Generation: 3

  1. 6.  Gilliam McLemore was born between 1782 and 1784 in North Carolina (son of Ephraim McLemore, Jr. and Hannah Hudspeth); died about 1860.

    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.

Generation: 4

  1. 12.  Ephraim McLemore, Jr. was born about 1738 in Surry County, North Carolina (son of Ephraim Macklemore and ??? ???); died in 1798 in Surry County, North Carolina.

    Notes:

    James L. McLemore, III writes that "It is possibly the younger Ephraim who is listed in 1768 on the Rowan County tax list. Rowan County, NC lies about halfway between Charlotte and Winston-Salem, hence it is in the west-central portion of the state, far from the centers of early McLemore settlement. He is known to have died in 1798, at age 60, in Surry County, North Carolina, which lies northwest of Winston-Salem, along the Virginia line. He probably arrived there by 1781, when he witnessed the will of Joseph MASTERS dated June 14th of that year. Ephraim Macklemore Jr. owed certain monies to the estate of one Robert WALKER in 1784, which remained unpaid as late as 1786, all in Surry County. The first U.S. Census places him in Surry County in 1790, and his will was probated in that county in 1798.
    (James L. McLemore, III, pp 47, 48).

    James McKinney shows an earlier arrival date to Surry County than James L. McLemore does. Mr. McKinney states that Ephraim was on the 1775 Surry County, NC Tax List. He also noted that in 1778 he entered 570 acres of land on the county line on a small branch of Hunters Creek, being the land "he now lives on."

    James L. McLemore indicates that "In his will, he names his wife Hannah (who was left the use of all of his property while she remained a widow), sons Sterling, Wright, William, John, and Gilliam, and daughters Martha JONES, Kersey CONNA, Hannah McLemore, Rebecca McLemore, Fanny McLemore, and Sally McLemore. One of his executors was a Nicholas MASTERS; recalling that Ephraim Jr witnessed the will of Joseph MASTERS in 1781, it is possible that we have here a connection between the Masters family and Ephraim Jr."

    Dr. Leverett also notes that Ephraim was listed in Captain Jeffrey's Company in 1754 of the Granville Co Militia (Colonial Granville Co and its People, Worth Ray). Vol. 22, p. 370-380 N.C. State Records: Ephraim McLemore Private in Captain Osborne Jeffrey's Company, Co. C. William Eaten's Regt, Granville Co., N.C, Oct 8, 1754. James McKinney instead shows that he served as a Private in the Reg. of Col. William Eaton of Granville Couny.

    The 1790 Surry Co NC census shows 1 white male 16+, 3 white males 16-; and 5 females. The 1810 N.C. census shows an E. McLemore in Bladen Co. (Source: Dr. Rudy Leverett note card on Ephraim McLemore).

    More information about this family can also be found in the Collections of Dubie Hudspeth:

    http://www.geocities.com/blsa44/Ralphhudspethjr.html

    Ephraim married Hannah Hudspeth about 1760 in Surry County, North Carolina. Hannah (daughter of Ralph Hudspeth, Jr. and Catherine ???) was born between 1740 and 1745 in Virginia; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 13.  Hannah Hudspeth was born between 1740 and 1745 in Virginia (daughter of Ralph Hudspeth, Jr. and Catherine ???); and died.

    Notes:
