    (Research):Might she be the mother of Burke Bryan, born ca 1867 in Tennessee, and who was living with his grandparents at the time of the 1880 census, and listed as "grandson." Helen would have been 19 at the time of his birth.

    Helen married William L. Wilkes on 12 Oct 1871 in Williamson County, Tennessee. William was born about 1846; died about 1915; was buried in Mount Hope Cemetery, Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Thomas Burke Bond was born on 2 Jul 1809 in Tennessee; died on 16 Oct 1887 in Tennessee.

    Notes:

    Said to be the son of William BOND and Frances Wilson DOHERTY of North Carolina and Tennessee.

    There appears to have also been a younger Thomas Burke Bond with a connection the the McLemore family. Tennessee Death records for William McLemore Bond, born 28 Jun 1904, in TN and died 23 Sep 1936 in Nashville, TN, show him as a son of Thomas B. Bond and Mary McLemore. As Mark Freeman shows Thomas Burke Bond having died in 1887, and since William McLemore Bond was born when Thomas Burke Bond would have been 95, it is likely another Thomas B. Bond who was his father.

    This would make him the brother of Eliza Mary Bond, listed below.

    Eliza Mary Bond was born to Frances Doherty and William Bond, in 1805. She attended school in Fayetteville, N.C., in 1821; otherwise, she spent most of her youth in Hillsborough. She moved to Greensboro, Ala., in 1834. Following the death of her husband, she moved with her son, George Doherty Johnston, and her aunt, Mary Burke, to Marion, Ala., where she later married Leonard Weissinger. Eliza Mary Bond Johnston Weissinger died in 1875.

    Mary Williams Burke was born in 1782, in Warren County, N.C., to Mary Freeman and Thomas Burke. She taught school in Hillsborough, N.C,, starting in 1810. In 1834, she moved with her niece, Eliza Mary Bond Johnston, to Greensboro, Ala. Burke and her niece later moved to Marion, Ala., where she continued teaching and tutoring until her death in 1869. She never married.
    George Mulhollan Johnston was born in 1800. Johnston was a merchant in Hillsborough with business connections throughout the state. In 1831 or 1832, he married Eliza Mary Bond. In August 1834, with his wife and her aunt, Mary Williams Burke, he moved to Greensboro, Ala., where he died in September.

    Notes:

    Mark Freeman has the following information posted on his website relating to Atkins Jefferson McLemore:

    Williamson County Court Records have numerous entries for land and property transactions for A.J. McLemore. Misc. records Williamson county vol.4: 14 Nov 1823 "Atkins J. McLemore sells to William Dabney for the sum of $1000 a tract of land on the waters of West Harpeth . . ." One dated 1 Jan 1847 reads: "Rec'd of A.J. McLemore three hundred and seventy five dollars in full payment for a certain negro girl name Louisa, said negro we warrant sound body and mind, slave for life, and the right and title of said negro we warrant and defend against the lawful claims of all others this 23rd Dec 1846"

    Misc records Williamson county vol 5: "Jesse Taylor, planter, charged with cutting Atkins McLemore, blacksmith, across the abdomen with intent to kill" 17 May 1823

    From "Tennessee Tidbits 1778 - 1914, Vol. I" page 256 "McLemore - 14 July 1828 a report was made by Atkins J. McLemore as guardian of John D. McLemore, Polly M. McLemore, Robt. W. McLemore, and Peggy S. McLemore, minor orphans. (Wll TN, Co Ct Min, 10/55)" These would be his half brothers and sisters from his father Robert's marriage to Margaret S. Dabney.

    From "The Maury Genealogist" by Jill K. Garrett May 1972 page 57 "State vs J.W. Cheairs, merchant, William Beauford, yeoman, Adkins J. McLemore, yeoman, Anderson McLemore, yeoman, Henry P. Pointer, yeoman, Thomas Pointer, yeoman, riot route and unlawful assembly true bill. On 5 June 1845 in Spring Hill they assaulted Robert C. Giddins". Will on file in Williamson County Will Book 9 page 303 dated Aug 1849.

    Atkins married Bethenia Smith Dabney on 7 Sep 1821 in Williamson County, Tennessee. Bethenia was born on 25 Apr 1803 in North Carolina; died on 24 Jul 1857 in Thompson Station, Williamson County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 7.  Bethenia Smith Dabney was born on 25 Apr 1803 in North Carolina; died on 24 Jul 1857 in Thompson Station, Williamson County, Tennessee.

    Notes:

    Jane A. "Xan" Alexander emailed, in November 2011, that Bethenia Dabney was a daughter of John Dabney and Peggy Smith, and sister to the Margaret "Peggy" Dabney who became Atkins stepmother in 1812. Betty Pritchett notes that "Bethenia's father Captain John Dabney was a Revolutionary War soldier."

    Notes:

    Sometimes shown as born in Warrren County versus Bute County.

    Kevin McLemore mclemorek@charter.net descends from this line and shared information on Robert's descendants with Mark Freeman in March 2005, some of which is copied below.

    1790 NC Census Halifax District, Franklin County lists Robert McLemore, 1 free white male 16 years and up and 4 slaves.

    1799 Franklin County Tax List has McLemore, Rob. 2wp, 3bp, 450 ac (this is the parcel he inherited from his father)

    1800 NC Census Franklin County lists Robert McLemore 1 male 10-16, 1 male 16-26, 1 male 26-45, 1 female 16-26, 9 slaves.

    Franklin Co. NC Loose Estates Papers Vol. I has Robert McLemore buyer part of the estate of Benjamin Williams in 1804.

    Equity Bond Docket, 1789-1817, Hillborough District and Orange County, N.C. number 264 lists Robert McLemore place of abode on 19 Apr 1803 as Tennessee.

    Williamson County Deed Abstracts 1799-1811 Deed Book A2 page 91 "Page 378 Indenture 18 Oct 1806 John Spencer and Robert McLemore, $2750 paid, 1 tract on water of Harpeth, 220 acres, tr adj N T Perkins corner"

    1807 Williamson County Tax Book lists McLemore, Robt. 220 acres W. Harp. 1 white 5 blacks.

    "The Reconstructed 1810 Census of Tennessee, 33,000 Long-Lost Records" by Charles A. Sherrill lists:

    McLemore, Robert Williamson County, 1810 Tax List

    From "Maury County Tennessee Newspaper Abstracts 1810-1844" by Jill Knight Jarrett 1965: The Western Chronicle Sat 28 Mar 1812 "Whiskey - The High Bred Stallion will stand the ensuing season. Signed P.R. Booker. Affadavit of R.P. Curras and Robert McLemore of Williamson County".

    Williamson County Deed Book E page 174 Thomas Shute conveyed to Robert McLemore 39 acres of land between Big & West Harpeth Rivers Registered 27th August 1817.

    1820 Tennessee Census: Robert McLemore Williamson County: 2 males under 10, 2 males 10 to 16, 2 males 18 to 26, 1 male 45 and up. 1 female under 10, 1 female 10 to 16, 1 female 26 to 45. 24 slaves.

    There were a couple challenges to Robert's will. One by his widow and her second husband wanting 1/3 of the estate, another by his son John D. McLemore for 1/4 of the slaves.

    Will probated April 1823 Williamson County Will Book 3 page 625.

    Williamson County, Tennessee County Court Minutes, May 1806-April 1812, by Carol Wells, Heritage Books, Inc., p. 176: [Book1, p. 577] "Monday 13th January 1812. Order Nicholas Perkins Senr Daniel Perkins Edward Warren & Robert McLemore any three settle with Hendley Stone gdn of Peter Pryor & Green Pryor orphans of John Pryor decd & report thereof to our ensuing County Court." [Book 1, p. 608] "Tuesday 14th April 1812.Settlement with Hendley Stone guardian of Peter & Green Pryor orphans of John Pryor decd returned."

    Jane A. "Xan" Alexander emailed, in November 2011, that Robert McLemore wrote his will 14 Apr 1822. In his will and the probate file in Williamson County, Tennessee, we find: "beloved wife Peggy and our four children John Dabney McLemore, Polly Minor McLemore, Robert Weakly McLemore, and Peggy Smith McLemore"; "son Atkins J McLemore", "my daughter Bethenia Anne Greene McLemore" In the will he also says "I desire that my worthy friend Daniel Perkins should be guardian to my daughter Bethenia (who is also his granddaughter)". Thus we see that Atkins Jefferson McLemore and Bethenia Anne Greene McLemore were not children of Robert McLemore's last wife Peggy. Jane added that the current wife at the time of his death was Margaret "Peggy" S Dabney, daughter of John Dabney and Peggy Smith and sister to Bethenia Dabney who later married Atkins Jefferson McLemore.

    (Medical):DNA R1b1

    A direct male descendant of Robert McLEMORE is an exact 12 marker Y DNA match to descendants of both John McLEMORE, born 1822 in North Carolina and Keton Jones McLEMORE, born 1809 in Kentucky. This means there is an 80% probability that they share a common ancestor within the last 16 generations, and over a 90% probability that this ancestor occurred within 24 generations.

    Look for Group O. More about John McLemore and Keton Jones McLemore can be found in the index of this file.

    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.
