  Notes	Paraphrased from "Ole Rosinheels" Moses and brother Richard McLemore were born in SC, and probably moved from Giles Co., TN to Wayne Co., MS at the end of hostilities in the War of 1812. They settled in that part of Wayne County which, in 1819, became Covington County and, still later, in 1826, became Jones County. They were both listed in the 1816 census of Wayne County, but neither was on the 1810 census of the same area. They settled in the Leaf River country of what is now Jones, Perry, Forrest and Covington counties, in south-eastern Mississippi. They lived in close proximity, and John McLemore joined them in 1820. In 1836, Richard moved to Lauderdale County.
