8. | Amos McLemore was born on 3 Dec 1829 in Chickasaw County, Mississippi (son of William McLemore and Martha Joiner); died on 2 Sep 1903 in Lauderdale County, Mississippi; was buried in Oak Grove Baptist Church Cemetery, Meridian, Lauderdale County, Mississippi. Notes:
Rev. William P. McLemore, in a section on his website devoted to Notable McLemore's (Website: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/3476/mclem1.htm), has the following biography:
Amos McLemore was a planter of Lauderdale County, Mississippi, born in Chickasaw County, December 3, 1829. His parents, William and Martha (Joiners) McLemore, were born in North Carolina and Tennessee in 1800, respectively, moved to Covington County when he was but a child, and in 1838 they moved to Lauderdale County and settled near where Meridian is now situated. Amos was married in 1855 to Miss Mary Jane McShan, of Lauderdale County, by whom he had nine children: William, Andrew, Virginia, Fannie, Acquila, Laura, Kirkland, and a son who lived only a month. At the opening of the Civil War, Mr. McLemore enlisted in the Confederate Army and upon the return of peace, he turned his attention to planting, notwithstanding the fact that, during the war, his plantation had been rifled of all valuables, and had grown up to weeds. He turned his attention to the culture of cotton, in which he was quite successful and made money. He owned one thousand acres of land, three miles northeast of Meridian, MS. He was considered a self-made man, well posted on general topics of the day, benevolent, charitable, and generous, but not active in politics.

***Is this is stepsister, Sarah Alford Fortson? Some researchers speculate that she married her step brother, William McLemore. If so, this would make her both a stepsister and sister-in-law to Amos. Sarah Alford Fortson, however, was born ca 1837 in Alabama. This would make her around age 43 in 1880. Lauderdale, Mississippi marriage records show a Mrs Mary Fortson and William McLemore marrying on 12 July 1840.

FindAGrave also links an additional daughter, Corina Victoria McLemore (1884-1902) to them. She is also buried at the Oak Grove Baptist Church Cemetety in Meridian. This should be verified due to the significant gap in time between her birth and her older siblings, as well as the age (46) of Mary Jane McShan McLemore at the time of Corina's birth. Finally, a Corina McLemore, born Feb 1884 per census records, was living in Lauderdale County, Mississippi in the home of William F. McLemore and Alice Shackleford.
