  Family 1	Sterling C. McLemore,   b. Abt 1790, North Carolina d. 23 Dec 1823, Lincoln County, Tennessee (Age ~ 33 years)
  Marriage	5 Oct 1811	Fayette County, Kentucky   [1]
  	Melba Gene McLemore notes this is actually the bond date, not marriage date. 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. Sterling C. McLemore appears in Lincoln Co court records numerous times and he died there and his estate is there dated March 1825. All of this matches the Goodspeeds story for the family of Sterling J. McLemore (Sr) except the father's name should have been S. C. The heirs of Sterling J. McLemore (Sr) can be found in Partition Case #1072 in Coffee County, TN County Court loose papers." http://www.jenforum.org/mclemore/messages/768.html
