John McLemore

Notes:

Ann and Eldon McLemore of Derby, Kansas show Eldon's ancestor as John McLemore, born ca 1775 in South Carolina, and as the son of Joel McLemore and Elizabeth Wyche of South Carolina. Other records, however, show that Joel and Elizabeth McLemore's son, Major John McLemore (born ca 1776), was married to Cressy McLemore [nee Lucretia Clifton]. Eldon's ancestor was instead married to a Winnie Baltice and had a large family, sons Wesley, Rueben, Matthew and John, and daughter Dorcus. Their branch of the McLemore family moved to northern Mississippi, and then onto Oklahoma. Could this actually be the John McLemore from whom Weldon descends?
