1892 - Yes, date unknown
Generation: 1
1. | John "Johnny" L. McLemore was born in Mar 1892 in Arthur, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory (son of Albert L. McLemore and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Ligon); and died. Notes:
Among the progressive and wide-awake young business men of Haskell is numbered John McLemore, a native son of Oklahoma, who has been an important factor in developing the oil fields of this section of the state and also has financial and real estate interests. He was born at Arthur, near Duncan, Oklahoma, March 9, 1892, of the marriage of Albert and Lizzie (Ligon) McLemore, the former a native of Dade county, Missouri, while the latter was born in Illinois. The father came to this state in territorial days, establishing his home near Duncan, in what was then known as Indian Territory, in 1888. There he followed agricultural pursuits until 1896, when he removed to Tahlequah, where he resided until March, 1898, and then made his way to Stonebluff, in which town he was assassinated on the 16th of March 1909. The mother passed away on the 31st of January 1912.
John McLemore was reared and educated at Bacone, three miles north of Muskogee, and was sixteen years of age at the time of his father's death. In partnership with his brother he continued to operate the home farm until March, 1916, when he came to Haskell. In this locality he also engaged in farming but subsequently disposed of all of his stock and on March 15, 1919, purchased an interest in the Creek Land & Loan Company, which had been organized by Frank B. Glascock and his two daughters, Nellie C. and Sarah S. He and B. K. Williams now own that concern. He also owns about six hundred acres of land, which he leases profitably. He is a stockholder and director of the Haskell National Bank, also has large oil holdings, and it was largely through his efforts that the Stonebluff oil field was developed. He displays marked business sagacity for one of his years and through the capable management of his interests has already advanced to a substantial point on the high-road to success.
At Muskogee, Oklahoma, on the 8th of November, 1912, Mr. McLemore was united in marriage to Miss Grace Hendrickson, a daughter of Andrew and Mary (Morgan) Hendrickson, natives of Kentucky and pioneers of Kansas and Oklahoma. Her father
was one of the early agriculturists of Okmulgee county and there passed away in April, 1914. Her mother still resides on the home farm. Mr. and Mrs. McLemore have become the parents of four children: Helen May, who was born August 19, 1913; Ernestine, born April 30, 1916; Margaret N., born April 27, 1918; and Hilda Jean, born October 23, 1920. Mrs. McLemore is a native of the Blue Grass state and was born May 6,1892.
Mr. McLemore is independent in his political views, reserving the right to vote according to the dictates of his judgment, and he has been called to public office, serving for two years as mayor of Haskell and giving to the city a businesslike and progressive administration. He attends the Christian church and fraternally is identified with the Elks lodge at Muskogee, of which he is a life member, and he is also a prominent Mason, belonging to the commandery and the Shrine at Muskogee, while in the consistory at McAlester he has taken the thirty-second degree. He is a young man who has not yet reached the zenith of his powers, but in the development of his talents he has established himself in a foremost position in business circles of Haskell, and judging by what he has already accomplished the future holds for him unlimited possibilities.

Shot in the Back
A. L. McLemore Assassinated While Setting Out Fruit Trees
Haskell, Okla., Marcy 17--At Stone Bluff, near here, A. L. McLemore was shot in the back while setting out fruit trees on his farm. Another bullet hold in his head and powder marks indicates that the assassin fired into the mans' skull at close range after he had been shot from behind. A negro tenant with whom McLemore had been having trouble over a settlement for rent is suspected and deputy Joe Depew with blood hounds left here for the scene of the crime.
The dead man was wealthy and prominent.

8. | Archibald McLemore was born on 11 Mar 1787 in North Carolina (son of John McLemore, Revolutionary Soldier and Sarah Carnes); died between 1830 and 1835 in Monroe County, Tennessee. Notes:
A photo of a double tombstone for Archibald and Sarah Plumlee can be seen on FindAGrave, in the Click Cemetery, Madisonville, Monroe, Tennessee. However, it appears to be a comtemporary marker, probably placed sometime well after their deaths. Additionally, the dates of birth and death, at least for Archibald, are not correct. A photo of this marker can be seen here:
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=38295337&PIpi=18611681
The dates on this headstone for Archibald are listed as 1767-1829.
1767 is the approximate date of birth of another Archibald McLemore, the progenitor of the Sampson/Duplin line, and not the Archibald McLemore that lived in Knox County, Tennessee. A biography of a A. J. McLemore, a son of Archibald McLemore of Knox County, states that his father Archibald was born "on March 11, 1787."
Additionally, it appears that Archibald was alive in 1829, most likely dying in the mid 1830's.
Tom Heseltine, who is descended from Archibald McLEMORE and Sarah PLUMLEY of Knox Co emailed, in June, 2009 that "Most available information, including the 1917 Dade Co MO book, the 1889 Goodspeed book, and the obituary of Archibald McLEMORE jr., all state that Archibald McLEMORE and wife Sarah PLUMLEY died ca 1824/1825. This is curious since their son Wesley was born 1827 and the youngest son Andrew Jackson was born 1828. And, the 1830 Knox Co TN census lists one Archibald McLEMORE with the correct number of young sons and a female the correct age to be his wife. I strongly suspect that the family story about their deaths has been miscalculated by at least 5 years and, most probably, 10 years."
Eddie Maynard agrees with Tom, but has a more specific estimate of the date of death, putting it about 1832: "If you combine the two Bios for his sons Andrew Jackson and for Archibald Jr, it sort of make sense for Archibald Sr's death date. Since Andrew knew his father's birth date, he must have had a Bible or source to have known the complete date....very often people would just say the year or he was about 45 when he died. BUT, since Andrew knew the complete date, I think he really did know. Next, I do think that Archibald Jr knew the age of his father's death of 45. So, if you take the date of 1787 and add 45...Archibald Sr died in 1832...which does make more sense. Archibald Jr says his father died in 1825 which we know had to be wrong since Andrew was born in 1829 and Archibald is on the 1830 Monroe County, TN census. Also, Archibald Jr says that he went to live with his brother Abram as a young man and in 1827 was part of the "posse" to gather the Cherokee for the Trail of Tears....it couldn't be 1827, it was 1837-38. Now, if Archibald J r(B.1817) is a young man when he went to live with his brother...he would have been - 20 at that time he went on the "posse". If his father died in 1832, Archibald Jr would have been only 15 and probably did live with his brother Abram. Archibald Sr couldn't have lived much later than 1832 because then Archibald Jr would have been an adult and probably wouldn't have needed to live with his brother since the children inherited land in Monroe."
