Notes:

According to Melba Gene McLemore, he filed a Federal Land Patent in Jefferson County in 1855.

Melba Gene McLemore also shows that he enlisted as a Private in Co. K, 18th Arkansas Infantry, at Pine Bluff, Arkansas on February 22, 1862. He died in Little Rock Arkansas just two months later, on April 22, 1862. It is possible that he died in a measles epidemic that took place in the Spring of that year.

John married Lucy Lavicia V. Dillahay on 30 Jan 1851 in Hot Springs, Garland County, Arkansas. Lucy was born between 1834 and 1836 in Tennessee; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Melba Gene McLemore shows her as a daughter of Barnet T. DILLEHAY and Lucy WEST.

Notes:

Melba Gene McLemore noted that in both the April 7, 1824 and July 5, 1826 issue of THE VILLAGE MESSENGER, published in Fayetteville, Lincoln County, Tennessee, a Wright M'LEMORE was listed among those for whom dead letters were being held at the Fayetteville Post Office. This makes him very likely a brother of Joel and Sterling McLemore, whose families were in Fayetteville, Tennessee during this same time frame. Joel and Sterling were sons of Sterling and Rebecca McLemore of Fayette County, Kentucky, originally from North Carolina.

It is possible, however, that Wright was instead a son of Wright McLemore and Sarah Ransome of North Carolina.

Melba Gene McLemore has the following Oral Family History from Coy McLemore, born 1940 and living in Sheridan, Arkansas in July, 2005:

"His Daddy (Eluas McLemore) spoke often of his grandfather, Wright McLemore. He said that Wright and a brother came to Arkansas together. Granddaddy Wright stayed in Arkansas, and the other brother left for Lousiana..." (very likely this was Keton Jones McLemore, born ca 1809 in Kentucky and living in Sabine Parish, Louisiana at the time of the 1850 census). Coy didn't recall were the McLemore's lived prior to Arkansas, but reported that the family was Scoth/Irish.

Dolores McLemore McKee reports that all three of Wright's sons died as a result of the Civil War, and that his sons all left children to be raised by their mothers and family members.

Wright appears to have died prior the 1850 census enumeration. The children from his first family can be found living a few households away from his later wife, Jane.

Y DNA Results, FTDNA Haplogroup:

R1b

A direct male descendant volunteered to have his DNA tested. The results can be found at www.ysearch.org, under the user ID #ag2C5. The FamilyTreeDNA kit number is 87115.

The descendant was a participant in the Morrison DNA study. His DNA was a high definition match to two other McLemore's (not previously proven to be related), as well as to a McElmurry from Kentucky. See the results for Group O at the following website:

http://www.geneticousins.com/morrison/

The McLemore's that he matched were (1) a descendant of Keton Jones McLemore, born in Kentucky and living in Sabine Parish, Louisiana in 1850 (they were one step removed at 25 markers); and (2) a descendant of John McLemore, born 1822 in North Carolina and living in Decatur County, Georgia in 1850 (they were two steps removed at 25 markers).
The different markers, in each case, were rapidly mutuating.

According to FamilytreeDNA in Houston, the probability that the two DNA donors share a common ancestor, is as follows:

In comparing 25 markers, the probability of sharing a common ancestor within the last...

4 generations is
27.54%
8 generations is
58.22%
12 generations is
78.24%
16 generations is
89.3%
20 generations is
94.93%
24 generations is
97.66%

In addition to this above matches, the Wright McLemore descendant also matches to two proven descendants of Abraham Macklemore, the immigrant, and John McLemore, born 1762, the Revolutionary soldier who left descendants in Knox County, Tennessee; Dade County, Missouri; Illinois; Mississippi; and Alabama, and a McElmurry of Kentucky.

Each of these matches, including the McElmurry, can be found indexed in these files.

The members of R1b are believed to be the descendants of the first modern humans who entered Europe about 35,000-40,000 years ago. Those R1b forebearers were the people who painted the beautiful art in the caves in Spain and France. They were the contemporaries (and perhaps exterminators) of the European Neanderthals. R1b is the most common Y haplogroup in Europe - more than half of men of European descent belong to R1b. Fourteen of the 30 most common haplotypes in the YSTR.org database are typical of R1b.
