There is a Mattie E. SPARKS, born 17 Oct 1898, buried at the Aldridge Grove Church of Christ. Ancestry.com links this record to Mattie E. McLemore, born ca Oct 1894-1896. The husband of Mattie Sparks is shown as Luther N. SPARKS (1896-1951) who also has a memorial on FindAGrave. As the obituary of their son, Woodie Sparks, shows his mother as Mattie McLemore Sparks, so it is assumed this is indeed the same person, even through the year of birth is not exactly the same.
Pleasant McLemore, in a letter to his niece Irene, recalled that "As had his brother Felix, Bob had the same problem (romance), so he sent his daughter Maud to me...". Pleasant did not appear as fond of his niece Maud as he was of niece Minnie.
My mother, Maurine McLemore Butler, passed away on February 5, 2007 in Jackson, Tennessee. She was 92.
She was a descendant of the Scottish immigrant Abraham McLemore and was born in Gibson County, TN. Her parents were James Knox McLemore and Lennie Ethel Luckey. Grandparents were James Knox Polk McLemore (1843-1908) and Margaret Caroline Jackson (1855-1932)
Maurine McLemore married Fred I. Butler in Gibson County in 1935.
Some of you may be familiar with my mother, and this is to help you update your family history information. She was quite a woman.

Maxine can be found in the Jamestown, PA Phone directory in 1996 and 1997, so likely died in that area in 1999. The "Obituary Dailey Times Index, 1995-2012" shows her death as in Jamestown.

When he completed his registration for the draft during World War I, he was farming for himself in Rogersville, Alabama, also his place of birth. He had a wife and one child as dependents. He was show as Medium heighth and build, with brown eyes and light hair. The registration form was completed on June 5, 1917.
I have ASSUMED that based on the 1900 Limestone County, Alabama Census, McLin is the son of the Joel H. McLemore of Limestone/Lauderdale Alabama , a son of Maclin B. McLemore. Maclin B.'s son Joel is the correct age, continued to live in proximity to his parents and siblings, and seemed to have named his son after his father. Additionally, McLin's widow is living next to a Maclin B. McLemore at the time of the 1930 census. This older Maclin B. McLemore would have been a brother to Joel H. McLemore and Uncle to McLin. However, MaryLynn Santa shows McLins' father as Joel Henry, whereas the Joel H. McLemore of Limestone/Lauderdale might actually be Joel Halbert McLemore.
Other researchers have not drawn a conclusion as to the parentage of Joel H. McLemore, so my conclusion may be premature, and further work should be done to prove this. It might instead be possible that McLin is instead the son of Joel H. McLemore of Hickman County, TN, and grandson of Joel McLemore Sr and his wife Harriet McLearen. The location and age of this other Joel H. McLemore, however, are not as good of a match.

Pleasant McLemore wrote to his grandniece Irene that Minnie's father, Felix, "sent her to me to break up a romance with a young man who he didn't approve of, I don't know if his plan proved a succes of not...." in a later letter he added that "my wife and I became fond of her when she was visiting us in San Antonio."
Her daughter Maurine reported that Minnie Bell was never referred to as Mrs. Gaines, but always "Minnie Bell." She was five feet tall, weighed only 89 pounds, and had a 25 inch waist, being "prissey as she could be."
She was a life long Methodist and very religious, not approving of her father owning a saloon, refering to it only as "father's business."
She died after a fall when she was 92, hurting her ribs and never recovering fully.

Moses was the great grandfather of Maj. Amos McLemore, C.S.A., whom was the subject of Dr. Rudy Leverett's book "Ole Rosinheels: A Genealogical Sketch of the Famil of Major Amos McLemore, 27th Mississippi Infantry Regiment, C.S.A." James McLemore notes that a more particular outline of the activities and descendants of Wright McLemore can be found in that book (James L. McLemore, III, p 51).
James McLemore has shown the date of death for Moses as circa 1761.
If the references below, however, are for the SAME Moses McLemore, then he was alive until at least 1783.
Robert McLemore Butler shows that Moses McLemore and Thomas AMES were witnesses to a deed between Abraham HUGGINS & Mary, his wife, to Howell HARTGRAVE dated 1769. (Deed Book 4, page 159)
I also have in my notes, unsourced, a reference to a deed between Bedreadan CARRAWAY and Moses MACLEMORE dated 19 Aug 1775, with 20 pds being paid for 100 acres. Ref: MACLEMORE, Mose, Grantee Page 559, book 3
In 1779, Moses McLEMORE and Thomas LIGHTWOOD were witnesses to a deed between James THALLEY to Lewis WILLIAMSON (Deed Book 6, pg 448), and on 1 Apr 1780 Grant #160 was to Moses McLEMORE for 188 acres on the S W side of Hoes Swamp (Book 41, pg 63) (Courtesy Robert McLemore Butler).

(Abstracted by Melinda McLemore Strong on 7 July 2005)
A subscriber to Genforum (email address marked private), posted the following reply to a query about Moses that I posted:
This Moses McLemore is the grandson of William, but it is uncertain if his father was Wright or Richard. He died in Darlington County,(Old Cheraws District) SC in December 1787. Moses was living there when he died and his son, Amos, applied for letters of administration on his estate. Does anyone have any information on the children of this Moses?
James L. McLemore, III writes that for in the third editon of "Ole Rosinheels" Rudy began to doubt if Moses was Wright's son and suspect that he was Richard's. However, Jim still tends to follow the 2nd edition, because Moses spent most of his life with the other sons of Wright, first in Edgecombe County NC, the in the Duplin/Sampson Counties area in southeast North Carolina only at the end of his life did he apparently move across the line into northeast South Carolina to die in December 1787 in the area where Richard had died in 1771, and where Richard's children still lived. Leverett found good arguments on both sides of the issue (in the 3rd edition), but Jim still tends to go with Wright as Moses' father.
(Medical):A direct male descendant of Moses participated in the Morrision yDNA study.
The main purpose of this study was to prove that the immigrant founders of this family in America, James Macklemore and Abraham Macklemore, were brothers. If brothers, then the y-DNA of the direct male descendants of both men would match. However, instead of confirming this, it appears that we have AT LEAST two distinct yDNA groups, with three additional potential lines. The first cluster of matching yDNA has ten members, who are part of the R1b1a2 haplogroup (highlighted on the spreadsheet in salmon). The R1b DNA haplogroup, is the most common in Western Europe. The direct descendant of Moses McLemore was in he R1ba2 cluster, along with two other participants who trace their lines back to the immigrant Abraham Macklemore, the husband of Mary Young. If both these members are correct in their paper trails, AND if Amos can be proven to be a great-grandson of James Macklemore, then the assumption that James and Abraham have a common paternal ancestor is correct as descendants of both men share the same yDNA. The other six members of this first cluster all have the McLemore surname, and all can trace their lineages back to McLemore men who predate the Civil War, but have not conclusively linked themselves back to either James or Abraham.
See Morrison/McLemore DNA study results for Group O:
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.

Melba Gene McLemore found a book titled "Proceedings of the Fifty-Ninth Annual Sessio of the Alabama Baptist Association," which recorded the activities of the delegates from the churches that met at the church at Pine Level, Montgomery county, at 11 o'clock on Friday, October 11, 1878. Eld. McQueen presented the report of the Committee on Documents, and included in this report was that "Elim church (Montgomery county) reports the death of Deacon Moses McLemore." (page 7). A few pages later, in a report on obituaries "Since the last session of this body, four of the faithful workers in the Master's cause-Deacons R. H. Lee, Thomas W. Dunklin, F. L. Ellis, and Moses McLemore-have left our ranks for a purer clime. They have finished the work assigned them to do on the earth, and their light spirits have taken "homeward flight" to the land of rest. These all died in the faith, as they had lived, and haivng "used the office of Deason well," have "purchased to themselves a "good degree and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus." "Blessed are the deat that die in the Lord, yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors."
Resolved, first, that we bow in humble submission to this dispensation of God's providence...
Resolved, second, that we tender our heartfelt sympathies to the families of our lamented brethren, praying that the smiles of Heavan may settle on them.
Respectfully submitted,

From Memorial Record of Alabama (a book) published in 1893.
"MOSES McLEMORE, a prominent planter of Montgomery county, was born in this county in 1857. He is a son of Andrew J. and Sarah C. (Smith) McLemore, the former native of Jones county, Ga., the latter of Orangeburgh district, S. C. Andrew J. McLemore came with his parents to Alabama about 1820, received a common school education, and married Margaret Caffey, who died leaving three daughters. In 1854 Mr. Mclemore married again, and spent the rest of his life in the vicinity of Moses McLemore's present home. He owned a fine plantation, and negroes, was never in public life nor performed any military service. He was well read and had a large fund of information. He was for many years a member of the Missionary Baptist Church, and died in 1870, aged fifty-five. His father was the Rev. James McLemore, a Missionary Baptist Minister, who came from Georgia to Alabama about 1820, and followed the ministry in this state for many years. He is said to have built the first church in Montgomery county. He was a Virginian by birth, and died before Moses McLemore was born, greatly loved by his people. His wife survived him by a number of years. She was an energetic woman, and attended the plantation affairs very successfully. They raised a large family of sons and daughters, only two of the daughters now surviving [ca.1893]. The mother of Moses McLemore is still living. She is a daughter of Jacob and Mary Smith, natives of South Carolina, where they lived all their lives. Mrs. McLemore came to Alabama with an uncle, Daniel Rast, who settled in Lowndes. She is the mother of four Children, viz.: Mary, Moses, Laura A. and Sterling Price. Moses was educated at the county schools and at Montgomery, and at the age of seventeen began life for himself as a farmer. He married, in 1890, Annie Benom Tanner, daughter of L. H. and Ophelia A. Tanner, who came from Georgia to Alabama. Mr. Tanner died at Union Springs, and Mrs. Tanner is still living. Mrs. McLemore was born in Tuskegee, Ala. Mr. McLemore is one of the leading farmers in the county, owning 2,900 acres of fine farming land. He has followed farming all his life, and for some years he also carried on merchandising, and ran a cotton gin. When he started in life he had but a few hundred dollars, inherited from his father's estate; now he is worth many thousands of dollars, all of which, with the exception just mentioned, he has aquired by his own industry and economy."

Pioneer Resident of County is Dead
Moses McLemore of Mitylene, Leading Citizen for Years, Passes Saturday
Moses McLemore, of Mitylene one of the leading citizens of Montgomery county, died Saturday afternoon at ? 30 o'clock at a local infirmary. Mr. McLemore had been in declining health for some months and in February grew rapidly worse, and he was brought to Montgomery for treatment. Saturday an operation was resorted to in a last attempt to prolong his life, but in vain. Members of the family were at his bedside when the end came.
The McLemores were a pioneer Montgomery family. They came to this county and settled on the rich farming lands in the famous old Mount Meigs vicinity 100 years ago. Always they have followed agriculture and with marked success. Moses McLemore, who was 63 years old at his death, had been born and reared on the family plantation on which he resided and which he operated for the whole of his life. He never lived elsewhere. He had long been recognized as one of the most successful planters in Middle Alabama. He was a gentleman of fine personal qualities and universally popular. He was a tender and devoted husband and father and a farmer who found the soil and its products a source of never-ending pleasure. The McLemore residence is one of the prettiest country places in Montgomery county. The numerous Montgomery friends of the family were frequently entertained within its hospitable walls. The dead planter is survived by his wife and three sons: A. J. McLemore, K T McLemore, and Price McLemore, all of Mitylene, and four daughters, Mrs. H. W. Walker of Millstead, Miss Alidah McLemore, Miss Cherita McLemore and Jane McLemore of Mitylene, and by two sisters, Miss Mary McLemore and Miss Adele McLemore, of Montgomery.
Funeral services will take place from the residence on the Mot. Meigs Road Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Dr. Charles A. Blakely of the First Baptist church, officiating. Interment will be at Oakwood.

McLemore Burying Ground, Montgomery, Alabama
From DAR records 1936
The McLemore Burying Ground is about one mile off the Montgomery -Atlanta
Highway to the right facing east, and is about five miles from Montgomery.
It is on a knoll behind the old James McLemore home built about 1820. In
1936 Mrs. Lizzie Taylor Dickerson occupied it. A low brick wall and
iron fence surrounds the lot. Outside the main cemetery is another smaller
one, also enclosed. There are graves of slaves and faithful servants, mostly
unmarked outside all enclousures. Graves listed begin at the southwest
corner of the plot.

Partha Hamilton emailed, in October 2011, that Mozelle passed away in California in 2002. I was unable to locate a Mozelle Hill on the SSDI that died in 2002. Possibly she remarried?
Robert Butler lists her as Mettie McLemore and Diane McLemore Harrison instead shows her as Mattie Hall.
Bonnie Adams Seiler, a niece, does not show a marriage to a Mr. HALL. She only lists a marriage to Joseph Forrest ATKINS. As Myrtie would only have been 14 at the time of the purported marriage to M.J. Hall, it appears that it may have actually been someone else who married him in 1904 in Cumberland County.

Obituary, per her FindAGrave memorial page created by WSalmond.
Myrtle McLemore Dutton
Funeral for Myrtle McLemore Dutton, 90, of Moulton was to be today, June 16, 2004, at 11 a.m. at Elliott Funeral Home with the Rev. Jackie Shelton officiating.
Burial was to be in Moulton Memory Gardens. Visitation was to be today from 10 to 11 a.m. at the funeral home.
Mrs. Dutton died Tuesday, June 15, 2004, at Summerford Nursing Home. She was born Nov. 5, 1913, in Lawrence County to Walter Thad McLemore and Della McCullough McLemore. She was a member of the Eastern Star and Central Park Baptist Church.
Survivors include one son, Maurice Dutton of Hohenwald, Tenn.; one daughter, Glenda Ford of Decatur; three sisters, Katie White of Falkville, Audrey Rogers of Decatur and Dorothy Parvin of Southgate, Mich.; five grandchildren, Fletcher Ford, Lisa Peery, Marion Dutton, Ed Dutton and Rod Dutton; and eight great-grandchildren.
Memorials may be made to Central Park Baptist Church of Decatur or to a favorite charity.
Said by Tom Heseltine to have been "born about 1793, married William PLUMLEE." The 1850 census, on which she was shown as 63, puts her date of birth earlier, circa 1787."
Nancy was married, according to the marriage bond issued on January 4, 1827 (Southampton Marriage Register, p. 367), to another McLemore, her cousin Joel (or perhaps John) McLemore, who was probably Joel the son of Howell McLemore, and neither subsequently appear in the records of the Southside clerk's office. (James L. McLemore, III, p. 67).
Married a Lockamy. There were numerous "Loccamy" families in Sampson County at the time of the 1860 census, but I could not find one indexed with a Nancy. There was a household in McDaniels Township consisting of Nathan and Martha I. Loccamy, with Martha being around the same age (28) as Nancy would have been.
At the time of the 1870 North Carolina Census, Sampson County, McDaniels Twp the following family is listed:
LOCKEMY Nancy 38 F W Keeping House $200 North Carolina Can't read/write
" George 4 M W at home North Carolina
McLEMORE David 18 M W Works on Farm North Carolina <---Appears to be her nephew, the orphaned son of Hezekiah McLemore
Bonnie Seiler shows that she married Daniel Lockemy, and that they were the parents of Etom, Anna, Moses, Needom, Anglelia, Robert and George.
Immediately following her household were Thomas and Rachel (McLemore) Smith.
According to Robert McLemore Butler, there was a Nancy McLEMORE of Sampson County who married, on 8 Feb 1858, Mr.Henry HALL. Marriage performed by Rev. Miles P. OWEN. It appears this was a different Nancy McLemore.
She and her brother Rufus were both very ill as young children. Rufus died young, but Addie grew into adulthood and married. She was never able to have children of her own, however.

Nicole Brooks is interested in any photos or information on the slaves of Nancy's father, Sugars McLemore. She is asking because her third great grandmother was one of them and with whom he fathered several children who are her direct ancestors. Her ancestors name was Amanda, and Sugars purchased her sometime around the mid to late 1840s in Memphis and took her to Brownsville. She remained in his household until around 1856 when she was then gifted to his daughter Nancy (Nannie) Dabney McLemore after she married Thomas Cole. If you have any information relating to the slaves held by this family, please contact Nicole at the email address below:
At the time of the 1880 census, she was living with her sister and brother-in-law, Louisa and Mial ABERNATHY.

Some researchers show her date of death as early as 1873. Henry Lee of McComb, Mississippi instead lists it as May 21, 1909, with her burial in the Green Creek Cemetery in Perry County, Mississippi. As this is the date that her husband's death was reported in a Covington County newspaper, he might be confusing the two.
