James R. McLemore

Notes:

Shown on the 1850 U.S. Census in Nansemond County, Virginia. Apparently Eliza died within a few years of the census, and this Nansemond County James remarried, as in 1858 he gave a deed (later destroyed in the 1866 Nansemond County Court House fire), and in 1870 he gave a certificate confirming title, to Daniel BROTHERS (in which James's wife Virginia joined) for 153 acres in or near Dismal Swamp (Nansemond Deed Book 5, p. 310; recorded February 28, 1876). (James L. McLemore, III, p. 65).

James married Eliza Gay on 20 Dec 1837 in Isle Of Wight County, Virginia. Eliza was born about 1818 in Isle Of Wight County, Virginia; died after 1850 in Nansemond County, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

James married Susanna Blake. Susanna was born after 1794; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
This is assumed to be the James McLemore who married Susanna (or Susan) Blake, a minor for whose marriage consent was given by Stephen BLAKE (her father?), with security on the bond provided by John WOMMACK (a kinsman of the groom), said bond being issued December 12, 1812 (Southampton Marriage Register, p. 223). (James L. McLemore, III. p. 65).

Notes:

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.

John married Rebecca Womack before 1788. Rebecca was born before 1768; died before 1794. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Probably the daughter of Thomas WOMMACK. (James L. McLemore, III, p. 63).

In February 1800 John received bequests as guardian of his four children from the estate of Thomas WOMMACK. (James L. McLemore, p. 64).
