    unmarked outside all enclousures. Graves listed begin at the southwest
    corner of the plot.

    (Medical):A direct male descendant, still bearing the McLemore surname, participated in the Morrison yDNA study. He was predicted to be in the R1a haplogroup, common in many parts of Eurasia and Scandanavia. However, he does not currently have any matches among the other 15 members with the McLemore surname in the study. It is possible that there were several founding McLemore lines, instead of just one as has been long assumed. Or another possibility could be that undisclosed adoptions have occurred through the generations of descendants of both James and/or Abraham.

    Andrew married Margaret Selemma Caffey on 18 Jan 1838 in Montgomery County, Alabama. Margaret (daughter of John Caffey and Elizabeth Patrick) was born on 28 Oct 1819 in Montgomery County, Alabama; died on 26 Apr 1852 in Montgomery County, Alabama; was buried in McLemore Taylor Burying Ground, Montgomery County, Alabama.

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).
