Notes:

Ann and Eldon McLemore show him as a son of John McLemore and Winnie Baltice of South Carolina and Mississippi. They further show the children of John and Winnie as being Wesley, Reuben, Matthew, Dorcus, John, and Robert.

Wesley McLemore and John McLemore both did live in Scott County, Mississippi at the time of the 1850 census, and both were born in South Carolina, but no other links connecting them have yet been proven. Additionally, Wesley was 21 years older than John. If related, they could as likely be father and son or Uncle and nephew as siblings.

Reuben (b. 1805), Matthew (b. 1808) and Dorucs (b. 1811) were also all born in South Carolina. They are also markedly older than John, and living in Copiah County, MS (several counties distant) versus Scott County. Again, no other links have been proven between them and John.

Nothing more is currently known about Robert.

The email thread below also indicates that John's parentage is still in doubt:

John McLemore of Morton,Scott,Miss
LindaMcLemore55 Posted: 11 Aug 2003 8:38AM

I'm trying to find the lineage of John McLemore born about 1823 South Carolina. He is found on the 1860 Census of Morton,Scott,Miss. His wife is named Anna and is about 38. Actually, I'm not sure if John was 37 or 57, but I've been lead to believe he was born about 1823. The brothers named for him that was sent to me have them being born around the 1802... area. They are supposidly Wesley;Reubin; Matthew, Robert & Dorcus. Born from 1802 thru 1811 except for John.

John and Annas children are: William, Henry R., Mary J. , Andrew P., Eliza, Nancy (Melvina?) Martha F., and John W. All supposidly born in Ms from 1842 to 1864.

I know this is sketchy, but I'm desperate. Just can't prove anything prior to 1860. I've been told that Johns mother was a Winnie Baltice ... but, I cannot find her. Johns father is also supposed to be a John ... but, I can't find him with the information I've been given. Does anyone know of this branch of McLemores? I just need to know how they connect and if possible, where to find them. I'd also like to know more on this Winnie as she's supposed to be 1/2 Choctaw.

The only other John McLemore in that area that I've found prior to this just lists him on the slave schedule as an owner, but gives no mention of his family. This was in 1850. Can anyone help me with this particular John?

Don't remember if we exchanged notes before, but Nancy Vinnie Batiste is my ggg-grandmother. As far as I can tell, she was mostly Choctaw with some French blood (from the French-Canadian Batiste family who settled in Mobile, it is thought). She was born 1794, probably in MS. She married Moses McLemore about 1814, probably in MS, and did have a son named John, but not the John you are looking for. Her son was John Thomas McLemore. b. Mar 1817 in Wayne Co MS and d. Nov 1863 Copiah Co MS. He married first Agnes Smith, and second Rebecca Rogers.

Thanks for responding. I'm at a loss as to where my husbands John McLemore and Anna descend from. My father in law was only about 3 when his father Andrew Pinkney McLemore died. What information I have is sketchy. Lots of rumors, but you know how rumors go. Once again ... thanks for responding. Linda

A direct male descendant of John McLemore was a participant in the Morrison DNA study. The kit number was 35844, and this DNA was a high definition match to two other McLemore's (not previously proven to be related), as well as with a McElmurry from Kentucky

See the results for Group O at the following website:

http://www.geneticousins.com/morrison/

John McLemore descendant was an exact 25 marker match to John McLemore, born 1822, in North Carolina, with descendants later settling in the area of Jasper/Newton/Sabine counties, Texas; Wright McLemore and Keton Jones McLemore who lived in adjoining households at the time of the 1830 Richland County, Arkansas and whose descendants also later settled in Texas.

According to FamilytreeDNA in Houston, the probability that the two DNA donors share a common ancestor, is as follows:

In comparing 25 markers, the probability of sharing a common ancestor within the last...

4 generations is
27.54%

12 generations is

16 generations is

20 generations is

24 generations is

In addition to this above matches, the Wright McLemore, John McLemore, and Keton Jones McLemore descendants were also matches to two proven descendants of Abraham Macklemore, the immigrant, and John McLemore, born 1762, the Revolutionary soldier who left descendants in Knox County, Tennessee; Dade County, Missouri; Illinois; Mississippi; and Alabama.

Each of these matches, including the McElmurry, can be found indexed in these files.

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.

John married Annie Grice before 1842. Annie was born about 1822 in Mississippi; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
