Wesley McLemore

Notes:

Ann and Eldon McLemore say that he was born in Barnwell Co, SC, to John McLemore and Winnie Baltice, and show his siblings as Reuben McLemore, Matthew McLemore, Dorcus McLemore, John McLemore and Robert McLemore.

Reuben, Matthew and Dorcus, close in age to Wesley, were in Copiah County, MS versus Scott County, MS, at the time of the 1850 and/or 1860 census. Copiah is not adjacent to Scott County, but is nearby. They were all close in age to Wesley, and all born also born in South Carolina.

It is possible they are siblings, or otherwise related to Wesley, but this has not been proven. There is also no proof of who his parents might be.

John McLemore was also in Scott County, MS at the time of the 1850 census, and also born in South Carolina. However he is 21 years younger than Wesley. If related, he could be a much younger brother, or even a son or nephew. Again, no proof has been found linking John to either parents or siblings.

Ann and Eldon McLemore further note that he married Mahaly in 1811 in South Carolina, was said to be listed on the 1845 census of Rankin Co, MS, and that Wesley and Mahala Ann McLemore sold land in Scott Co, MS to Wm. A. Hutson on 21 Jan 1859. Both signed with their mark.

The marriage date of 1811 must be incorrect based on the ages of Wesley and Mahala.
