Notes:

John W. McLemore was a native of Tennessee, and born in 1808. He came with his father's family to the State of Illinois when quite a child. In 1836 be came to Whiteside, and made a claim in the present township of' Sterlin-g, within a few miles of the present city. Part of this claim, and the one on which be put improvements, now forms a portion of Mr. Weaver's farm. In 1839 he was appointed Deputy Sheriff by James C. Woodburn, the first sheriff of the county, and performed many of the duties of the office. Be was elected Sheriff in 1840, and held the position for two terms, and in 1846 was again elected, holding the office then for one term. He gave general satisfac-tion by the faithful and energetic discharge of his duties. In 1854 he went to California, where he remained fifteen years, and upon his return lived part of the time at Rock Falls, and part at Sterling, until his death, which occurred at the latter place in August, 1871. Mr. McLemore married Miss Eliza Cantrell in 1835. Mrs. McLemore died in Nevada in 1876. Their children are: Lucinda wife of Almanza Merrill, who lives in Nevada; and Clarence, who resides with his family in California.

Notes:

Said by Tom Heselting to have been "born 9 March 1783, married Nancy PLUMLEE, moved to Illinois." Said by some, including Tom, to have the middle name ATKINS.

A photo of his tombstone is on findagrave.com. It is inscribed Young McLemore, Died Feb. 20, 1841 aged 57 years, 9 months and 11 days. Based on the date of death inscribed on his tombstone, plus the his age at death, he would have actually been born May 9, 1783.

There is also some unsourced biographical detail on the findagrave website, as follows:

Young married Nancy Ann Plumley abt 1811 in Knox Co., TN.
They had 5 (sic) children; John, Priscilla, William, Abigail (Archibald???) and Mary Ellen.

Young was a farmer. In Sept of 1835 he purchased 40 acres of land in Sangamon Co., IL 17N-5W section 27. In Sept 1839 he purchased an additional 40 acres 17N-5W section 29.

John Stromberger writes that Young was as itinerant Methodist minister and a teacher in a circuit that included Illinois, Tennessee, and Kentucky.

Thank you so much for the Cantral information. We (my family) had no idea how the Cantrals were related to each other.

I can give you the information that I have on the children of Young McLemore and Nancy Ann Plumly.

Priscilla McLemore was one of the nine children of Young McLemore b:1781 (son of John McLemore b:1762 d:6/30/1844 and Sarah Carner (or Carver) b: 1764 and Nancy Ann Plumly.

Young and Nancy's children were:

Martha Matilda McLemore married to Harmonas Alkire
Children:

Mary Ann
James Young
Margaret
Caroline
William
Daniel Dickson
Albert Harmonas
Priscilla
Martha
Lee (I have also been told Leander) who died at age 18

John McLemore married to Eliza Cantral
Children:

Lucinda
Clarence

William Harvey McLemore married to Rachel Smith (my line)
Children:

James Monroe
Joseph
William Young (my great grandfather)
Mary Ann
Sarah Ellen
Robert Jerome

Priscilla McLemore married to Thomas Cantral
Children:

Clarisa
Turner
Young
Francis
Thomas
Mary
Nancy

Archibald McLemore-never married

Ellen McLemore married to David Cantral
Children:

Young
Lucinda

Mary McLemore married to William Stone
Children:

Young
Betty
Nancy Ann

James McLemore-never married

Joseph McLemore-never married

I also have a listing of Martha Matilda and Harmonas Alkire's children, their spouses and Martha and Harmonas' grandchildren. I also have information on William Young McLemore's children and his marriages(his first wife died about three months after their wedding) since my line is through William Young McLemore, son of William Harvey McLemore, grandson of Young McLemore.

I am interested in any information that you could give me on the McLemores and the Cantrals, especially where I can find documentation of these ancestors. My information comes from a geneaology and papers compiled by my Great Aunt Harriet McLemore Middleton (b:1887). She was a daughter of William Young McLemore and older sister to my grandfather Homer McLemore who was killed accidentally in 1915.

James Alkire (jnjalkire@sbcglobal.net) shows they as the parents of (1) John W. McLemore, born 1812 TN and died Aug 1871 Sterling, Whiteside Il; (2) Priscilla D. McLemore born 1814 TN and died May 1847 in Sangamon, married to Thomas Carsey CANTRALL, the son of Levi Cantrall. They were said to be the parents of Young M. CANTRALL, born 1838 in Sangamon, IL and died 1 July 1863 at Vicksburg, MS. (3) Abigail McLemore born 1820 TN and died 1861 and (4) Mary Ellen McLemore born 1826 and died Feb 1856, Athens, IL. James also shows that Young, by an unknown wife, had two additonal children, L. E. McLemore and Hinton McLemore. As these children were reported to be born after Young's death in 1841, this is not likely.

Notes:

Wyatt was born December 20, 1790 in Bath County, KY., the same year that his parents moved from Bote tourt County, VA. He married Sally England and moved to Clarke County, OH., where they had three children. They then moved in company with her father, Stephen England, to St. Clair County, IL., in the fall of 1819, and in the spring of 1819, they built homes in what is now Fancy Creek, township in Sangamon County, IL., where they had six children. Wyatt and Levi lived on adjoining farms just north of Cantrall, IL. Taken from the book "The Cantrell Family" by Carmi G. Cantrell.
There Wyatt remained until after the death of his wife, Sally, on August 1, 1840. In the fall of 1841, he married Mrs. Polly Kingsbury, whose maiden name was Foster. She died about 1859.


Wyatt came to Whiteside County, IL "in 1836 and located near Sterling. He made claim of the prairie in the bend of the river, and also of the large island in Rock River, long since known as Cantrell's Island, upon which there was a large growth of timber. In 1838 he built a mill on the rapids of Rock River, getting his power by making adam of loose stones ............ It was at this mill that the people on the east and south side of Whiteside and the north side of Henry and Bureau Counties had their grists ground for ten years.
Mr. Cantrell took a prominent part in the affairs of the community during the early days, and was always regarded as a straightforward, honest, public-spirited man. He died recently at his son's residence in Kansas. (William and Stephen lived at Black Bob, Johnson County, Kansas). His remains were brought to Sterling, and buried October 31, 1877.

Wyatt married Sarah "Sally" England on 14 Aug 1811 in Bath County, Kentucky. Sarah was born on 20 Dec 1794; died on 4 Aug 1840 in Illinois. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

James L. McLemore, III wrote that John McLemore enlisted "in Aug. or Sept., 1779....in the co. of Capt. Micajah Bullock of Granville Co, NC, and apparently saw some action....on Dec 20 of the following year, he married Sarah.... there in Granville Co, James Claxton (Clanton) was security on their bond. In May, 1784 he bought part of the estate of Benjamin Wade, and was shown living there in Granville Co census of 1786. Apparently he continued to reside there in Granville until about 1796....He thereafter moved to Burke Co, N.C....then to Knox Co, TN about 1813, where he continued to reside until his death on June 30, 1844. At least one son (Archibald, born 11 Mar 1787) is known to have survived him." (James L. McLemore, III, pp. 75-76)

Eddie Maynard has also has posted a transcription from the State Records of Granville County, NC of a list of persons who took the oath of allegiance to the State in the Dutch District. Included on this list was James McLemoore, Senior, James McLemoore, and John Maclemoore.

In an application for membership in the DAR files by Eudora Mitchell Harvey, she cites his Pension Certificate as being No. 3509, East Tennessee Agency, Issued December 26, 1832, commenced March 4, 1831, Act of June 7, 1832, with a rate of $25.

Eddie Maynard also has copies of John McLemores revolutionary pension application, and a transcription of the same:

American Revolution Pension Statements
State of Tennessee Knox County: Circuit Court for said County at August Sessions 1832

Transcribed by Will Graves 4/3/09
On this 18th day of August 1832 personally appeared in open court before the Honorable Circuit Court of Knox County now sitting John Maclemore a resident of said County and State aged 69 years and near 8 months, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th 1832 -- That sometime in the month of August or September in the year 1779, as well as he now recollects, he entered the Army of the United States as a private in a volunteer company, which was raised and rendezvoused at Granville Court house, North Carolina, for 3 months service -- that his company was commanded by Micajah C. Bulloch of Granville County as Capt., and Ralph Williams of Orange County NC as Lieut.. Applicant states that the company in which he was enrolled together with 2 others as well as he now recollects, rendezvoused at Granville Court house and marched under the command of Major Richard Cook to the mouth of Cross Creek on the Cape Fear River where they were stationed 2 or 3 weeks. From the mouth of Cross Creek they recrossed the Cape Fear River and marched to Chatham Count house and see where they were stationed several weeks -- they then marched to Hillsboro where they were stationed but a few days, when they marched to Back Creek and remained there until the 3 months for which applicant had volunteered, had expired, when he was honorably discharged and returned home. Applicant states that the Main object of this expedition was to keep the Tories in awe -- Applicant states that about 9 months after his last mentioned discharge he hired a man by the name of William Westbrook to perform a tour of 3 months service for him, in a company of horse -- he states that he furnished the said Westbrook with a horse saddle and bridle, gave 100 acres of land and 2 cows and calves -- Applicant states that the reason why he did not performed this tour of duty himself was that at that time he was engaged to be married to the lady with whom he afterwards intermarried, and from her strong and earnest remonstrances, and his great reluctance at leaving her, he was induced to hire a substitute and remained at home -- Applicant states that afterwards sometime in the latter part of the year 1780 or first of the year 1781, he rather thinks the latter, he entered the service of the United States, as an orderly Sgt. in a company of volunteer horse, which rendezvoused at Granville Court house NC under the command of Capt. Nathaniel Waller, who was commanded by Major Harris of the Continental Army, and who was afterwards deprived of his commission for plundering a blanket -- also under the command of Col. John Hary [? Hay?] who had the supreme command. From Granville the Army marched to the mouth of Cross Creek on the Cape Fear River, where Major Richard Cook and General Butler took command. Here the horsemen were all dismounted and their horses sent home and applicant and his company were put with the infantry. From the mouth of Cross Creek the Army under the command of the said General Butler marched to Rockfish a small River, where it met General Rutherford with a large force, who took the supreme command of the whole Army, and crossing Rockfish marched on to the North East River on the opposite bank of which there was a large force of British and Tories. Here the Army remained until the British left their position on the opposite side of the River, and then the American Army marched some distance up the River where they crossed and marched directly to Wilmington. The American Army remained within 2 miles of Wilmington until the British took shipping and left that part of the country, when the 3 months for which applicant had entered the service having expired he was honorably discharged and returned home. Applicant is under the impression that this last campaign was commenced before the battle of Guilford, and that the British Army which he left Wilmington was a part of the troops which had been engaged in that battle. Applicant states that altogether he has served 6 months in the revolutionary army himself and 3 months by his substitute is a campaign of 3 months as a private volunteer, and 3 months as an orderly Sgt., as before mentioned. Applicant states that he was born in Brunswick County, Virginia in the year 1762 -- that his father had recorded the age of applicant and all his children in a family Bible which applicant well recollects to have seen, and which was last in the possession of his father -- that he lived in Granville County NC at the time he entered the service of the United States, and continued to live there during the whole war and to the year 1796 at which time he moved to Montgomery County N. C. where he lived about 8 years, and then moved to Burke County NC where lived about 80 years, and then moved to Knox County Tennessee to the neighborhood where he has lived ever since and is now living. Applicant states that it is his impression that he received a written discharge at the termination of one or both of the above mentioned campaigns, but he does not know what has become of them, or how they were lost -- he states positively that he has not at this time either of said discharges nor any documentary evidence whatever of his service -- he further states that he knows of no person whose testimony he can procure who can testify to his services -- Applicant hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the Agency of any State.

Census Information:

As transcribed by Eddie Maynard

"The pension papers also state that John McLemore lived in Granville County, North Carolina during the war until 1796 until he moved to Montgomery County, North Carolina for eight years (1796-1804). He is listed on the 1800 Montgomery County, North Carolina Census (Morganton township) with:

3 males under the age of 10
1 male age 26-44
1 female 16-25

Jim White indicates, however, that the only McLemore in Montgomery county in 1800 was Clem McLemore - the John McLemore who married Sarah Carnes was enumerated in Burke County in 1800, not Montgomery.

The pension papers show that John McLemore then moved to Burke County, North Carolina for 8 years (1804-1812). He is recorded in the 1810 Burke County, North Carolina census with:
2 males under the age of 10
1 male age 10-15
1 male over the age of 45
1 female age 10-15
2 females ages 16-25
1 female over the age of 45

1820 Census
not located

John McLemore states in his Revolutionary War pension papers that he then moved to Knox County, Tennessee (around 1812). He is first recorded in the Knox County, Tennessee Census records in 1830 with:
1 male age 10-15
1 male age 60-70
1 female age 20-30
Since John McLemore's wife Sarah Carnes is not recorded in the 1830 census, we assume that she died between 1820-1830."

(Medical):It had long been assumed that the Revolutionary War Soldier John McLemore, who lived for a time in North Carolina and died in Tennessee, was a son of Burwell MacLemore and Amy Gilliam. However, current DNA evidence indicates this could not be correct. This is because two descendants of Archibald McLemore of Knox County, TN, a son John McLemore the Revolutionary Soldier, are both part of the larger R1b1a2 cluster. They do NOT match the DNA of Burwell's other descendants in the E1b1 cluster. Therefore, it is evident that the John McLemore who moved to Tennessee and was the father of Archibald McLemore CAN NOT be the same John McLemore who was a son of Burwell McLemore.

It is not currently known who the father of John McLemore, born 1762 in Brunswick, VA is.

Tom Heseltine speculates that due to the fact he named his eldest son Young, and that the name Young continues to as a first or middle name for many of his grandchildren, he might be descended from Young McLemore, the son of Abraham Macklemore the immigrant. Young married Lucy Nicholson. Susannah "Sukey" McLemore, born 1765 married Sgt. James GRAY as was the only child named in the will of Young McLemore. She also named her first born son Young Atkins Gray. Two confirmed descendants of Abraham Macklemore are also in the R1b1a2 cluster, and high resolutions yDNA matches to two descendants of Archibald McLemore of Knox County, a son of John McLemore. He is less likely to be a son of Abraham's son Atkins as John was not named in Atkins will and also due to the fact that Atkins had a son Nathaniel born in Granville County, NC in 1762...which makes it very unlikely he would have a son John born in same year in Brunswick County, VA.

Alternatively, John may be a son of James McLemore, Sr., who along with John McLemore and James McLemore Jr, took the oath of allegiance to the State (of North Carolina) in the Dutch District of Granville County. James L. McLemore, III, stated that Rudy Leverett, while researching the ancestry of Maj. Amos McLemore of Jones county, Mississippi, showed that Wright McLemore had a son named James McLemore, born circa 1738 in Virgina. He would have been the correct age to be a father of John. Wright is thought to be a son of William McLemore, thought to be eldest son of James Macklemore, the immigrant. William descendants settled in North Carolina, and the name Archibald was also used amount his descendants in Sampson County, North Carolina. James McLemore, III is not certain that a James, the son of Wright, even existed, however.

John married Sarah Carnes on 30 Dec 1780 in Granville County, North Carolina. Sarah was born before 1760; died between 1820 and 1830. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Some show her last name as CARNER or CARVER, however in the transcription of GRANVILLE MARRIAGES 1753-1868, she is listed as Sarah CARNES.

Notes:

Married:
Eddie Maynard, on October 13, 2011, forwarded a transcription of their marriage information. They were shown on a list of GRANVILLE MARRIAGES 1753-1868 as follows: McLemore, John & Sarah CARNES, 30 Dec 1780; James Claxton, bm; William Merryman, wit. (page 215). This book was compiled by Brent H. Holcomb.

Eddie Maynard has also located and provided a copy of a document he copied from the Knox County, Tennessee County Court Minute Book, Vol. 17, Page 320 dated December 2, 1844

The portion of the document naming John's children reads "Personally appeared in open court Elijah Perry and Thomas J. White, who first being duly sworn ??? and say that they were personally acquainted with John McLemore and attest he was a pensioner of the United States and was a resident of the County of Knox, in the State of Tennessee, and died in the county and State aforesaid in the year 1844, on the 30 day of June, he left no widow, but the following children whose names are: Archibald, Richard, Young, Green, James, William, Nancy, Patsey and Ally McLemore, all of whom are now living. Court adjourned 'till tomorrow morning 12 o'clock. Signed by J. Anderson, John Roberts, A. W. Armstrong."

Notes:

All of this information about Joshua Cantrell and his brothers and sisters is taken from the book "The Cantrell Family" written by Carmi G. Cantrell, Illinois, 1898.

"Joshua Cantrell was a soldier in the war for American Independence. He was born in Penn., but moved to Virginia, then to Kentucky in 1789. He was the father of nine sons, but no daughter. Four of his sons died without families, the other five married in Kentucky and moved to Ohio, then to Illinois. There were born to them 64 children, 33 sons and 31 daughters."


Following info. about the Joshua Cantrill family from Anette Stanley Rardin, posted on the Cantrell Family Genealogy Forum, Aug. 12, 1998.........

"It is possible that Joshua Cantrill was a relative. He lived in Pittsylvania Co., VA, in the 1780s. In 1794 in Mercer Co., KY., Lewis Castleman sued Joshua Cantrill regarding an unpaid debt. He is found on the 1800 census in Montgomery Co., KY. He signed his will on 20/26 Aug. 1800 and it was probated Oct. 14, 1800, Montgomery Co., KY. He named wife Ann and children: Wyatt, Zebulon, Joshua, and William. Executors: Zebulon Cantrill and James Graham. Witnessed by Thomas Isles/Iles, J./I. H. Jenkins, and Andrew Biggs. (Montgomery County Will Abstracts compiled by Mrs. W.P. Oldham, pp. 77, 83 (another abstract of same will, but Wyatt was omitted and there are a few changes in spellings.) From Kentucky Records - Early Wills and Marriages, Old Bible Records and Tombstone Inscriptions, by Julia Ardery, Baltimore: Genealogical Pub. Co., 1969.) It is possible that Mary Cantrill who married Morris Thomas was also a relative. Morris and Mary left Chester Co., PA., in 1777 and moved to what is now Hardy Co., WVA. Their descendants lived in Hardy Co., now WVA, Pittsylvania Co., VA., and Mercer Co., KY."
