Charles McLemore: Strong McLemore Ancestry

Generation: 1

Charles McLemore was born between 1756 and 1769 in Albemarle Parish, Sussex County, Virginia; died in Oct 1818 in Sussex County, Virginia.

Notes:

James L. McLemore, III writes that "Charles received the second third of his father Burwell's plantation. Charles married Lucy ROWE, daughter of John ROWE...He died just over twenty years later, and his will dated July 29, 1818, was admitted to probate in Sussex County on October 15, 1818 (Sussex Will Book H, p. 527). In it he named five children: Richard McLemore, who married Mildred A. BRITT....and who owned (and mortgaged) land in Greensville County; William S. McLemore, who sold his share in his father's estate in 1826 (Sussex Deed Book P, p. 23), and disappears from the records (presumably moving away); Mary Ann McLemore, who married Jesse SLEDGE...; Martha McLemore who married James DUNN of Greensville County...her brother William S. acting as security on their bond...and Frances L. "Fanny" McLemore, who was married to Thomas NEWTON... Charles' widow Lucy was left all property for her lifetime with which to raise and educate the children until the youngest turned 21. She herself died intestate in about 1838 (Southampton Order Book 18, p. 459)."

James L. McLemore suspected, due to Charles's baptism information not being recorded in the Albermarle Parish Register, that Charles was one of the younger sons of Burwell and Amy, born in the late 1760's or early 1770's.

However, Jim White (jim4@whitesnet.net) emailed that "Charles McLemore was born before 1760, administered his father's estate - He married twice, 1st, Hardy Sammons December 30, 1783 - He had several children by her. He did marry as his 2nd wife, Lucy Rowe, October 16, 1797."

Charles married Lucy Rowe on 16 Oct 1797 in Southampton County, Virginia. Lucy was born before 1777; died about 1838 in Southampton County, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
