Notes:

Mark Freeman has the following information posted on his website relating to Atkins Jefferson McLemore:

Williamson County Court Records have numerous entries for land and property transactions for A.J. McLemore. Misc. records Williamson county vol.4: 14 Nov 1823 "Atkins J. McLemore sells to William Dabney for the sum of $1000 a tract of land on the waters of West Harpeth . . ." One dated 1 Jan 1847 reads: "Rec'd of A.J. McLemore three hundred and seventy five dollars in full payment for a certain negro girl name Louisa, said negro we warrant sound body and mind, slave for life, and the right and title of said negro we warrant and defend against the lawful claims of all others this 23rd Dec 1846"

Misc records Williamson county vol 5: "Jesse Taylor, planter, charged with cutting Atkins McLemore, blacksmith, across the abdomen with intent to kill" 17 May 1823

From "Tennessee Tidbits 1778 - 1914, Vol. I" page 256 "McLemore - 14 July 1828 a report was made by Atkins J. McLemore as guardian of John D. McLemore, Polly M. McLemore, Robt. W. McLemore, and Peggy S. McLemore, minor orphans. (Wll TN, Co Ct Min, 10/55)" These would be his half brothers and sisters from his father Robert's marriage to Margaret S. Dabney.

From "The Maury Genealogist" by Jill K. Garrett May 1972 page 57 "State vs J.W. Cheairs, merchant, William Beauford, yeoman, Adkins J. McLemore, yeoman, Anderson McLemore, yeoman, Henry P. Pointer, yeoman, Thomas Pointer, yeoman, riot route and unlawful assembly true bill. On 5 June 1845 in Spring Hill they assaulted Robert C. Giddins". Will on file in Williamson County Will Book 9 page 303 dated Aug 1849.

Atkins married Bethenia Smith Dabney on 7 Sep 1821 in Williamson County, Tennessee. Bethenia was born on 25 Apr 1803 in North Carolina; died on 24 Jul 1857 in Thompson Station, Williamson County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Jane A. "Xan" Alexander emailed, in November 2011, that Bethenia Dabney was a daughter of John Dabney and Peggy Smith, and sister to the Margaret "Peggy" Dabney who became Atkins stepmother in 1812. Betty Pritchett notes that "Bethenia's father Captain John Dabney was a Revolutionary War soldier."
