Washington Ancestry Vol. 2 page 230 "Isaac Elsberry and his family remained in Surry Co.until after the 1800 census was taken. What happened to his sister and brother in law Hudspeth has never been traced. Elizabeth Elsberry and her husband Alexander Latham went with or followed her father to Ashe County"

Vol. 2 page 239 "It would seem that every man not a Tory in the State capable of bearing arms was at one time or another called into active service, although it might be for one tour of duty" "Zachariah Riley son of Gerard and Frances ( Wright) Riley was born 1791 on a farm adjoining Isaac's in Surry Co." "Zachariah Riley was a son of Gerard and Frances ( Wright) Riley of Surry County, North Carolina. Frances was a daughter of Capt.John Wright and Ann ( Williams) Wright and a sister to Isaac Elsberrys's wife, Agatha Wright. Both of these Riley and Elsberry families moved to the immediate vicinity of Bethel in Clermont County, Ohio where Zachariah was a wheelwright and died March 1877- so states Rockey and Bancroft's Hitory of Clermont Co. on page 316."

Page 240 excerpts from an interview with Zach Riley "John Elsberry located on a farm in Surry Co. N.C....he had but one son Isaac and two daughters . One of these married a man named Hedspath who became a Tory Captain" "KInship had to be disregarded in those trying times. Isaac was a patriot and on hearing on that Capt. Hedspath had returned from his command to viist his family, Isaac planned to capture or kill him. Hedspath was warned of his damger and fled for refuge into one of those dismal swamps, being hard pressed one moonlight night by Isaac and his little squad of patriots, he law down on his back in shallow wateer simply leaving his nose above the water.After the war was over he told of the night of terror and his narrow escape. He said he saw Isaac and his party pass within a few feet of him and he was so frightened that his black hair turned gray" "Isaac Elsberry married Agaha Wright( dau. of John Wright who had married Ann Williams"

Page 244 Isaac Elsberry's father died prior to 1803. " The two deeds are of gemealogical interest in that when Isaac sold the land in Ashe County, North Carolina they were signed by John Elsberry's two son in laws in behalf of their wives". Ayres Hudsepth being one of the son in laws. Page 245

1808 - David sold land in Warren Co; 1810 - David not show on Warren Co census. It's possible, but not likely, that he was the David in Surry Co., NC. That David and his wife were ages 26 to 45, a son under 10, a daughter under 10, and another daughter 10 to 16.

Family/Spouse: Sarah Flourney Wooldridge. Sarah (daughter of William Wooldridge and Sarah Flourney) was born about 1760; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

James McKinney writes that Sterling paid taxes on 200 acres of land on Skaggs Creek as early as 1806, and may have been there earlier. McKinney also writes that in April 1805, William Bethuram (sic), a neighbor of Sterling's, married a Sarah McLemore. It is not known if this was Sterlings' youngest sister, Sally, or a daughter of Sterling's.

James McKinney adds that the land Sterling paid taxes on was on James Thompson's 4266 acre landgrant. Sterling did not have a deed to the property. In April 1807 James Kincaid bought the entire landgrant from Thompson's heirs. Sterling was present and was a witness, when the deed was made.

Paul Williams, noted, however that In a book dealing with Rockcastle (Kentucky) Pioneers it mentions a William Bethurum marrying a MARY McLemore in 1805 not Sarah/Sally---and that per another article dated 14 Oct 1987 "Family Research Manager" Loren C. Beougher of Raytown, MO cited "William Bethurum marriage to Mary McLemore 5 Apr 1805, Pulaski Co., KY"-- William is son of Benjamin -- Paul also noticed that one of the siblings of William & Mary [his name is Allen] also was shown as married to a McLemore.

Melba Gene McLemore shows that on the 1782 Surry County, NC Tax List he had no land, one horse, and a total taxable valuation of 6 pounds. She further indicated that the Feb. 1786 NC State Census for Surry County lists Sterlin, over 21, with a wife and two sons a two daughters. On February 25, 1787, he witnessed a deed for his father, in the Surry County Deed Book D:20. He is also indexed in the 1799 Deed Book G:113, Ephraim McLemore, deceased to Sterling McLemore.

Notes:

James McKinney indicated that Wright was on Skaggs Creek in 1806 paying taxes on 100 acres of Thompson's land. He was also on the 1810 and 1820 Census of Rockcastle County.

Richard Gentry made claim for Revolutionary service under the 1832 law. He said he was born in Lunenburg Co.Va. Dec.27, 1755. He resided in Union District near the Tiger River in 1780 he served under Col.James Cotton in the battle of Cowpens and battle of King's Mountian. Richard married in 1793 Gestin daughter of Ayres Hedgepeth. Soldier died in Rockcastle Co.Ky. Feb.13, 1836

On the 7th day of April 1855 Jestin Gentry aged 80 years a resident of Rockcastle Co. she states that her husband Richard Gentry rec'd $48.39 per. She states she was married to Richard Gentry in Surry Co.N.C. by William Elliot and her name before she marrried was Gestin Hudspeth. She was making claim for bounty land on the 3rd day of March 1855.

In Nov.17, 1842 Wright McClemore a resident of Lincoln Co.Ky. made an affadavit for Jenstin. He states "I lived about 4 miles from Gestin in Surry Co.N.C. He states do to the excessive rain he did not attend the wedding of Richard Gentry and Jestin but his neighbors did" He further states that Richard Gentry and his wife visited his father many times. "They had children in North Carolina and more after moving to Kentucky." He further states that his brother Gilliam made affadavit for Richard Gentry to receive his pension.

Richard Gentry's pension application is #4332

Revolutionary War Pension Applications, National Archives Microfilm. File W8844, (BLWt 26713-160-55): Richard GENTRY, widow Justina or Gestin, [also Justin, Justiney, Gestiney] of Rockcastle Co. KY. Credited with 13 months service as a private in SC militia.

Testified that he had first volunteered for service in SC militia from Union District, SC, near the Tyger River [about 1780]... He gave his birthplace as Lunenburg Co. VA, and had lived three years in Lincoln Co. KY before moving to Rockcastle Co.

Gestin [Gentry] appeared in Rockcastle Co. court on 25 Nov 1839, age given as 70 years, to apply for widow benefits. She stated that she was married to Richard Gentry in the spring season of 1792 (she did not recall the month), and was married in [Surry Co., NC]. She stated that Richard died 13 Feb 1836.

Gestin appeared again on 23 Jun 1842, age given again as 70 years, to testify further as to Richard's war service.

Wright married Sarah Ransome on 16 May 1795 in Surry County, North Carolina. Sarah was born before 1775; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Nan Harvey (nanharvey@gmail.com) shows that she married a JONES.

Notes:

Also sometimes instead listed as "Carey" or "Hessy Carey." Duane Hansen (mr-duey2000@yahoo.com) shows that she married Daniel Conner on 6 July 1795 in Surry County, North Carolina.

Notes:

Not shown as a child of Ephriam and Hannah by Douglas Wright.

Notes:

James McKinney writes that he was born in Surry County, and was on the Rockcastle census in 1810 and on the 1811 tax list. he had 100 acres of land from the Thompson grant. he was on all Rockcastle census records from 1810 to 1860. He was also a veteran of the War of 1812.

MaryLynn Santa shows his wife was a SARAH, and instead shows the location of death as Rockcastle, Trigg County, Kentucky. There was a 60 year old Sarah living with Gilliam and his children at the time of the 1850 census, but she was listed after the rest of the family. Additionally, a 78 year old Sarah CURLY, widowed, was living with Gilliam's son Wright, and not with Gilliam at the time of the 1860 census.

Gillam came to Lincoln Co. Ky. and he made affadavit for Gestin Hudspeth Gentry, Ayres daughter, for her to get a Revolutionary Pension based on her husbands service.

Gilliam married ??? Kirby before 1822. ??? was born before 1802; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John is shown by several researchers to have married Ruth Steelman. Ruth's dates are 1790-1850. A marraige date of 7 April 1810 in Surry County, North Carolina is shown. This should be verified.


Paul Williams excerpted information from a paper about the family of Ephraim McLemore written by James M. McKinney. McKinney indicated that there was a John McLemore on the 1811 Rockcastle Co. Tax list, but that there did not seem to be further reference to him in the Rockcastle records.


Douglas McLemore is working to prove he is descended from this line, as follows:

James McLemore (1662-1735) -- Fortain Gilliam (1668-????)
|
Ephraim McLemore (????-????) -- Unknown (????-????)
|
Ephraim McLemore (????-????) -- Hannah Hudspeth (1740-1798)
|
John McLemore (1790-????) -- Ruth Steelman (1790-1850)
|
John McLemore (1820-????) -- Eliza ? (1816-1897)
|
Hiram Greene McLemore (1843-1926)----Nancy Ellen Heiffner (1862-????)
|
Andrew Jackson McLemore (1876-1933) --Rosa Russel (1880-1972)
|
Dickie McLemore (1904-1993) -- Della Mae Miller (1917-1993)
|
His Father
|

Douglas McLemore

He is certain from himself up to Eliza McLemore showing her children including Hiram Greene in both 1860 in KY then IN in 1880. Census data also connects Hiram Greene McLemore to his great grand father Andrew Jackson McLemore in IN and then IL. In KY in 1850 Eliza is shown with her children (including Hiram) and also what is believed to be her mother-in-law Ruth (Steelman) McLemore. What seems to be missing is the husbands of both Eliza and Ruth (which Doug got from hearsay were both widowed). This makes it difficult to connect everything back to James and Abraham Macklamore.

He has also found deed records of the right time (1870s) in Salem, Washington County, Indiana to show both Nancy Ellen Heiffner and an Elizabeth Ellen McLemore buying property there. He suspects Elizabeth Ellen is synonomous with Eliza. He also found the wedding license for Nancy Ellen Heiffner and Hiram Greene McLemore, and has electric photos of all of these records including the plot map from 1878 showing N. McLemore on one of the plots.

Notes:

Could this be the Sally (Mary?) McLemore that married William Bethurum in 1805?

Several sources show "William Bethurum marriage to Mary McLemore 5 Apr 1805, Pulaski Co., KY", though in some sources the wifes name is shown as Sally. William Bethurum was said to be a neighbor of Sterling McLemore, Sally's eldest brother.

THOUGHT to be the brother to Sterling C. McLemore by Melba Gene McLemore, family researcher. He also ended up in Arkansas.

Foide Williams, in a post to the McLemore Family Genealogy Forum, writes that: "The 1820 census of Lincoln Co, Tn (pg 14) shows Sterling C. McLemore and (pg 30) Signer Allen (who married Rebecca McLemore), Benjamin Wright (who married Hannah McLemore), James R. Brown (who married Martha McLemore), and Joel McLemore. These are all from Fayette Co, KY and apparently traveled together to Lincoln Co, TN."

Distressing Accident

Capt. Stirling C. M'LEMORE, of this county, was last evening dangerously wounded by the accidental discharge of a rifle. While sitting upon the fence with his gun upon his knees, it slipped, when on catching it suddenly and drawing the muzzle toward him it fired at half bent. The ball, we are informed by the surgeon, entered a little below the left breast, passed the cavity and lodged in the point of his left shoulder...He was living this morning, but his life is considered to be in imminent danger.

Notes:

Melba Gene McLemore shows that she married James R. BROWN.
Foide Williams, in a post to the McLemore Family Genealogy Forum, writes that: "The 1820 census of Lincoln Co, Tn (pg 14) shows Sterling C. McLemore and (pg 30) Signer Allen (who married Rebecca McLemore), Benjamin Wright (who married Hannah McLemore), James R. Brown (who married Martha McLemore), and Joel McLemore. These are all from Fayette Co, KY and apparently traveled together to Lincoln Co, TN."

http://www.jenforum.org/mclemore/messages/768.html

(Research):Census Listing:

Melba Gene McLemore thinks it POSSIBLE the census listing b
elow is that of Martha McLemore Brown. There are several significant differences that need to be resolved before assuming this with certainty. (Name of Spouse, place of birth, relationship of Martha to the older Augustine Clayborne of Virginia in the same home, etc)

McLemore and (pg 30) Signer Allen (who married Rebecca McLemore), Benjamin Wright (who married Hannah McLemore), James R. Brown (who married Martha McLemore), and Joel McLemore. These are all from Fayette Co, KY and apparently traveled together to Lincoln Co, TN."

http://www.jenforum.org/mclemore/messages/768.html

According to "Mt. Hermon Baptist Church, Lincoln County, Tennessee" by Betty Via, Hannah Wright was an 1833 constituting member, wife of Benjamin Wright; on the 1840 membership list; granted letter n.d; joined by letter, June, 1844; on 1852 membership list. A footnote after her name indicates that Hannah's maiden name appears to be McLemore, [but that] research still inconclusive.

Julia Molitz (jmolitz@cox.net), a member of the "Chesnut Ridge Cousins" genealogy study group indicated that she could not find Benjamin and Hannah any place on the 1850 or 1860 census, but did find a Benjamin and Mary H. WRIGHT on the 1850 TN Census and the same family on the 1860 Berry Co., MO census, but did not know if this family was the same one that lived in Lincoln County (now Moore County), Tennessee.

Julia further indicates that census records show that Benjamin and Hannah had about ten children, seven girls and three boys, but that the identity of all the children is not yet conclusive.

Citing the book "Mt. Hermon Baptist Church, Lincoln County, Tennessee" by Betty Via, she suspects that the "Mary [Wright] that was received by experience, September 1855; granted letter, August 1859 must have been a daughter of Benjamin and Hannah. Rebecca WRIGHT must have been a daughter of Benjamin and Hannah as well." The book itself notes that an Elizabeth Wright, on the 1852 church membership list, is also believed to have been one of the daughters of Benjamin and Hannah.

Hannah married Benjamin Wright on 19 Sep 1814 in Fayette County, Kentucky. Benjamin was born about 1794 in Lincoln County, Tennessee; died after 1840 in Lincoln County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Melba Gene McLemore noted that in both the April 7, 1824 and July 5, 1826 issue of THE VILLAGE MESSENGER, published in Fayetteville, Lincoln County, Tennessee, a Wright McLEMORE was listed among those for whom dead letters were being held at the Fayetteville Post Office.

This makes him very likely a brother of Joel and Sterling McLemore, whose families were in Fayetteville, Tennessee during this same time frame.

More information can be found in the notes section of "Wright McLemore of Arkansas", born ca 1800, North Carolina.

Notes:

Melba Gene McLemore notes that she married Signer/Signor ALLEN. Foide Williams, in a post to the McLemore Family Genealogy Forum, writes that: "The 1820 census of Lincoln Co, Tn (pg 14) shows Sterling C. McLemore and (pg 30) Signer Allen (who married Rebecca McLemore), Benjamin Wright (who married Hannah McLemore), James R. Brown (who married Martha McLemore), and Joel McLemore. These are all from Fayette Co, KY and apparently traveled together to Lincoln Co, TN."

Louisa married John Waddell on 6 Jan 1856 in Rockcastle County, Kentucky. John was born about 1812 in Tennessee; died before 1900. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Said to be the sister of ex Mayor A. P. Wooldridge of Austin, Texas. He lived at 3122 Wheeler Street, Austin. If she is related, she is more likely an Aunt or Cousin, as Alexander Penn Wooldridge, mayor of Austin, was born on 1847 in New Orleans, and therefore would be much younger than Elizabeth.

Elizabeth married Thompson Allen on 8 Feb 1821 in South Carolina. Thompson (son of Arva Allen and Polly Clarke) was born on 22 Dec 1802 in Abbeville County, South Carolina; died on 17 Dec 1870 in Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
