Notes:

FindAGrave shows him as a son of Tobias McLemore.

At the time of the 1850 Sampson County Census, there appear to be two (2) Hezekiah McLemore's that are enumerated. On the 1850 Sampson County census, Northern Division, dated October 18, 1850, a 23 year-old Hezekiah McLemore was listed, newly married to 23 year old Caroline McLemore. These are the ancestors of Margaret McLemore Lee of Johnston County, North Carolina, who has extensively researched these families. She shows that Hezekiah was the son of Raiford McLemore. Approximately one month earlier, on September 15, 1850, in the Southern District of Sampson County, there is a listing for a 30 year-old Hezekiah McLemore. He was living alone in household 487, but the census indicated that he was newly married within the year, but no wife is listed with him. The listing immediately preceding his is that of Raiford McLemore--father of the 23 year old Hezekiah in the Northern District. As these Northern and Southern District were enumerated more that a month apart, it possible that Hezekiah was simply double counted, with his age being listed incorrectly on the Southern District census. That he was shown as newly married on both census reports adds some credence to this possibility.

At the time of the 1860 census, in the Northern District of Sampson County, Clinton P.O., a 32 year old Hezekiah McLemore can be found. Living with him is 31 year-old Matilda, and a 4 year-old girl named Celestial. Margaret Lee and Robert Butler both indicate that Hezekiah's first wife, Caroline, died shortly after giving birth to their son David, and that Hezekiah remarried Matilda Fowler. Her last name is cited as Campbell in Rev. William McLemore's Sampson index, but this appears to be in error. Hezekiah's son, David is not listed in the household. He is instead living with his grandfather, Raiford.

The 1870 census listing for 70 year-old Raiford McLemore in 1870 shows him still in the Southern Division of Sampson County, along with 37 year old Mary, 22 year old Rachel, 15 year old Amos, 8 year old David, and 7 year old Louanne. Although it is known that the 8 year old David was his grandson, Raiford's relationship to 7 year Louanne is not known. It is also not known of Mary, some thirty years younger than Raiford, was his daughter or a second wife.

Robert McLemore Butler shows Hezekiah M. McLemore as a Pvt 2nd Co A 2nd Artillery Regt. Born 1843 (sic) in Sampson County, Enlisted February 9, 1863 in Clinton. Robert has a copy of a letter he wrote to his father on March 22, 1863 from Fort Cashwell. Hezekiah was hospitalized December 21, 1864 at Wilmington with typhoid pneumonia. Furloughed December 27, 1864 for 60 days.

Margaret McLemore Lee indicated that Hezekiah McLemore died circa 1864 at Fort Fisher during the Civil War, from "illness." However, Robert McLemore Butler found the following death notice of Hezekiah "Died---in Sampson on 2 Jan 1865, at the residence of John FOWLER, Esq., Mr. Hezekiah McLEMORE, in the 39th year of age. (b. 8 Feb 1827..Buried at McLemore Cemetery, Roseboro, N.C. h/o Matilda J. (FOWLER) McLemore. It appears that Hezekiah died from pneumonia while on furlough.

The last major stronghold of the Confederacy, Fort Fisher was the site of two major battles and finally fell January 15, 1865. This earthen fort kept the Cape Fear River and the port of Wilmington open to blockade runners which delivered vital supplies to Confederate armies. Located here are the remains of the fort, a visitor-center with slide orientation and daily guided tours. http://webcom.com/rudd/things/fort/
