Notes:

Based on the 1860 census, Amos appears to have been born ca. 1813.

Amos was said to be the son of Raiford McLemore by researcher Robert McLemore Butler. However, based on the 1820 and 1830 Sampson County, NC census enumeration, Raiford did not appear to have any sons that were this age. Additionally, Raiford McLemore appears to have also been the father or otherwise closely associated with an Amos McLemore who was born ca 1845. Finally, in the Division of the lands of Raiford McLemore, done ca 1864, Amos was not mentioned.

Due to all of these factors, it seems unlikely to me that Amos was a son of Raiford McLemore. It would therefore seem likely a that he was actually the son of one of Raiford's three older brothers, Hezekiah, Henry or Tobias.

Very little is known about the makeup of HEZEKIAH's family. It appears that Hezekiah may have died sometime after 1813 when his last land transaction in Sampson County is recorded. It is possible, however, that he left surviving children in or around Sampson County. It is also possible that he moved away from North Carolina, presumably taking his family with him. James L. McLemore, III thinks it a strong possibility that Hezekiah moved to South Carolina, where he died ca. 1818. Based on naming patterns, however, it seems Hezekiah was more likely the father of Raiford McLemore, born ca 1815 than of Amos, born ca 1813. It is possible, however, that he was the father of Amos.

HENRY had a son that was born between 1810 and 1820, and therefore he could be the father of Amos McLemore. Henry's family was in Bladen County, which was adjacent to Sampson County, at the time of the 1820 and 1830 census. Additionally, in 1870, a deed shows that Amos & Jemima McLemore sold property in Sampson County that was described as "Beginning at a stake on the old Pond two pines as pointers below his old house, whence with Henry McLEMORE's line...." That Amos's land adjoined land once owned by Henry adds weight to this possibility. However, James L. McLemore, III has ruled out Henry due to a Will filed by Henry in Georgia, and Amos is NOT included in his list of children by either of his two wives. Henry's sons born between 1910 and 1915 appear to have been John Wright McLemore and Wilson McLemore, and therefore Henry could not have been the father of Amos.

Finally, TOBIAS McLemore, was also listed as having a son born between 1810 and 1815. By process of elimination, Tobias seems to be the most likely fit as being the father of Amos, unless of course Amos was the son of Hezekiah and Raiford, also born ca 1810-1815, was the son of Tobias.

Based on all of the above, it is assumed that Amos is the son of Tobias, and Raiford the son of Hezekiah. Further proof should be sought out to support both assumptions.
