      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.
