Matthew McLemore

Abt 1808 - Yes, date unknown

• Name	Matthew McLemore  [1, 2]
  Birth	Abt 1808	South Carolina   [1, 2]
  Gender	Male
  Death	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	Shown by Ann and Eldon McLemore of Kansas as a son of John McLemore and Winnie Baltice, and sibling to Wesley, Rueben, Dorcas, John and Robert. Instead shown by Mark Freeman and others as a son of Amos and Equilla McLemore. It is assumed, based on the reasearch of Ann and Eldon McLemore, that he is likely a sibling of Reuben and Dorcus McLemore, also born in South Carolina within a few years of Matthew, and also living in Copiah County, Mississippi at the the time of the 1850 census. However, his parents have not been proven. Ann and Eldon note that Rueben McLemore filed a bond for $16,000 in Copiah. Named on the bond were Elizabeth McLemore, Virginia Marsh, Mathew McLemore and Uriah Millsap, dated 5 Dec 1860. Signed by all except Virginia. The 1860 Copiah County, Mississippi slave census shows that M. McLemore owned 8 slaves. Other slaveowners with the McLemore surname in Copiah County were John McLemore, with 1 slave, and Reuben McLemore, with 5. Nicole Martin posted the following to the Genforum McLemore Surname board: I have Reuben as son of John McLemore. Siblings, if correct, are Robert, Wesley,Reuben, Matthew, John, and Dorcus. There may be more sisters. I find John McLemore in Hinds County in 1830 and Rankin County in 1840. I believe he is the John McLemore listed in the 1810 and 1820 census in Barnwell District, SC. I also do not believe this is the son of Major John McLemore. I believe that his brothers (at least) were Howell and Matthew (see 1810 Barnwell Census). One of Matthew's grandsons, Howell W came to Hinds County to marry and then later returned to Barnwell. Later, Matthew's daughter Sarah Page moves to Copiah County. I believe Howell is the one that ended up in Emanuel County, GA. http://genforum.genealogy.com/mclemore/messages/1039.html (Research): Census Listings: 1850 Census Mississippi, Copiah County Enumerated 6 Sept 1850 460-460 Matthew McLemore 42 M Farmer 640 SC Emma McLemore 32 F Miss James McLemore 15 M Laborer Miss Mary McLemore 12 F Miss Ruth McLemore 8 F Miss Rebecca A.
