A. L. McLemore

Notes:

He appears to have died young, as he is not listed with his mother or older siblings on the 1880 census, when he would have been approximately 14 years old.

(Medical):A direct male descendant, still bearing the McLemore surname, participated in the Morrison yDNA study. He was predicted to be in the R1a haplogroup, common in many parts of Eurasia and Scandanavia. However, he does not currently have any matches among the other 15 members with the McLemore surname in the study. It is possible that there were several founding McLemore lines, instead of just one as has been long assumed. Or another possibility could be that undisclosed adoptions have occurred through the generations of descendants of both James and/or Abraham.

Andrew married Sarah Caroline Smith on 8 Nov 1854 in Lowndes County, Alabama. Sarah was born on 18 Apr 1831 in Orangeburg County, South Carolina; died on 24 Mar 1915 in Montgomery County, Alabama; was buried in McLemore Taylor Burying Ground, Montgomery County, Alabama.

Marriage Book 2, Lowndes County Alabama
Jan. 18, 1843 - Nov. 01, 1855

These marriages records were first compiled from "Lowndes Court House," by Mildred Brewer Russell and/or the Lowndes County Historical and Genealogical Society's newsletters over the years. I then went to the microfilm available through the LDS (Morman) Church Family History Library and compared to the original marriage books. What is here is what was in the marriage books. As with Mrs. Russell's book and the newsletter, there are bound to be mistakes. Check the original books on microfilm to make sure of the information. I would appreciate any corrections you find in the marriage books so I can make those
corrections here.

Notes:

The younger James (IV), a minister, died in 1834 in Alabama, leaving a widow Mary Elizabeth (Harper) and ten children. (James L. McLemore, III, p 50).

"Born in North Carolina and for more than 30 years was a leading divine of the Baptist persuasion. He had finished his pilgrimage on earth and nothing of him now remains but the memory of his virtue."

Melba Gene McLemore notes that the "Alabama Genealogical Register, V. 6, No. 3.4, Sept-Dec 1964 cites a Will for a James McLemore, will dated 31 July 1832, probated 26 Jan 1835.

Mark Freeman lists their children as William, Martha, James, Joseph, Moses, Rebecca, Andrew, Pleasant and Lousia. He does not list Benjamin.

Mary Lynn Santa shows an additional son, John, being the youngest, as opposed to Benjamin.

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