  1. 1.  Richard McLemore was born on 21 Sep 1798 in South Carolina; died on 11 Aug 1881 in Meridian, Lauderdale County, Mississippi; was buried in McLemore Cemetery, Meridian, Lauderdale County, Mississippi.

    Notes:

    Meridian, the capital of Lauderdale county, is situated 140 miles east of the Mississippi river, from Vicksburg, and 15 miles west of the State of Alabama; being on the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, 135 miles above Mobile. It claims a population of 25,000 and is growing rapidly. The Alabama Great Southern, New Orleans & Northeastern and Alabama & Vicksburg railroads have their terminals at this point. Its location, about 1854, was the result of the proposed crossing of the Mobile & Ohio by the Alabama & Vicksburg, then known as the Vicksburg & Montgomery railroad.
    Cotton and corn fields occupied its present site, surrounded by oak and pine forests over clay hills and bottom lands of the head waters of the Chickasawhay. Richard McLemore possessed most of the lands and his plantation home was the only notable residence in the vicinity. So little did the M.& O. regard the point for a while, that it was with difficulty persuaded to put in even a switch for a flag station; and when it did, called the place "Sowashee Station," from a creek near by.
    L.A. Ragsdale, meanwhile, had brought out R.McLemore, and John T. Ball had purchased a tract of 80 acres, and both parties immediately began to lay off town lots. They were the pioneers. Mr. Ragsdale's plat was for "Ragsdale City;" Mr. Ball's for "Meridian," he having first secured a postoffice by that name.

    Notes:

    Rev. William P. McLemore, in a section on his website devoted to notable McLemore's (Website: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/3476/mclem1.htm), has the following biography:

    Caleb Hill McLemore was born in Covington, MS, in January, 1829, and is the fourth of a family of nine children. His father, Richard McLemore, was a native of North Carolina, and removed from that state to Tennessee with his parents when but a boy. He remained at home, assisting in the care of his family until he was twenty-one years of age. He then came to Mississippi and was married in Covington County, in August 1821 (sic), to Nancy P. Hill. They had born to them two sons and seven daughters. Capt. McLemore was twenty-one years of age when he began to till the soil and raise livestock. He located in Lauderdale county, and there were few older residents than he. He was married in his twenty-fourth year to Mrs. L. C. Brown, widow of John Brown, of Clarke county, MS. Seven children were born of this union. In 1802 (sic), he enlisted in Company I, Thirty-seventh Mississippi Volunteer Infantry, and was in the arm of the Tennessee. When his captain was killed, he was promoted to the position, which he held during the remainder of the war. After the declaration of peace, he returned to his home in Lauderdale county and resumed the pursuit of agriculture on the place where he now lives. Captain McLemore was a member of the Masonic fraternity for nearly thirty years, and a Knight of Honor. He also belonged to the Farmers' Alliance. (Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Mississippi, Volume II, 1891).

    In a biography of his son-in-law, E. J. Martin, it was noted that Captain McLemore" served during the entire course of the war, while he took part in every battle in which his command was engaged, including the battles around Cornith and in the Georgia campaign from Dalton as well as battles of Franklin, Nashville and Shiloh."

It was brought here by ox cart from Mobile by Richard McLemore for his daughter (sic) Ines (Mrs. Ines McLemore Parker), who was Mrs. Yarbrough's mother. The cradle, finished in simple spooled effect with a canopied cover, was quite a novelty and attracted visitors from miles around. Mrs. Yarbrough presently has it stored at Hickory."
