Elizabeth Spence

Notes:

Her sister Sarah, was married to Thomas CLIFTON, the Clifton's and McLemore's being neighbors.

When Elizabeth's father, William SPENCE died in early 1758, his will left all of his land to another daughter, Mary, and left his son-in-law John five shillings, apparently for Elizabeth. Other bequests were made to SPENCE's son John and to (daughter?) Lucy POWELL, with Simon TURNER Sr. named as executor. (Southampton Will Book 1, p. 240). John McLemore sued his father-in-law's estate, receiving a conditional judgement on October 12, 1758 (Southampton Order Book 2, p. 460), which matured at the next term of court into a full judgement on November 9, 1758 (Order Book 2, p. 469). A jury was ordered impaneled to hear the issue of damages only, and they did so on January 12, 1759, finding for him in the amount of 12 pounds, 5 shillings, 9 pence, 3 farthings (Order Book 2, p. 483). (James L. McLemore, III, p. 60).

Note that William Spence's executor, Simon Turner, own will dated July 7, 1761, was witnessed by Thomas Clifton (husband of Sarah McLEMORE), John McLEMORE, Jr., Elizabeth McLEMORE (John's wife), and Mary SPENCE.

Family/Spouse: John McLemore, Jr.. John (son of John Macklemore and Faith ???) was born between 1719 and 1720 in Virginia; died about 1783 in Southampton County, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
