Hiram Y. McLemore

1820 - Yes, date unknown

• Name	Hiram Y. McLemore  [1, 2, 3]
  Birth	Between 1817 and 1820	Kentucky   [2, 3]
  Gender	Male
  Death	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	His middle name has been speculated to be Young. Duane Hansen (mr_duey2000@yahoo.com) shows he was born ca 1817 in Lee County, Virginia, and died on 22 April 1887 in Breathitt County, Kentucky. Colby Fugate McLemore writes that "Hiram Y. McLemore served in the Union Army. His son Benjamin F. McLemore served in the Confederate Army. They were on leave at the same time on several occasions. They would leave their arms with local Confederate or northern supporters during the time of their mutual leave at home. Hiram Y. McLemore, from other records, apparently reared his family in Perry County (Hazard area), Kentucky." Both Duane Hansen and Colby McLemore believe that Hiram McLemore is a son of John McLemore and Ruth Steelman of North Carolina and Kentucky, making him a grandson of Ephraim McLemore and Hannah Hudspeth. This has not been proven, however. Please email if you know more about Hiram Y. McLemore, or his parents.

He did not match either of the two McLemore subgroups also enrolled in this study. His Y-DNA values follow (393-390-19-391-385a-385b-426-388-439-389.1-392-389.2) 13-23-15-11-11-15-12-12-12-13-13-29 He is part of the R1b1b2 Haplogroup. He is four steps removed, however, from the other R1b McLemore's in the study, clustered in group O. Nor does he have matches with the other 5 members with the McLemore surname in the study. It is possible that there were several founding McLemore lines, instead of just one as has been long assumed. Or another possibility could be that undisclosed adoptions have occurred through the generations of descendants of both James and/or Abraham. The members of R1b are believed to be the descendants of the first modern humans who entered Europe about 35,000-40,000 years ago. Those R1b forebearers were the people who painted the beautiful art in the caves in Spain and France. They were the contemporaries (and perhaps exterminators) of the European Neanderthals. R1b is the most common Y haplogroup in Europe - more than half of men of European descent belong to R1b. Fourteen of the 30 most common haplotypes in the YSTR.org database are typical of R1b.

• Documents

  The yDNA results of a direct male descendant of Hiram Y. McLemore is listed in the purple section of this excel spreadsheet, eight row. To date, there are no matches to this line. Although he is also in the R1b haplogroup, he is four steps removed (at 12 markers) from the other R1b McLemore's in the study. Therefore he can not share a common ancestor in a genealogicaly significant time frame.
