Notes:

Married:
In 1777 William Harrison, son of Henry Harrison (died 1755) and grandson of Benjamin Harrison II (died 1712) of the James River Harrisons, mentioned in his will his sister, Sarah McLEMORE, among his other siblings (Henry, Jr., Benjamin, Richard and Nathaniel---Southampton Will Book 3, p. 172). There was only one McLemore in Southside Virginia who could have been Sarah's husband, and this would have been William McLemore Jr. Although it would appear that this couple would be a natural for being the parents of Harrison McLemore (died 1822), it is chronologically far more likely that they were his grandparents, as he was at least two generations younger. (James L. McLemore, III, p. 52).
