    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,
    B. A. Jackson, Chm'n

    Martha C. McLemore
    Feb 10, 1819
    Nov 8, 1843
    Consort of Moses McLemore

    Jim Strain (jstrain@nmu.edu) emailed, on July 16, 2009, that "The first wife of Moses McLemore was Martha C. EDWARDS, daughter of Jesse Edwards and Rebecca Scoggin who both died in Montgomery Co., AL. She and Moses McLemore are named in Jesse's estate settlement as husband and wife, and Moses assumes guardianship of several of Martha's siblings. I, too, have only her dates from the grave marker, and their marriage was recorded in Montgomery Co., AL as 13 OCT 1838, which also seems a bit problematic in regards to dates of the estate and children's births. I don't know how to sort out the conflicting dates, and I'll look to see if the order of listing may suggest in any way the actual birth dates of Jesse's children. Perhaps Martha was actually born in 1809? She is definitely not listed as a minor, nor as a minor above the age of 14, at the time of Jesse's death, as are several of his children. Moses McLemore became the guardian of my direct ancestor, Joseph Jackson "Jack" Edwards. I have copies of his family Bible, but I don't believe his siblings are listed.

    Jim added that on "March 8th, 1858, William Edwards, administrator of Jesse Edwards states "To the Hon David Campbell Judge Probate Montgomery County" that "Martha C McLemore decd the former wife of Moses McLemore of Montgomery County who was a daughter of deceased and who was living at the death of said Jesse Edwards and who has no representative." had an interest in the sale of Land from the Estate. William had omitted 3 children of Jesse from the list of heirs at the sale of the land, as they were all deceased, and he wasn't informed correctly that they needed to be included so that their heirs might benefit from the sale of the land."


    His genealogy website can be found at:

    http://faculty.nmu.edu/jstrain/

    Jim's website also had the following transcription of Jesse Edward's estate settlement, from p. 603 of the Orphan's Court book dated Feb. 25, 1839, posted.

    This day came William Edwards?
    And it appearing from said account that there remains in the hands of said Administrator the sum of six thousand eight hundred and forty one 50/100 dollars accruing from the sale of the real estate ? and the further sum of three thousand and eighty four 03/100 dollars, Job Norman is entitled to one fifth part ? to wit- to the sum of six hundred and sixteen 80/100 dollars ? it is ordered therefore that William Edwards, Administrator, as aforesaid pay to the said Job Norman the said sum of six hundred and sixteen 80/100 dollars ? which will be in full for his portion of said estate in right of his wife, the former widow of said deceased. ?
    And it further appearing that a portion of the heirs at law of said deceased had received in his life time property by way of advancement, the value of which is assessed upon among the heirs as follows:
    Amount advanced to Moses McLemore $465
    Joseph J Edwards 75.00
    William Edwards 115.00
    William B Bazzer 100.0
    $755.00
    Which added to the above sum of $9925.53 portion allotted to Job Norman being first deducted therefrom ? make the sum of ten thousand and sixty three 73/100 dolllars subject to distribution among the remaining eight heirs., entitling each heir who to receive as advancement to the sum of twelve hundred and fifty seven 96/100 dollars and each heir who has received advancement the sum of twelve hundred and fifty seven 96/100 dollars first deducting therefrom the sum so received by them respectfully.
    William Edwards, pay to Bayzer, $1157 96/100
    To Moses McLemore, right of wife, $792 96/100
    To J. J. Edwards $1182 96/100
    To J. J. Edwards as guardian of Sarah C. Edwards $1257 96/100
    To Riley Norman right of wife Rebecca, $1257 96/100
    To William, guardian of Jesse L Edwards, $1257 96/100
    To Job Norman, guardian of George W Edwards, $1257 96/100
    William Edwards, keep his portion $1142 96/100.

    (Research):Need to verify her date of birth, as it seems unlikely sh
    e would have been able to be the mother of a son born in 1830, as cemetery records for her son Joseph Franklin McLemore seem to indicate. She would have only been 11 years old at the time.

    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.

  1. 4.  Rev. James McLemore, IV was born on 9 Feb 1782 in Granville County, North Carolina (son of James McLemore, III and Elizabeth Walker); died on 20 Nov 1834 in Montgomery, Montgomery County, Alabama; was buried in McLemore Taylor Burying Ground, Montgomery County, Alabama.

    Notes:

    The younger James (IV), a minister, died in 1834 in Alabama, leaving a widow Mary Elizabeth (Harper) and ten children. (James L. McLemore, III, p 50).

    "Born in North Carolina and for more than 30 years was a leading divine of the Baptist persuasion. He had finished his pilgrimage on earth and nothing of him now remains but the memory of his virtue."

    Melba Gene McLemore notes that the "Alabama Genealogical Register, V. 6, No. 3.4, Sept-Dec 1964 cites a Will for a James McLemore, will dated 31 July 1832, probated 26 Jan 1835.

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  James McLemore, III was born between 1739 and 1740 in North Carolina (son of James Macklemore, Jr. and Nancy Jones); died about 1811 in Hancock County, Georgia.

    Notes:

    In 1769 we find a James McLemore and three taxable whites listed in Granville County, North Carolina. This was probably James III, his wife Elizabeth, and their two oldest children. A year later (1770) "James McLemore Sr." (James Jr.) took an oath in Granville, and the use of the Sr. indicated the presence of a namesake son (James III), who was probably the subject of the above mentioned tax list reference the year before. James III would have been about thirty at this point. Then, in 1772 a James is mentioned in the will of Robert WALLACE, but it is unclear which one of the two is meant. However, the James McLemore who signed the (subsequent?) Granville County Oath of Allegience on May 30, 1778, was most probably James III, then about age 39.

    James McLemore, Jr. (III) bought land from Benjamin McCULLOH in Granville County in 1779. The use of "Jr." indicates that his father may still have been living.

    Futher references to James McLemore in Granville County probably refer to this James McLemore, or to his son, the Rev. James McLemore (1782-1834). Father and son moved to Hancock County, Georgia, after 1803, where the elder James died in 1811. His children were subsequently named in the will of his brother, Charles McLemore who died in Georgia as well in 1815. Charles had no children and named as his heirs James's children: John, William, James Jr. (IV), Rebecca Jones, Pleasant and Jesse. James' widow, Elizabeth, was named as executrix.

    (James L. McLemore, III, pp 49, 50).
