1. | John Alvin McLemore was born on 10 Mar 1885 in Somervell County, Texas (son of James Gabriel McLemore and Emma Smith); died on 15 Dec 1959 in Stephenville, Erath County, Texas; was buried in Tolar Cemetery, Hood County, Texas. Notes:
An actual copy of his Texas Death Certificate can be seen online at FamilySearch.org, Texas Deaths, 1890-1976. He is shown as a son of James McLemore and Emma Smith. It is ASSUMED that the James McLemore that is his father is a son of Young Leander McLemore, as another son of Young Leander, John Wesley, was also in Somervell County around this time period. This should be verified through an obituary or census records. John Alvin was listed as born in Somervell County. His residence at the time of his death was Tolar, and his occupation was farming. He was married, and the informant was his wife, Mrs. J. A. McLemore.
When he registered for the draft during World War I, he was a resident of Sommervell County. His DOB was instead shown as 11 Mar 1884.

8. | Archibald McLemore was born on 11 Mar 1787 in North Carolina (son of John McLemore, Revolutionary Soldier and Sarah Carnes); died between 1830 and 1835 in Monroe County, Tennessee. Notes:
A photo of a double tombstone for Archibald and Sarah Plumlee can be seen on FindAGrave, in the Click Cemetery, Madisonville, Monroe, Tennessee. However, it appears to be a comtemporary marker, probably placed sometime well after their deaths. Additionally, the dates of birth and death, at least for Archibald, are not correct. A photo of this marker can be seen here:
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=38295337&PIpi=18611681
The dates on this headstone for Archibald are listed as 1767-1829.
1767 is the approximate date of birth of another Archibald McLemore, the progenitor of the Sampson/Duplin line, and not the Archibald McLemore that lived in Knox County, Tennessee. A biography of a A. J. McLemore, a son of Archibald McLemore of Knox County, states that his father Archibald was born "on March 11, 1787."
Additionally, it appears that Archibald was alive in 1829, most likely dying in the mid 1830's.
Tom Heseltine, who is descended from Archibald McLEMORE and Sarah PLUMLEY of Knox Co emailed, in June, 2009 that "Most available information, including the 1917 Dade Co MO book, the 1889 Goodspeed book, and the obituary of Archibald McLEMORE jr., all state that Archibald McLEMORE and wife Sarah PLUMLEY died ca 1824/1825. This is curious since their son Wesley was born 1827 and the youngest son Andrew Jackson was born 1828. And, the 1830 Knox Co TN census lists one Archibald McLEMORE with the correct number of young sons and a female the correct age to be his wife. I strongly suspect that the family story about their deaths has been miscalculated by at least 5 years and, most probably, 10 years."
Eddie Maynard agrees with Tom, but has a more specific estimate of the date of death, putting it about 1832: "If you combine the two Bios for his sons Andrew Jackson and for Archibald Jr, it sort of make sense for Archibald Sr's death date. Since Andrew knew his father's birth date, he must have had a Bible or source to have known the complete date....very often people would just say the year or he was about 45 when he died. BUT, since Andrew knew the complete date, I think he really did know. Next, I do think that Archibald Jr knew the age of his father's death of 45. So, if you take the date of 1787 and add 45...Archibald Sr died in 1832...which does make more sense. Archibald Jr says his father died in 1825 which we know had to be wrong since Andrew was born in 1829 and Archibald is on the 1830 Monroe County, TN census. Also, Archibald Jr says that he went to live with his brother Abram as a young man and in 1827 was part of the "posse" to gather the Cherokee for the Trail of Tears....it couldn't be 1827, it was 1837-38. Now, if Archibald J r(B.1817) is a young man when he went to live with his brother...he would have been - 20 at that time he went on the "posse". If his father died in 1832, Archibald Jr would have been only 15 and probably did live with his brother Abram. Archibald Sr couldn't have lived much later than 1832 because then Archibald Jr would have been an adult and probably wouldn't have needed to live with his brother since the children inherited land in Monroe."
