    I have ASSUMED that based on the 1900 Limestone County, Alabama Census, McLin is the son of the Joel H. McLemore of Limestone/Lauderdale Alabama , a son of Maclin B. McLemore. Maclin B.'s son Joel is the correct age, continued to live in proximity to his parents and siblings, and seemed to have named his son after his father. Additionally, McLin's widow is living next to a Maclin B. McLemore at the time of the 1930 census. This older Maclin B. McLemore would have been a brother to Joel H. McLemore and Uncle to McLin. However, MaryLynn Santa shows McLins' father as Joel Henry, whereas the Joel H. McLemore of Limestone/Lauderdale might actually be Joel Halbert McLemore.

    Other researchers have not drawn a conclusion as to the parentage of Joel H. McLemore, so my conclusion may be premature, and further work should be done to prove this. It might instead be possible that McLin is instead the son of Joel H. McLemore of Hickman County, TN, and grandson of Joel McLemore Sr and his wife Harriet McLearen. The location and age of this other Joel H. McLemore, however, are not as good of a match.

  1. 8.  Maclin B. "Bass" McLemore was born about 1805 in Tennessee (son of Burwell McLemore, Jr. and Mary Glover); died between 1864 and 1870 in Alabama.

    Notes:

    "One day [John McLemore]...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. Legend has it that Maclin was never heard from again." (The Heritage of Lauderdale County, Alabama, p. 347).

    He built a dogtrot house with one side log and the other frame, surrounded by large trees and log dependencies in an ideal rural setting. When Maclin McLemore returned from the ardous task of piloting boats over the treacherouse Tennessee River Shoals, he liked to prop his feet up in comfort. He found that comfortable place in the story-and-a-half dogtrot house which he built around the time of his marriage in 1843. (The Lure and Lore of Limestone County, p. 147)
