Notes:

Said by Tom Heselting to have been "born 9 March 1783, married Nancy PLUMLEE, moved to Illinois." Said by some, including Tom, to have the middle name ATKINS.

A photo of his tombstone is on findagrave.com. It is inscribed Young McLemore, Died Feb. 20, 1841 aged 57 years, 9 months and 11 days. Based on the date of death inscribed on his tombstone, plus the his age at death, he would have actually been born May 9, 1783.

There is also some unsourced biographical detail on the findagrave website, as follows:

Young married Nancy Ann Plumley abt 1811 in Knox Co., TN.
They had 5 (sic) children; John, Priscilla, William, Abigail (Archibald???) and Mary Ellen.

Young was a farmer. In Sept of 1835 he purchased 40 acres of land in Sangamon Co., IL 17N-5W section 27. In Sept 1839 he purchased an additional 40 acres 17N-5W section 29.

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=30823276

John Stromberger writes that Young was as itinerant Methodist minister and a teacher in a circuit that included Illinois, Tennessee, and Kentucky.

Thank you so much for the Cantral information. We (my family) had no idea how the Cantrals were related to each other.

I can give you the information that I have on the children of Young McLemore and Nancy Ann Plumly.

Priscilla McLemore was one of the nine children of Young McLemore b:1781 (son of John McLemore b:1762 d:6/30/1844 and Sarah Carner (or Carver) b: 1764 and Nancy Ann Plumly.

Young and Nancy's children were:

Martha Matilda McLemore married to Harmonas Alkire
Children:

Mary Ann
James Young
Margaret
Caroline
William
Daniel Dickson
Albert Harmonas
Priscilla
Martha
Lee (I have also been told Leander) who died at age 18

John McLemore married to Eliza Cantral
Children:

Lucinda
Clarence

William Harvey McLemore married to Rachel Smith (my line)
Children:

James Monroe
Joseph
William Young (my great grandfather)
Mary Ann
Sarah Ellen
Robert Jerome

Priscilla McLemore married to Thomas Cantral
Children:

Clarisa
Turner
Young
Francis
Thomas
Mary
Nancy

Archibald McLemore-never married

Ellen McLemore married to David Cantral
Children:

Young
Lucinda

Mary McLemore married to William Stone
Children:

Young
Betty
Nancy Ann

James McLemore-never married

Joseph McLemore-never married

I also have a listing of Martha Matilda and Harmonas Alkire's children, their spouses and Martha and Harmonas' grandchildren. I also have information on William Young McLemore's children and his marriages(his first wife died about three months after their wedding) since my line is through William Young McLemore, son of William Harvey McLemore, grandson of Young McLemore.

I am interested in any information that you could give me on the McLemores and the Cantrals, especially where I can find documentation of these ancestors. My information comes from a geneaology and papers compiled by my Great Aunt Harriet McLemore Middleton (b:1887). She was a daughter of William Young McLemore and older sister to my grandfather Homer McLemore who was killed accidentally in 1915.

James Alkire (jnjalkire@sbcglobal.net) shows they as the parents of (1) John W. McLemore, born 1812 TN and died Aug 1871 Sterling, Whiteside Il; (2) Priscilla D. McLemore born 1814 TN and died May 1847 in Sangamon, married to Thomas Carsey CANTRALL, the son of Levi Cantrall. They were said to be the parents of Young M. CANTRALL, born 1838 in Sangamon, IL and died 1 July 1863 at Vicksburg, MS. (3) Abigail McLemore born 1820 TN and died 1861 and (4) Mary Ellen McLemore born 1826 and died Feb 1856, Athens, IL. James also shows that Young, by an unknown wife, had two additonal children, L. E. McLemore and Hinton McLemore. As these children were reported to be born after Young's death in 1841, this is not likely.
