the sale of property, which I shall empower my executors to sell, with the exception of five hundred dollars, to be taken out of the part of my daughter, of the the money that may remain, after paying my just debts; the balance of my negroes, I wish to be equally divided among my wife and her child James Henry, and the one with which she is now pregnant. It is my wihd and desire that should I die shortly, that my executors sell the lots and houses I own in the town of Halifax, upon such credits as may seem to them best calculated to enhance the value of the property, together with all household and kitchen furnitre; and, at the end of the year, I wish them to sell my land, lying below the town of Halifax, and all my stock, crop and plantation utensils; the manner of selling, I leave to my extecutors; and, after the payments of my debts, the surplus, if any, I wish to be equally divided between my wife Elizabeth and her children; and the part which I design for my daughter, with the exception of five hundred dollars aforesaid, to my friend Henry Doggett, as aforesaid, in trust for the support and maintenance of my daughter, Mary E. AVENT---The property I hereby leave in trust, for the benefit of my daughter, Mary E. AVENT, is to be applied at the discretion of the trustee, for the support and maintenance of Mary E. AVENT, and her children, and no part or parcel thereof to be subject to the debts of her husband. " This bill was filed by the executor, stating the death of the husband of the testator's daughter, Mar E. AVENT, and the refusal of the trustee to act, and asking the advice of the court as to the proper construction of the will
This case was published in "Reports of Cases in Equity Argued and Determined in The Supreme County of North Carolina. From June Term 1839, to December Term, 1830, both inclusive. By Thomas P Devereux and William H. Battle, Vol. II. Raleigh: Published by Turner and Hughes. Thos. J. Lemay, Printer, 1840. It is available on Google Books.
THOUGHT to be the brother to Sterling C. McLemore by Melba Gene McLemore, family researcher. He also ended up in Arkansas.
Foide Williams, in a post to the McLemore Family Genealogy Forum, writes that: "The 1820 census of Lincoln Co, Tn (pg 14) shows Sterling C. McLemore and (pg 30) Signer Allen (who married Rebecca McLemore), Benjamin Wright (who married Hannah McLemore), James R. Brown (who married Martha McLemore), and Joel McLemore. These are all from Fayette Co, KY and apparently traveled together to Lincoln Co, TN."

This patent was probably to John Jr., however, rather than to his father, and was for land apparently adjoining that of the elder Macklemore; shortly thereafter John Macklemore Jr. and his wife Elizabeth, of newly formed Southampton County, conveyed to his father, John Sr., a tract of unspecified acreage, but apparently encompassing all of this 100 acre patent on the south side of Poplar Swamp, by deed dated and recorded January 8, 1751/2, and witnessed by Burrel Macklemore (Surry Deed Book 6 (1749-1753), p. 179). This conveyance gave John Sr. a plantation of 250 acres on Poplar Creek, on Southampton/Surry (soon to be Sussex) County line. Apparently son John no longer needed this land for himself, as his new father-in-law, William SPENCE, conveyed 80 acres, more or less (cut from a September 5, 1749 patent to him), to his daughter Elizabeth Macklemore, land which lay on the north side of "Frank's Branch", adjoining the lands of Thomas CLIFTON, William Spence and John CALTHROP, the deed therefor being dated August 28, 1750, and recorded in the Southampton County Clerk's Office on April 11, 1751 (Deed Book 1, p. 215). Shortly thereafter this same William SPENCE conveyed to his son-in-law John Macklemore (Jr.) an additional 100 acres, more of less, from the same patent, described as adjoining the aforesaid branch, CALTHROP, CLIFTON and one Capt. John RUFFIN, by deed dated October 9, and recorded October 11, 1751 (Southampton Deed Book 1, p. 266.). (James L. McLemore, III, p. 56).
John McLemore, Jr. and his wife Elizabeth witnessed the will of Simon TURNER, dated July 7, 1761, and admitted to probate in Southampton County December 10, 1762 (Southampton Will Book 1, p. 410). (James L. McLemore, Chapter IX "Simon Turner and his Southampton County Descendants, frp, an unidentified manuscript in the possesion of Rudy Leverett.
In addition to the land conveyed to John and Elizabeth by his father-in-law, he had other land holdings. In a deed dated January 14, 1762, he conveyed to William Watson GRAY 130 acres bounded by William TAYLOR and the William SPENCE Estate on the east, Thomas CLIFTON on the southeast, and Hugh NORVILL and Henry HARRIS on the north (Southampton Deed Book 3, p. 109). Thomas CLIFTON was the husband of his wife's sister, Sarah. A few years after the conveyence, the grantee William Watson GRAY died, and in 1770 John McLemore sued his executor, John GRAY. The verdict came back for GRAY on September 13, 1771 (Southampton Order Book 5, p. 457). A month earlier, John conveyed his 80 acre tract on the north side of Frank's Branch to Henry MOUNGER as security for a loan of 22 pounds (Southampton Deed Book 4, p. 347), but was able to repay the loan and MOUNGER released the 80 acres by deed of release (Southampton Deed Book 5, p. 209). (James L. McLemore, III, p. 61).
In a 1986 letter to Rudy Leverett, the author notes that John McLemore, Jr., along with his first cousin William McLemore, was a witness to a deed of "acquitaner" and a companion deed involving Thomas TURNER recorded May 9, 1776.
John McLemore's will, dated December 27, 1782, and admitted to probate in the Clerk's office of Southampton County (Will Book 4, p. 15), was transcribed by James L. McLemore III as follows:

At a court held for the County of Southampton on the 8th day of May 1783. This will was proved by the oaths of John Gray, Frederic Emmory, and Thos. Blake three of the witnesses thereto & ordered to be recorded. S. KELLO
Probably the oldest of John McLemore's three sons. His father had devised his plantation to Joel and John, with the division between them to be made by his executors. No record has been found of this division, but thereafter the two appear to treat their shares separately. Joel seems to have ended up with the 80 acres, more or less, lying on the north side of Frank's Branch, while John must have received the remaining part (100 acres, more of less) lying south of the branch. (James L. McLemore, III, p. 63)
Apparently John III's only deed record was a chattel mortgage in which he conveyed certain personal property to Humphrey DREWRY to secure the latter 42 pounds in current money of Virginia. This instrument was dated April 8, 1797, and recorded October 16, 1797 (Southampton Deed Book 8, p. 681). He made no conveyance of any land during his lifetime, and apparently what he received from his father he died with. It uncertain when John died, but the same Humphrey DREWRY qualified before the Southampton County Court on February 20, 1815, on the estate of John McLemore, presumably John III (Southampton Order Book 13, p. 63); it is undoubtedly the same John McLemore who gave the chattel morgage above. (James L. McLemore, III, p. 64). James L. McLemore, III goes on to detail some conflicting, but undocumented information, that John MAY have still been alive at the time of death of his brother James, said to be dated September 17, 1820.
