A 45 year old Duncan McLemore, born ca 1842, was married to Arais McDONALD, age 30, on 9-18-1887 in Cumberland County, North Carolina. It appears the marriage records relates to this Duncan, based on his rather uncommon first name and his age.

This couple can not be found on the census index for 1900.

In 1910, however, a 69 year old Duncan McLemore, born ca 1841 in North Carolina and widowed, is found in the home of Claud [Edward Claudius] and Lena [nee Beard] McLemore of Cumberland County, NC. Ducan was listed as a "Boarder". Claud is a son of Lofton Hayes McLemore, and grandson of Amos McLemore, both of Sampson County, NC.

Finally, A Duncan G. McLemore, age 76 (born ca 1840) Died on 13 Mar 1916 in Cumberland County, NC. This is likely the same Duncan, but not known with certainty.

Notes:

Possibly the brother of Wright McLemore, born ca 1815. Jim McLemore speculates he may be a descendant of Drury McLemore of Bladen County, North Carolina.

He may also be related to descendants of Archibald McLemore of Sampson County, NC, as it appears his Son, Duncan McLemore, was living in Fayetteville, NC in 1910 with Edward Claudius McLemore, a son of Lofton Hayes McLemore, and grandson of Amos McLemore, both of Sampson County, NC.
