4. | George Hiram McLemore was born about 1842 in Mississippi (son of Amos McLemore, Jr. and Elizabeth Johnston); and died. Notes:
April Makerney's notes show that George married Louisa MOORE, and that both died in the mid 1870's. This appears to be correct as four of their five children were enumerated with I.B. and Jane MOORE as of the 1880 Clarke County, Mississippi census.

Amos married Elizabeth Johnston about 1820. Elizabeth was born on 15 Feb 1802 in South Carolina; died on 31 Jul 1881 in Clarke County, Mississippi; was buried in McLemore Cemetery, Middleton, Clarke County, Mississippi. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
|
9. | Elizabeth Johnston was born on 15 Feb 1802 in South Carolina; died on 31 Jul 1881 in Clarke County, Mississippi; was buried in McLemore Cemetery, Middleton, Clarke County, Mississippi. Notes:
Some researchers show her as the daughter of Caleb Hill and Mary Flynt, and the sister of Nancy Perry Hill, who married Amos's brother, Richard McLemore. Others show her as Elizabeth Hill Johnson or Johnston, with their marriage taking place in Giles County, Tennessee. The Rev. William McLemore shows that according to correspondence and DAR records submitted to him by Joyce Sentell of Mobile, Alabama in 1996, her maiden name was Johnson. In May, 2008, Rev. Bill emailed that "An e-mail from a Ron Henson, 12 Feb 1998 says her surname was Johnston. She was born 15 Feb 1802 and died 31 July 1881. Their children were Albert Gallatin 1825, Richard, Caleb, John b. 1831, Catherine b. 1832, Nancy b. 1838, Elvira and Bettie. Harry McLemore of Jackson, MS, wrote me, "Amos lived in Clarke Co., in 1850. He later moved to Lauderdale Co. near Meridian and one time he lived in Copiah County."
Notes:
Married:
They are also shown by some researchers to be the parents of Sara McLemore, born 1819 and married a CARTER and Mary McLemore, born 1822 Lawrence County, Mississippi. This would fit with the 1830 census, which shows that the family had five girls under the age of 15 at that time.
Children:
- Sarah "Sally" McLemore was born about 1820 in Mississippi; and died.
- Louisa McLemore was born about 1821 in Mississippi; and died.
- Albert Gallatin McLemore was born on 25 Sep 1824 in Mississippi; died on 7 Mar 1874 in Clarke County, Mississippi; was buried in McLemore Cemetery, Middleton, Clarke County, Mississippi.
