16201 I33301  McLemore  John  Aft 1760  Yes, date unknown  0  James L. McLemore, III writes that "John was probably the next oldest son, but there is no other record of him in the Southside clerk's office other than the bequest of cash to him under his father's well. Because of this, and because most other Southhampton Co references to a John McLemore of this generation are ascribed to John III, son of Burwell's brother John Jr, it is generally assumed that Burwell's son is the John McLemore who lived for a time in NC, and fought in the Revolution, and died in Tennessee. It is said John was born in about 1762 in Brunswick Co, VA, which was just a short way southwest of Burwell Maclemore's land in Sussex County."

As Jim McLemore indicated above, It has long been assumed that the John McLemore who lived for a time in NC, fought in the Revolution, died in Tennessee (and was the father of Archibald McLemore), was a a son of Burwell MacLemore and Amy Gilliam. However, current DNA evidence indicates this is not correct.

There is currently no evidence to explain what happened to this John McLemore. There is no proof he married, and if he did marry no proof of his wife was, and no evidence to identify the lady - John McLemore paid taxes 1790 and 1798 in Southampton County Virginia. He was living when his father's estate was proved in Southampton County Court.

Larry Willis emailed on December 28, 2009 that his wife's line is from Grover Cleveland McLemore 1884-1959; son of Andrew D. 1841-1927: son of Greene 1800-1850; son of John 1762-1844; son of Burwell 1721-~1793; son of John 169-1767. He said he had been talking to Tom Heseltine about the DNA project and there are several male cousins in and around Knoxville, TN. 		 STR06 
16202 I24720  McLemore  John  Abt 1762  30 Jun 1844  0  James L. McLemore, III wrote that John McLemore enlisted "in Aug. or Sept., 1779....in the co. of Capt. Micajah Bullock of Granville Co, NC, and apparently saw some action....on Dec 20 of the following year, he married Sarah.... there in Granville Co, James Claxton (Clanton) was security on their bond. In May, 1784 he bought part of the estate of Benjamin Wade, and was shown living there in Granville Co census of 1786. Apparently he continued to reside there in Granville until about 1796....He thereafter moved to Burke Co, N.C....then to Knox Co, TN about 1813, where he continued to reside until his death on June 30, 1844. At least one son (Archibald, born 11 Mar 1787) is known to have survived him." (James L. McLemore, III, pp. 75-76)

Eddie Maynard has also has posted a transcription from the State Records of Granville County, NC of a list of persons who took the oath of allegiance to the State in the Dutch District. Included on this list was James McLemoore, Senior, James McLemoore, and John Maclemoore.

American Revolution Pension Statements
State of Tennessee Knox County: Circuit Court for said County at August Sessions 1832

Transcribed by Will Graves 4/3/09
On this 18th day of August 1832 personally appeared in open court before the Honorable Circuit Court of Knox County now sitting John Maclemore a resident of said County and State aged 69 years and near 8 months, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th 1832 -- That sometime in the month of August or September in the year 1779, as well as he now recollects, he entered the Army of the United States as a private in a volunteer company, which was raised and rendezvoused at Granville Court house, North Carolina, for 3 months service -- that his company was commanded by Micajah C. Bulloch of Granville County as Capt., and Ralph Williams of Orange County NC as Lieut.. Applicant states that the company in which he was enrolled together with 2 others as well as he now recollects, rendezvoused at Granville Court house and marched under the command of Major Richard Cook to the mouth of Cross Creek on the Cape Fear River where they were stationed 2 or 3 weeks. From the mouth of Cross Creek they recrossed the Cape Fear River and marched to Chatham Count house and see where they were stationed several weeks -- they then marched to Hillsboro where they were stationed but a few days, when they marched to Back Creek and remained there until the 3 months for which applicant had volunteered, had expired, when he was honorably discharged and returned home. Applicant states that the Main object of this expedition was to keep the Tories in awe -- Applicant states that about 9 months after his last mentioned discharge he hired a man by the name of William Westbrook to perform a tour of 3 months service for him, in a company of horse -- he states that he furnished the said Westbrook with a horse saddle and bridle, gave 100 acres of land and 2 cows and calves -- Applicant states that the reason why he did not performed this tour of duty himself was that at that time he was engaged to be married to the lady with whom he afterwards intermarried, and from her strong and earnest remonstrances, and his great reluctance at leaving her, he was induced to hire a substitute and remained at home -- Applicant states that afterwards sometime in the latter part of the year 1780 or first of the year 1781, he rather thinks the latter, he entered the service of the United States, as an orderly Sgt. in a company of volunteer horse, which rendezvoused at Granville Court house NC under the command of Capt. Nathaniel Waller, who was commanded by Major Harris of the Continental Army, and who was afterwards deprived of his commission for plundering a blanket -- also under the command of Col. John Hary [? Hay?] who had the supreme command. From Granville the Army marched to the mouth of Cross Creek on the Cape Fear River, where Major Richard Cook and General Butler took command. Here the horsemen were all dismounted and their horses sent home and applicant and his company were put with the infantry. From the mouth of Cross Creek the Army under the command of the said General Butler marched to Rockfish a small River, where it met General Rutherford with a large force, who took the supreme command of the whole Army, and crossing Rockfish marched on to the North East River on the opposite bank of which there was a large force of British and Tories. Here the Army remained until the British left their position on the opposite side of the River, and then the American Army marched some distance up the River where they crossed and marched directly to Wilmington. The American Army remained within 2 miles of Wilmington until the British took shipping and left that part of the country, when the 3 months for which applicant had entered the service having expired he was honorably discharged and returned home. Applicant is under the impression that this last campaign was commenced before the battle of Guilford, and that the British Army which he left Wilmington was a part of the troops which had been engaged in that battle. Applicant states that altogether he has served 6 months in the revolutionary army himself and 3 months by his substitute is a campaign of 3 months as a private volunteer, and 3 months as an orderly Sgt., as before mentioned. Applicant states that he was born in Brunswick County, Virginia in the year 1762 -- that his father had recorded the age of applicant and all his children in a family Bible which applicant well recollects to have seen, and which was last in the possession of his father -- that he lived in Granville County NC at the time he entered the service of the United States, and continued to live there during the whole war and to the year 1796 at which time he moved to Montgomery County N. C. where he lived about 8 years, and then moved to Burke County NC where lived about 80 years, and then moved to Knox County Tennessee to the neighborhood where he has lived ever since and is now living. Applicant states that it is his impression that he received a written discharge at the termination of one or both of the above mentioned campaigns, but he does not know what has become of them, or how they were lost -- he states positively that he has not at this time either of said discharges nor any documentary evidence whatever of his service -- he further states that he knows of no person whose testimony he can procure who can testify to his services -- Applicant hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the Agency of any State.

Census Information:

As transcribed by Eddie Maynard

"The pension papers also state that John McLemore lived in Granville County, North Carolina during the war until 1796 until he moved to Montgomery County, North Carolina for eight years (1796-1804). He is listed on the 1800 Montgomery County, North Carolina Census (Morganton township) with:

3 males under the age of 10
1 male age 26-44
1 female 16-25

Jim White indicates, however, that the only McLemore in Montgomery county in 1800 was Clem McLemore - the John McLemore who married Sarah Carnes was enumerated in Burke County in 1800, not Montgomery.

The pension papers show that John McLemore then moved to Burke County, North Carolina for 8 years (1804-1812). He is recorded in the 1810 Burke County, North Carolina census with:
2 males under the age of 10
1 male age 10-15
1 male over the age of 45
1 female age 10-15
2 females ages 16-25
1 female over the age of 45

1820 Census
not located

John McLemore states in his Revolutionary War pension papers that he then moved to Knox County, Tennessee (around 1812). He is first recorded in the Knox County, Tennessee Census records in 1830 with:
1 male age 10-15
1 male age 60-70
1 female age 20-30
Since John McLemore's wife Sarah Carnes is not recorded in the 1830 census, we assume that she died between 1820-1830."

16204 I24720  McLemore  John  Abt 1762  30 Jun 1844  0  (Medical):It had long been assumed that the Revolutionary War Soldier John McLemore, who lived for a time in North Carolina and died in Tennessee, was a son of Burwell MacLemore and Amy Gilliam. However, current DNA evidence indicates this could not be correct. This is because two descendants of Archibald McLemore of Knox County, TN, a son John McLemore the Revolutionary Soldier, are both part of the larger R1b1a2 cluster. They do NOT match the DNA of Burwell's other descendants in the E1b1 cluster. Therefore, it is evident that the John McLemore who moved to Tennessee and was the father of Archibald McLemore CAN NOT be the same John McLemore who was a son of Burwell McLemore.

It is not currently known who the father of John McLemore, born 1762 in Brunswick, VA is.

Tom Heseltine speculates that due to the fact he named his eldest son Young, and that the name Young continues to as a first or middle name for many of his grandchildren, he might be descended from Young McLemore, the son of Abraham Macklemore the immigrant. Young married Lucy Nicholson. Susannah "Sukey" McLemore, born 1765 married Sgt. James GRAY as was the only child named in the will of Young McLemore. She also named her first born son Young Atkins Gray. Two confirmed descendants of Abraham Macklemore are also in the R1b1a2 cluster, and high resolutions yDNA matches to two descendants of Archibald McLemore of Knox County, a son of John McLemore. He is less likely to be a son of Abraham's son Atkins as John was not named in Atkins will and also due to the fact that Atkins had a son Nathaniel born in Granville County, NC in 1762...which makes it very unlikely he would have a son John born in same year in Brunswick County, VA.

Alternatively, John may be a son of James McLemore, Sr., who along with John McLemore and James McLemore Jr, took the oath of allegiance to the State (of North Carolina) in the Dutch District of Granville County. James L. McLemore, III, stated that Rudy Leverett, while researching the ancestry of Maj. Amos McLemore of Jones county, Mississippi, showed that Wright McLemore had a son named James McLemore, born circa 1738 in Virgina. He would have been the correct age to be a father of John. Wright is thought to be a son of William McLemore, thought to be eldest son of James Macklemore, the immigrant. William descendants settled in North Carolina, and the name Archibald was also used amount his descendants in Sampson County, North Carolina. James McLemore, III is not certain that a James, the son of Wright, even existed, however. 		 STR06 
16205 I14734  McLemore  John  Bef 1774  Yes, date unknown  0  Ann and Eldon McLemore of Derby, Kansas show Eldon's ancestor as John McLemore, born ca 1775 in South Carolina, and as the son of Joel McLemore and Elizabeth Wyche of South Carolina. Other records, however, show that Joel and Elizabeth McLemore's son, Major John McLemore (born ca 1776), was married to Cressy McLemore [nee Lucretia Clifton]. Eldon's ancestor was instead married to a Winnie Baltice and had a large family, sons Wesley, Rueben, Matthew and John, and daughter Dorcus. Their branch of the McLemore family moved to northern Mississippi, and then onto Oklahoma. Could this actually be the John McLemore from whom Weldon descends?  STR06 
16206 I24530  McLemore  John  Abt 1776  Aft 1837  0  The notes below are from Mark Freeman's "McLemore Family of Southside Virginia" website, and he in turn cites the Leonardo Andrea Collection on the McLemore surname.

Major John McLemore was a prominent man and a wealthy man. He had a large plantation adjoining the plantation of Col. David Myers and Myers son married a daughter of Maj. McLemore. There was a murder and Maj. McLemore spent his fortune defending his life for killing Col. David Myers. From the graveyard of Col. Myers: "Col. David Myers was inhumanely murdered by John McLemore" reads part of inscription on the headstone.

John McLemore's Will was signed 25 Jan 1837, Proved 6 Feb 1837, Richland Co, SC. Named in John McLemore's Will: Cressy McLemore, wife; Eliza A. Myers, wife of William M. Myers "if she will not live any more with her husband," John McLemore, deceased son, his children and minors; Victoria Carolina McLemore, daughter of John; Marcus Cato McLemore, son of John; John McLemore, son of John Sr.; Eliza M. McLemore, daughter-in-law and widow of John McLemore; Joel McLemore "my ungodly, prodigal son who has given himself over to vice and degredation...no part until he has shown that he has reformed."; John Smart, my nephew, son of my sister, Sarah Smart; William Smart , my nephew, son of my sister, Sarah Smart; Carolina Moore, my niece and daughter of my sister Sarah Smart; and Harriet Woodward, my niece and daughter of my sister, Sarah Smart. Executors and Trustees of his estate: James Adams, Joel Adams, James Hopkins Adams. Witnesses: James Johnson, John S. Lott, James McMahon

Douglas McLemore

He is certain from himself up to Eliza McLemore showing her children including Hiram Greene in both 1860 in KY then IN in 1880. Census data also connects Hiram Greene McLemore to his great grand father Andrew Jackson McLemore in IN and then IL. In KY in 1850 Eliza is shown with her children (including Hiram) and also what is believed to be her mother-in-law Ruth (Steelman) McLemore. What seems to be missing is the husbands of both Eliza and Ruth (which Doug got from hearsay were both widowed). This makes it difficult to connect everything back to James and Abraham Macklamore.

He has also found deed records of the right time (1870s) in Salem, Washington County, Indiana to show both Nancy Ellen Heiffner and an Elizabeth Ellen McLemore buying property there. He suspects Elizabeth Ellen is synonomous with Eliza. He also found the wedding license for Nancy Ellen Heiffner and Hiram Greene McLemore, and has electric photos of all of these records including the plot map from 1878 showing N. McLemore on one of the plots. 		 STR06

Additionally, he is shown as a son of John K. McLemore and Ruth Steelman, and grandson of Ephraim McLemore and Hannah Hudspeth. Eliza Carson is shown as a daughter of Charles Campbell Carson and Elizabeth Dysart of Washington County, Virginia. Findagrave.com shows Eliza as being buried at the Samuel Denny Cemetery, Salem, Washington County, Indiana. On this tree, John Alexander and Eliza Ellen are shown as the parents of six, Samuel Carson, William, David Nelson, Hiram Greene, Mary and Emma McLemore.

Douglas McLemore, a longtime researcher on this line, has not found any records to confirm the parents of these six purported siblings. He emailed in February, 2012, that "in fact, I have two records that show otherwise. "DAVID" is listed as Hiram Greene McLemore's father on his death certificate and "D A" is listed as the father of Samuel Carson McLemore on the marriage license. Also, Owens is listed as his mother. Although his (Samuel Carson McLemore's) wife's maiden name is also Owens so this could be a transcription error."

FindAGrave has a memorial page of Eliza Carson McLemore (1816 Kentucky-1897 Washington County, Indiana), and notes she was the wife of John Alexander McLemore. There is no link to her husband, but she is linked to children Samuel Carson McLemore, Hiram Greene McLemore and Elmira McLemore Hefner. (FAG #61147145). She is buried at the Samuel Denny Cemetery in Samel, Washington County, Indiana.

In April 2018, Douglas McLemore emailed "I finally have hard evidence!!! Found a death certificate for Elmira (McLemore) Heifner, the daughter of Eliza McLemore and this Unknown McLemore. Her father is listed as John McLemore born in Kentucky!!! I am still VERY dubious of this being John Alexander McLemore as this guy.

John and Caroline and their four children can be found on the 1850 census, but as of 1860 the family is no longer together. It appears likely that John and Caroline died prior to this date, and that their children were scattered among differing families in Logan County. Hiram D, the oldest, was a boarder in the Lamb home.

Wesley McLemore and John McLemore both did live in Scott County, Mississippi at the time of the 1850 census, and both were born in South Carolina, but no other links connecting them have yet been proven. Additionally, Wesley was 21 years older than John. If related, they could as likely be father and son or Uncle and nephew as siblings.

Reuben (b. 1805), Matthew (b. 1808) and Dorucs (b. 1811) were also all born in South Carolina. They are also markedly older than John, and living in Copiah County, MS (several counties distant) versus Scott County. Again, no other links have been proven between them and John.

Nothing more is currently known about Robert.

The email thread below also indicates that John's parentage is still in doubt:

John McLemore of Morton,Scott,Miss
LindaMcLemore55 Posted: 11 Aug 2003 8:38AM

I'm trying to find the lineage of John McLemore born about 1823 South Carolina. He is found on the 1860 Census of Morton,Scott,Miss. His wife is named Anna and is about 38. Actually, I'm not sure if John was 37 or 57, but I've been lead to believe he was born about 1823. The brothers named for him that was sent to me have them being born around the 1802... area. They are supposidly Wesley;Reubin; Matthew, Robert & Dorcus. Born from 1802 thru 1811 except for John.

John and Annas children are: William, Henry R., Mary J. , Andrew P., Eliza, Nancy (Melvina?) Martha F., and John W. All supposidly born in Ms from 1842 to 1864.

I know this is sketchy, but I'm desperate. Just can't prove anything prior to 1860. I've been told that Johns mother was a Winnie Baltice ... but, I cannot find her. Johns father is also supposed to be a John ... but, I can't find him with the information I've been given. Does anyone know of this branch of McLemores? I just need to know how they connect and if possible, where to find them. I'd also like to know more on this Winnie as she's supposed to be 1/2 Choctaw.

The only other John McLemore in that area that I've found prior to this just lists him on the slave schedule as an owner, but gives no mention of his family. This was in 1850. Can anyone help me with this particular John?

Don't remember if we exchanged notes before, but Nancy Vinnie Batiste is my ggg-grandmother. As far as I can tell, she was mostly Choctaw with some French blood (from the French-Canadian Batiste family who settled in Mobile, it is thought). She was born 1794, probably in MS. She married Moses McLemore about 1814, probably in MS, and did have a son named John, but not the John you are looking for. Her son was John Thomas McLemore. b. Mar 1817 in Wayne Co MS and d. Nov 1863 Copiah Co MS. He married first Agnes Smith, and second Rebecca Rogers.

Thanks for responding. I'm at a loss as to where my husbands John McLemore and Anna descend from. My father in law was only about 3 when his father Andrew Pinkney McLemore died. What information I have is sketchy. Lots of rumors, but you know how rumors go. Once again ... thanks for responding. Linda

John McLemore descendant was an exact 25 marker match to John McLemore, born 1822, in North Carolina, with descendants later settling in the area of Jasper/Newton/Sabine counties, Texas; Wright McLemore and Keton Jones McLemore who lived in adjoining households at the time of the 1830 Richland County, Arkansas and whose descendants also later settled in Texas.

According to FamilytreeDNA in Houston, the probability that the two DNA donors share a common ancestor, is as follows:

In addition to this above matches, the Wright McLemore, John McLemore, and Keton Jones McLemore descendants were also matches to two proven descendants of Abraham Macklemore, the immigrant, and John McLemore, born 1762, the Revolutionary soldier who left descendants in Knox County, Tennessee; Dade County, Missouri; Illinois; Mississippi; and Alabama.

Each of these matches, including the McElmurry, can be found indexed in these files.

The members of R1b are believed to be the descendants of the first modern humans who entered Europe about 35,000-40,000 years ago. Those R1b forebearers were the people who painted the beautiful art in the caves in Spain and France. They were the contemporaries (and perhaps exterminators) of the European Neanderthals. R1b is the most common Y haplogroup in Europe - more than half of men of European descent belong to R1b. Fourteen of the 30 most common haplotypes in the YSTR.org database are typical of R1b. 		 STR06

One day he was with his Uncle Maclin Bass McLemore in Rogersville. Maclin was a pilot on the Shoals. The Shoals, being a treacherous body of water and rapids, took a skilled person to navigate. That fateful day John and Maclin were captured by the army. Thinking John was too young (he was 15); he was told to go home and tell his aunt what had happened to her husband.

John in later years carried the Star Route mail in Limestone County. This mail was carried on horseback for which he received $4.00 a month. He lived in Limestone until his death on Valentine Day in 1924 when he literally dropped dead with a heart attack while walking to the store."

16231 I45807  McLemore  John "Johnny" L.  Mar 1892  Yes, date unknown  0  Among the progressive and wide-awake young business men of Haskell is numbered John McLemore, a native son of Oklahoma, who has been an important factor in developing the oil fields of this section of the state and also has financial and real estate interests. He was born at Arthur, near Duncan, Oklahoma, March 9, 1892, of the marriage of Albert and Lizzie (Ligon) McLemore, the former a native of Dade county, Missouri, while the latter was born in Illinois. The father came to this state in territorial days, establishing his home near Duncan, in what was then known as Indian Territory, in 1888. There he followed agricultural pursuits until 1896, when he removed to Tahlequah, where he resided until March, 1898, and then made his way to Stonebluff, in which town he was assassinated on the 16th of March 1909. The mother passed away on the 31st of January 1912.

John McLemore was reared and educated at Bacone, three miles north of Muskogee, and was sixteen years of age at the time of his father's death. In partnership with his brother he continued to operate the home farm until March, 1916, when he came to Haskell. In this locality he also engaged in farming but subsequently disposed of all of his stock and on March 15, 1919, purchased an interest in the Creek Land & Loan Company, which had been organized by Frank B. Glascock and his two daughters, Nellie C. and Sarah S. He and B. K. Williams now own that concern. He also owns about six hundred acres of land, which he leases profitably. He is a stockholder and director of the Haskell National Bank, also has large oil holdings, and it was largely through his efforts that the Stonebluff oil field was developed. He displays marked business sagacity for one of his years and through the capable management of his interests has already advanced to a substantial point on the high-road to success.

At Muskogee, Oklahoma, on the 8th of November, 1912, Mr. McLemore was united in marriage to Miss Grace Hendrickson, a daughter of Andrew and Mary (Morgan) Hendrickson, natives of Kentucky and pioneers of Kansas and Oklahoma. Her father
was one of the early agriculturists of Okmulgee county and there passed away in April, 1914. Her mother still resides on the home farm. Mr. and Mrs. McLemore have become the parents of four children: Helen May, who was born August 19, 1913; Ernestine, born April 30, 1916; Margaret N., born April 27, 1918; and Hilda Jean, born October 23, 1920. Mrs. McLemore is a native of the Blue Grass state and was born May 6,1892.
Mr. McLemore is independent in his political views, reserving the right to vote according to the dictates of his judgment, and he has been called to public office, serving for two years as mayor of Haskell and giving to the city a businesslike and progressive administration. He attends the Christian church and fraternally is identified with the Elks lodge at Muskogee, of which he is a life member, and he is also a prominent Mason, belonging to the commandery and the Shrine at Muskogee, while in the consistory at McAlester he has taken the thirty-second degree. He is a young man who has not yet reached the zenith of his powers, but in the development of his talents he has established himself in a foremost position in business circles of Haskell, and judging by what he has already accomplished the future holds for him unlimited possibilities.

Sim listed his date of birth as December 13, 1903.

It is ASSUMED that the James McLemore that is his father is a son of Young Leander McLemore, as another son of Young Leander, John Wesley, was also in Somervell County around this time period. This should be verified through an obituary or census records. John Alvin was listed as born in Somervell County. His residence at the time of his death was Tolar, and his occupation was farming. He was married, and the informant was his wife, Mrs. J. A. McLemore.

When he registered for the draft during World War I, he was a resident of Sommervell County. His DOB was instead shown as 11 Mar 1884.

William Christmas's double-nephew, John Christmas McLemore became a clerk in his office in 1806 at the age of sixteen. On the death of his Uncle (1811?), McLemore succeeded to his office which he held for many years. It was said McLemore had more Tennessee land "on the books" than any individual person at any time.

In the course of his wheeling and dealing, many towns were named by him, including a town on the north side of the South fork of Obion river, at or near the place called "McLemore's Bluff," on the land of John C. McLemore, and the said town to be known by the name of Christmasville.

One can readily see that the town was named by him in honor of his family, as was the nearby West Tennessee town of McLemoresville.

File: McLemore, John C. .. Andrew Jackson Papers.1770-1803.docRMB

West Tennessee land speculator John C. McLemore was born January 1, 1790, in Orange County, North Carolina. In 1809 he moved to Nashville, where he became a surveyor's clerk. Five years later, he succeeded his uncle William Christmas as surveyor general of the Tennessee Military Tract. His name appeared in most county land books as a grant or land locator or as an official. Because of his character, generosity, and business acumen, contemporaries considered McLemore a potential gubernatorial or senatorial candidate, but he never ran for either office. Both Nashville and Memphis named an early street in his honor, an indication of his community status.
In addition to his popularity and impressive good looks, McLemore's rise to prominence benefited from his marriage to Elizabeth Donelson, daughter of John Donelson, a longtime friend of Andrew Jackson. Before 1820 Jackson and McLemore cooperated in land development in northern Alabama with fellow brother-in-law and Jackson favorite General John Coffee.

McLemore invested heavily in West Tennessee's development. Evidently he lent his name to McLemoresville and Christmasville in Carroll County. More importantly, the Jackson-McLemore tie resulted in the latter's early interest in Memphis and made him the fourth founding father of the city, along with Jackson, John Overton, and James Winchester. In competition with Overton and Winchester, McLemore speculated in risky ventures, namely Fort Pickering and the LaGrange and Memphis Railroad. Nearly bankrupt, he tried to recoup his losses in California's gold boom of 1850. Within a decade, McLemore returned to Memphis, where he died May 20, 1864.

The following bio by Mary and Kent, was copied from his FindAGrave memorial page, created by Marjorie Gurley:

Land Surveyor and Speculator. Though not as well known as his counterparts, McLemore was one of the original founders of Memphis playing a large if not larger role than John Overton, Andrew Jackson and James Winchester. At the age of 16 he moved to Nashville and began clerking as a land surveyor. Five years later he was appointed surveyor general of the military district by the Tennessee state legislature, a job formerly held by his uncle, William Christmas. In 1815 McLemore married Elizabeth Donelson, a niece of Andrew Jackson. Jackson and McLemore partnered together and enjoyed great success in land deals in Alabama and Tennessee. The two owned quite a bit of land in Memphis and when Jackson ran for president he traded his 625 Memphis acres to McLemore in exchange for land in Madison County making McLemore one of the largest land holders in Memphis. In addition he had land holdings throughout the state, mostly in West Tennessee, and at least two towns were named for him, McLemoresville and Christmasville. McLemore moved to Memphis in order to promote the town, sell lots and make money. He placed his name on the 1828 deed giving public access to the Memphis river front including Court Square, Market Square, Auction Square and the riverfront promenade. Through his land deals McLemore became extremely wealthy but his gamble on the failed Memphis and LaGrange railroad cost him most of his wealth. The project was an abject failure and a financial panic in 1837 decimated his holdings further. In an attempt to make a financial comeback McLemore went to California in the 1849 gold rush. He stayed there for about 12 years returning to Memphis before his death. Of all four founders of the City of Memphis, John Christmas McLemore is the only one buried in Memphis.

16259 I25509  McLemore  John Dabney  3 Aug 1813  28 Jun 1880  0  A 36 year old John D. McLemore, born in Tennessee, is located in the Southern Division of Carroll County, Mississippi at the time of the 1850 census. John appears to be living with his wife, Sarah, and four children: Daniel, Price, Jefferson and Adalaide. As several researchers show John Dabney McLemore as the father of Price Perkins McLemore (although the evidenced for this is not documented in their trees), it appears likely that this John D. McLemore is indeed John Dabney McLemore. Rev. William McLemore shows that he was actually born in North Carolina, and does not list a location of death. Several online trees show he died in Panola County, Mississippi, but no sources are cited for this.

It is further shown on the 1850 census that John is married to a 24 year old Sarah, born in North Carolina. She would have been too young to be the mother of the three boys in the household, but is likely the mother of John's one year old daughter, Adalaide.
He reported that he owned property worth $2,000.

In 1860, the same John D. McLemore appears to still be listed in Carroll County, but without a wife or children enumerated with him. His real property was reported to be worth $381,000 and personal property was reported at $400,000. This is a huge increase in value in a relatively short time period. He is shown as a Farmer/Merchant. It appears that the "personal property" was likely his inventory of slaves.

This appears likely based on the following:

LARGEST SLAVEHOLDERS FROM 1860 SLAVE CENSUS SCHEDULES

MCLEMORE, John D., by W. D. Warren overseer, 68 slaves, Dist. 2, page 259

FORMAT. This transcription lists the names of those largest slaveholders in the County, the number of slaves they held in the Police District where counted, the number of the Police District and the first census page on which they were listed. The page numbers used are the rubber stamped numbers in the upper right corner of every set of two pages, with the previous stamped number and a "B" being used to designate the pages without a stamped number. Following the holder list is a separate list of the surnames of the holders with information on numbers of African Americans on the 1870 census who were enumerated with the same surname. The term "County" is used to describe the main subdivisions of the State by which the census was enumerated.

SOURCES. The 1860 U.S. Census Slave Schedules for Carroll County, Mississippi (NARA microfilm series M653, Roll 596) reportedly includes a total of 13,808 slaves. This transcription includes 75 slaveholders who held 40 or more slaves in Carroll County, accounting for 5,073 slaves, or 36% of the County total. The rest of the slaves in the County were held by a total of 888 slaveholders, and those slaveholders have not been included here. Due to variable film quality, handwriting interpretation questions and inconsistent counting and page numbering methods used by the census enumerators, interested researchers should view the source film personally to verify or modify the information in this transcription for their own purposes. Census data for 1860 was obtained from the Historical United States Census Data Browser, which is a very detailed, searchable and highly recommended database that can found at . Census data on African Americans in the 1870 census was obtained using Heritage Quest's CD "African-Americans in the 1870 U.S. Federal Census", available through Heritage Quest at

After the Civil War, in 1865, he filed for a petition of pardon and amnesty from the federal government.

"To his Excellency Andrew Johnson, President of the United States of America.

That at the commencement of the War he was invested as a partner in a commission house in New Orleans and a a planter in said State of Mississippi & Yazoo and Tallahatchie bottoms, that he was then and is now as a member of the land commission house and as an individual largely indebted, Say altogehter about the amoutn of three hundred thousand dollars, an undertimable amount which is due to orphan children, that he has lost all of his slaves, and second, all of the debt due to him, and said commission house, are now nearly worthless, that the property he now owns is worth more than twenty thousand dollars but that is is wholy insufficient to pay his debts. He is advised that by reason of the value of his property he is not entitled to the benefit of your Excellency's proclamation of Amnesty, dated 29 May A. D. 1865, and that he must apply for an official pardon. He also states that he comes under none of the ??? except form the benefits of ??? proclamation Except the one in relation to persons owning $20,00 in taxable property. He states that he was opposed to the secession of the Southern States and opposed it until it was done. After the war commenced he consciously believed it to be duty to assist his state and section, which he did tot he best of his ability. He was elected a member of the Legislature of the State of Mississippi in Oct 1863 and held that office when the war ended. This was all the office of position he ever held during said war. He was not in the army, being exempt from his age. He now states that he desires the benefit of said Proclamation and amnesty. That he has takend the oath ??? prescribed which he hopes to ????, which he declares he will conciously observe. He also states that no proceedings have been commenced to condemn or subject any of his property under the confiscation laws of th U.S. he now asks that he be allowed a full & free pardon." John D. McLemore.

At the time of the 1870 census, a John D. McLemore is once again listed in Carroll County, with a 44 year old wife "Sally" born in North Carolina. This appears to be the same Sarah he was listed with 20 years earlier. Several younger children are listed in the household with them as well. Perhaps his wife and children were living apart from him in 1860, or maybe they were just inadvertantly left off of the census by the enumerator. 		 STR06

16267 I46191  McLemore  John Edward  10 Oct 1943  13 Feb 2011  0  Obituary, copied from his FindAGrave memorial page, created by Beanie Ragan Adams:


JOHN MCLEMORE, 67, of Talihina, Okla. went home to be with Jesus on February 13, 2011. Son of Arthur Clinton and Mae Coble McLemore, he began his journey on this earth in Alvin, Texas on October 10, 1943. John grew up in Alvin and told countless stories of playing with his cousins and friends, fishing in the Gulf, hunting with his dad, and working in his parents five and dime variety stores. He accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior at a young age. He began using his God-given gift of singing in church as a minister. He was the music minister at the First Baptist Church in Talihina for over 35 years. He loved the Lord, and loved his church family. John graduated high school from Allan Military Academy. He bought his first street rod during his freshman year of college at Sam Houston State University, in Huntsville, Texas. Street rodding would become his life long passion. For a short time after college he managed several A & W Root Beer Franchises. He moved to Tuskahoma, Oklahoma in 1970. He partnered with his father, built and developed the Kiamichi Fish Farm. John married the love of his life Martha Ann Boston, on October 2, 1971. They had three children together and his commitment and love for all of them was beyond measure. Rare was the day that he didn't say "I love you" multiple times. He owned and operated the Western Auto in Talihina until 1986. Soon thereafter, he began teaching art at Talihina Public School. He would often say, "teaching is what I should have been doing all my life." Mr. Mac absolutely adored his students. No doubt about it, he was an avid Tiger fan. He could be found Friday nights, 2nd row from the top, on the fifty yard line, cow bells in hand. To many of his street rod buddies he was known as "Talihina John", or just "TJ". He was a founding member of the "No Name Gang", and would spend countless hours talking about, and building hot rods with this brotherhood of friends. He established the "Talihina Fun Run" in 1998, and has hosted it for the last 12 years. The Talihina Fun Run always ended with a meal at John's home and a stroll through his "Field of Dreams." He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents John Edward and Dena McLemore, and maternal grandparents Omar Shaw and Alice Coble, and his parents. He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Martha Ann McLemore, of the home; daughter Rebecca McLemore of Talihina; son Clinton and Kim McLemore of Ardmore; daughter Stephanie McLemore of Ardmore; and three grandchildren, Kadie, Jonathan, and Rachael McLemore of Ardmore; and "adopted" son Alex Barron, of Spiro. He was the brother-in-law of Donna and the late Bill Baggett, Janice and Paul Lawson, and JD Boston all of Talihina. He leaved numerous other cherished relatives, and friends. While he will be greatly missed by his family and friends, we rejoice in knowing he has completed his journey here, and is at home with his Lord. John was a member of the Talihina Lions Club for 24 years.

Services will be held on Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. at the Talihina High School Gym, with Reverend Mark Cook and Reverend Carrol Redwine officiating. Interment will follow at the Old Talihina Cemetery. Arrangements under the direction of Talihina Funeral Home, Talihina, Oklahoma. 		 STR06

At the time of the 1880 census, he was widowed, and living in the home of his in-laws with his young daughter.

He was a farmer. On the 1900 Sabine County census, he is shown in household 22, next to the Henry S. White family, his wife's brother. Household 36 is that of Thomas E. McLemore, his half brother.

Finn died in at the home of his son, Vessie McLemore. Vessie and Nina had been caring for him. Granddaughter Evon remembers she and some cousins going out into the woods to gather wildflowers for him while her father built a coffin. Her father and his brothers took the coffin by cart to the Gravel Hill cemetery a few days later. 		 STR06

I was unable to locate him as of the 1870 census, but in 1880, he was living in the home of another first cousin, Sarah McLemore Hoskins, still in Logan County.

FindAGrave indicates he was buried in the Oaklawn Cemetery, Welsh, Jefferson Davis Parish, LA. They also show on that website that he served in "Co. F, 26 Ky Inf", which is inscribed on his headstone.

Porter Marshall shows that he was a served for the C.S.A. during the Civil War. This is NOT correct.

A descendant emailed: "John Fielding McLemore (b. 1844) was a Union Soldier, he was not part of the CSA as listed on the site. The 26th KY Infantry was Union (See Wikipedia and the National Park Service Website) Also, if you look at his grave marker it bears the emblem of the Great Seal of the United States. Last, my grandfather told me that his "grandaddy" ( John F. McLemore) served in the Union Army and "was wounded 8 times." Of course, I have no proof that he was wounded 8 times but as a boy growing up in the south, it stuck with me that one of my ancestors was a Union Soldier." 		 STR06

He died in Little Rock Arkansas just two months later, on April 22, 1862. It is possible that he died in a measles epidemic that took place in the Spring of that year. 		 STR06

He was not known by this name as he was growing up, and was dismayed to discover this years later. He told his niece, Melinda, that he legally changed his name to John Lynn. Perhaps he was initially named in honor of his mother's brother-in-law, Dalton Cousins.

The Texas Birth Certificate in the name Dalton showed that he was the sixth living of nine children in total born to his mother.

16280 I1988  McLemore  John M.  Abt 1822  Jan 1891  0  It is assumed that since John McLemore, at a relatively young age, was married to Sarah Morgan of Sampson County, NC that he was also almost certainly a native of Sampson County, NC himself. It further appears, based on the 1840 head of household census, that he was probably already living with the Morgan family by 1840, when he would have been just 18. It is not known if he and Sarah were already married, or if he was simply a farm hand. Furthermore, an analysis of all the McLemore families in Sampson County, NC (both through and examination of census enumerations and land transfer deeds) indicate that if John McLemore was indeed from Sampson County, he would almost certainly have to be a son of Tobias McLemore. There is no other family into which he would fit. This relationship is therefore based on circumstantial evidence, and is not absolutely certain. Any additional information, which would either help prove or disprove this relationship, is most welcome. Please email: strong@texas.net

In a letter written by Johnnie Mae Speights, she recounted a story told by her Uncle Ira "...his father ran away from home at age 14 in the dark of night because he was smoking in the barn and set it on fire and it burned up, horses and all." Henry McLemore heard a slightly different version of this story. As told to him by Ira's son, DeFord "...the father was a mean drunk. He came home with a group of men after a night of heavy drinking. He woke him up in the middle of the night and ordered him to go tend to the horses. He stumbled out in the dark to the barn to do this. As he was working, one the horses kicked over a lantern, and the barn started on fire. Scared to death of his facing his father's wrath, he jumped onto a horse and took off, never looking back."

According to Nan McCoy Kittell of Jasper, a descendant of John McLemore, it was actually John McLemore (our common ancestor), and not his son John Finn, "who ran away after burning down the barn." Nan also thinks John may have had the middle initial "M", but does not know what that stood for. Nan's mother, who also did much research on this branch of the McLemore family, noted that "John left S. C. (sic) with an older brother when he was 16 years old."

Jim White, also a McLemore family researcher,stated that a databse he had access to noted a Philadelphia Insurance company (Pioneer) which had records of a claim on a Barn owned by Tobias McLemore for $203 around 1830. He also referenced the Draper papers for this claim.

John and Sarah McLemore can first be positively identified on the 1850 Decatur County, Georgia federal census. John McElmore, a 28 year old Farmer born in North Carolina, is shown with wife Sarah (age 24, also born in North Carolina) and children William (age 5), James (age 3), and Sarah (11 months), (household #516-516). All the children were shown on this census as being born in Georgia. Based on the relatively young ages of John and Sarah at the time of the birth of their eldest son William, it was likely a first marriage for them both. It is not known if they married in North Carolina, Georgia, or elsewhere. It further appears they were in Georgia by about 1845, based on William's age. No other McLemore's were found on the Decatur 1850 census.

Just a few homes away from them in 1850 were Sarah's parents, Daniel and Mary Morgan. The Morgan family can be found in Sampson County, North Carolina at the time of the 1830 and 1840 census. Additionally, when the 1840 Sampson County census was taken, Daniel and Mary Morgan had an otherwise unaccounted for "male between 15-20" living with them. It is presumed this was their son-in-law/son-in-law to be, John McLemore, who was said to have "run away from home" circa 1836.

John McLemore and family followed the Morgan family from Decatur County, Georgia to Newton County, Texas sometime after 1850. Sarah died either enroute, or shortly after arriving to Texas.

Per a marriage license on file in Jasper County, "John McLemore married Sarah Ann Boit (Boyett) on July 26, 1859". Based on the ages of the five children listed with them on the 1860 Newton County, Texas Census, they would have all been his from his first marriage to Sarah Morgan. The children shown on the 1860 census were William H (age 14), James H (age 12), John F (age 7), Daniel F (age 3), and Mary A (age 2). William and James had both appeared on the earlier 1850 Decatur County, GA census. Sarah, who had been shown as an 11 month old toddler in 1850, but not on this subsequent census, had apparently died.The family was located in adjacent Jasper County, Texas at the time of the 1870 census.

Nan Kittell located the following land record from Newton County:

No. 79, Vol. 29 In the Name of the State of Texas. To all to whom these presents shall come, know ye, I Sam HOUSTON, Governor of the State of Texas aforesaid by virtue of the power vested in me by law and in accordance with the laws of said State in such case made and provided do by these presents grant to John MacLAMORE assignee of James A. WALTERS his heirs or asigns forever, 160 acres of land situated and described as follows. In Newton County on the waters of Slaydons Creek a tributary of Sabine river 17 mile S.16 degree W. from Newton by virtue of Premption Certificate No. 5 issued to John MacLEMORE as assignee of James A. WALTERS by the Chief Justice of Newton County 20th day of December 1858. Beg. at a stake on the W. line of H. KELLY's 160 acre survey...and on the N.line of L. DONAHOS 1/2 league survey..... Hereby relinquishing to him the said John MacLEMORE and his heirs or assigns forever all the right and title in and to said land, heretofore held and possessed by the said State, and I do hereby issue this Letter Patent for the same. In testimony whereof I have caused the seal of the State to be affixed as well as the seal of the Genral land office. Done at the City of Austin on the 6th day of February 1860. Francis M. WHITE, Comm. G.L. Office Sam HOUSTON, Gov. Filed--Sept 24th, 1860 at 2 p.m. Recorded--Vol. "C" p 534

On October 7, 1874, John sold this same 160 acres of land to James R. RICHARDSON for $1 an acre. John apparently could not write, as he signed the land conveyance with his mark. His name on this document was spelled as "McClemore."

Even after his second marriage to Sarah Ann Boyett, there continued to be a close connection between John McLemore and the Morgan family. Robert Lee McLemore sent me copies of deeds from the late 1860's in which Malichi Morgan, Kizzie Kelly, and John McLemore transfered property they jointly held to Dunkin and Eliza Morgan. Furthermore, J.F. and Mary Ann McLemore were mentioned by name as grandchildren of Daniel and Mary Morgan in a deed dated January, 1889. Dorine Speights also wrote that "Aunt Julie Morgan was closely related to Pap (Finn McLemore). He and mother used to go by buggy to Jasper to see her." From Jasper Cemetery records, it appears numerous members of both the McLemore and Morgan family are buried near each other at the Zion Hill Baptist Church Cemetery in Jasper. The Zion Hill Baptist Church is the oldest Protestant Church in Jasper County.

John McLemore died in January 1891. In 1899, Sarah Ann applied for a Widow's Pension, based on John's service in the C.S.A. Her application stated that John served in Co K, Speights Regiment, 21st Texas from the fall of 1864 to the Spring of 1865.

The War Department indicated, however, that there were "no rolls on file in this office of Company K, 21st Texas Infantry, C.S.A., and no record has been found of the service, capture or parole of a man named John McLemore, as a member of this organization." Sarah's original application (File No. 2267) was rejected on September 28, 1899. Sarah reapplied for a pension almost 10 years later, in October of 1907. On this application she indicated that John served for about 3 years, from April 1862 to 1865. Both J. W. Claud and M. Morgan testified that they had served alongside him. This application (File No., 13383) was approved in March, 1908. Sarah Ann died sometime shortly thereafter.

R1b1c (R-M269)

A direct male descendant volunteered to have his DNA tested. The results can be found at www.ysearch.org, under the user ID #4E4HJ. The FamilyTreeDNA kit number is 33104.

A direct male descendant of John McLemore was a participant in the Morrison DNA study. This DNA was a high definition match to two other McLemore's (not previously proven to be related), as well as to a McElmurry from Kentucky. See the results for Group O at the following website:

http://www.geneticousins.com/morrison/

The McLemore's that he matched were (1) a descendant of Keton Jones McLemore, whom in 1850 lived just across the border from Sabine County, Texas, where some of John's descendants later settled and (2) Wright McLemore, born in North Carolina and living in Arkansas, next to Keton Jones McLemore, at the time of the 1830 census. The two matches are one-step and two-steps removed, respectively, at twenty five markers. The differences in both cases are on rapidly mutating markers.

According to FamilytreeDNA in Houston, the probability that the two DNA donors share a common ancestor, is as follows:

In comparing 25 markers, the probability of sharing a common ancestor within the last...

4 generations is
27.54%
8 generations is
58.22%
12 generations is
78.24%
16 generations is
89.3%
20 generations is
94.93%
24 generations is
97.66%

In addition to this above matches, the Wright McLemore, John McLemore, and Keton Jones McLemore descendants were also 12 marker Y DNA matches to a proven descendant of Abraham Macklemore, the immigrant, thought be a brother to James Macklemore, immigrant. This 12 marker match was through the line of Robert McLemore, born 1769 in North Carolina, a grandson of Abraham's.

Each of these matches, including the McElmurry, can be found indexed in these files.

The members of R1b are believed to be the descendants of the first modern humans who entered Europe about 35,000-40,000 years ago. Those R1b forebearers were the people who painted the beautiful art in the caves in Spain and France. They were the contemporaries (and perhaps exterminators) of the European Neanderthals. R1b is the most common Y haplogroup in Europe - more than half of men of European descent belong to R1b. Fourteen of the 30 most common haplotypes in the YSTR.org database are typical of R1b.

Edwin Holcombe writes that "the marker values...are close enough to modal values for Haplogroup R that there are matches to this family in Scotland, Ireland, England, and other locations in Europe even at 67 markers. The family's haplogroup is projected in the project Results listing to be R-L21, but this has not been confirmed by a SNP test. With the common values that this group has for its STR markers, SNP testing may be the key to learning more about the origins of this family through DNA research." 		 STR06

He was playing with it while sitting beside the fireplace one night, when he inadvertently snapped it onto his lower lip. In a voice showing some consternation he said, "Come hyar, Lee!" Lee was engrossed with something else and ignored Roy for the moment. In a somewhat more insistant voice, Roy repeated "Come hyar, Lee!." When Lee still had not come, Roy's voice rose in a crescendo and, with the purse pinching his lip, causing excruciating pain, he fairly screamed, "I SAID COME HYAR, LEE!!"

Former President of Paris Junior College in Paris, Texas. The student union building is named in his honor. Tombstone is inscribed, 'TX, PFC, Company A, 358th Infantry, WW I, PH."

THE PARIS NEWS, 30 Apr 1961. 'On the eve of his retirement after 35 years association with Paris Junior College, Dr. J.R. McLemore, its president since 1929, died of a heart attack Sunday at 1:30 p.m. at his home, 2343 Culbertson St. Due to retire within a month as head of the college, he had been named honoree for the Ex-Students Association annual spring banquet on May 20, the same group having presented an appreciation plaque to him at the 1960 fall homecoming game. Joining the faculty of the two year old college in 1926 as basketball coach and instructor, he became its head three years later, and guided its growth, from obscure quarters in Paris High School basement and a shoestring budget, to a million and a half dollar plant, and a high scholastic standing. Monday evening, 'Doctor Mac's' body will lie from 7 to 9 p.m. in DeShong Chapel on the college campus, and Tuesday at 2 p.m. service will be held at Fry and Gibbs Funeral Home. Dr. Ronald Prince of First Baptist Church, where Dr. McLemore was a deacon, will officiate, assisted by the Rev. John Shuler of First Methodist Church. Interment will be made in Evergreen Cemetery. Surviving are Mrs. McLemore, the former Miss Willie Mae Robinson; these children: Capt. John Robinson (Pondus) McLemore, US Air Force, Panama City, Fla.; Mrs. Newton O. Felps, Baytown, and Mrs. Wallace Finfrock, Dallas; four grandchildren; these sisters and brothers; Mrs. Robert Morgan, Kirbyville; Mrs. Ollie Newman and Mrs. Clyde Wilkinson, Houston; Frank McLemore, Beaumont, and Ivan McLemore and Lee McLemore, both of Jasper. Son of Samuel M. and Rose Ella (Bean) McLemore, John Roy McLemore was born at Erin, Jasper County, 8 Jan 1896. He attended Sam Houston State Teachers College, Huntsville, and later, East Texas State at Commerce, receiving his master's degree from the University of Texas, and the honorary LLD from Howard Payne College. He studied for a time at the University of Dijon in France, after World War I service with the 90th Division, and wore the Purple Heart for injuries during that period. He married Miss Robinson at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R.M. Robinson at Biardstown, 27 Dec 1920, and they taught the nearby Burnett school together for two years. In the spring of 1926, Dr. McLemore taught French before joining the PJC faculty here for the fall term. He became the first president of the Texas Public Junior College Association; headed also the Junior College Athletic Association, the Texas Association of Universities and Colleges, and was treasurer of the Committee on Cooperation between Colleges and Public Schools and was listed in 'Who's Who in America.
