Louisa Alabama "Louizer" McLemore

Notes:

Some transcriptions of the Taylor Cemetery instead listed her date of birth as 1850, but that appears to be an error as she was age 4 on the 1860 census.

Melba Gene McLemore found a book titled "Proceedings of the Fifty-Ninth Annual Sessio of the Alabama Baptist Association," which recorded the activities of the delegates from the churches that met at the church at Pine Level, Montgomery county, at 11 o'clock on Friday, October 11, 1878. Eld. McQueen presented the report of the Committee on Documents, and included in this report was that "Elim church (Montgomery county) reports the death of Deacon Moses McLemore." (page 7). A few pages later, in a report on obituaries "Since the last session of this body, four of the faithful workers in the Master's cause-Deacons R. H. Lee, Thomas W. Dunklin, F. L. Ellis, and Moses McLemore-have left our ranks for a purer clime. They have finished the work assigned them to do on the earth, and their light spirits have taken "homeward flight" to the land of rest. These all died in the faith, as they had lived, and haivng "used the office of Deason well," have "purchased to themselves a "good degree and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus." "Blessed are the deat that die in the Lord, yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors."

Resolved, first, that we bow in humble submission to this dispensation of God's providence...

Resolved, second, that we tender our heartfelt sympathies to the families of our lamented brethren, praying that the smiles of Heavan may settle on them.

Respectfully submitted,
B. A. Jackson, Chm'n

Notes:

In 1769 we find a James McLemore and three taxable whites listed in Granville County, North Carolina. This was probably James III, his wife Elizabeth, and their two oldest children. A year later (1770) "James McLemore Sr." (James Jr.) took an oath in Granville, and the use of the Sr. indicated the presence of a namesake son (James III), who was probably the subject of the above mentioned tax list reference the year before. James III would have been about thirty at this point. Then, in 1772 a James is mentioned in the will of Robert WALLACE, but it is unclear which one of the two is meant. However, the James McLemore who signed the (subsequent?) Granville County Oath of Allegience on May 30, 1778, was most probably James III, then about age 39.

James McLemore, Jr. (III) bought land from Benjamin McCULLOH in Granville County in 1779. The use of "Jr." indicates that his father may still have been living.

Futher references to James McLemore in Granville County probably refer to this James McLemore, or to his son, the Rev. James McLemore (1782-1834). Father and son moved to Hancock County, Georgia, after 1803, where the elder James died in 1811. His children were subsequently named in the will of his brother, Charles McLemore who died in Georgia as well in 1815. Charles had no children and named as his heirs James's children: John, William, James Jr. (IV), Rebecca Jones, Pleasant and Jesse. James' widow, Elizabeth, was named as executrix.

(James L. McLemore, III, pp 49, 50).

James + Elizabeth Walker. Elizabeth was born before 1758 in Granville County, North Carolina; died after 1815 in Hancock County, Georgia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
