    Notes 
    • In his book, James L. McLemore, III writes that Burwell's "wife's given name was Amy, and though it has not yet been established, her maiden name was almost certainly GILLIAM. She could have been a younger daughter of John GILLIAM Jr. (who had an Amy among his younger children), but it is more likely that her father was Charles GILLIAM, the son of Hinchea and Fortune (Flood) GILLIAM, who were all neighbors of the McLemores. Charles and Mary (CLANTON) GILLIAM are listed in the "Albemarle Parish Register" as being the parents of five children: Fortune (b. 1742), Lydia (b. 1744), Phoebe and John, twins, (b. 1751) and Jordan (b. 1757). These were their youngest five children; it is known that they had at least two other children: Charles Jr. (the oldest) and Edmund, to both of whom Charles Sr. gave land. His gift to Edmund in 1757 indicates a probable birth date for him of 1736 or before, with Charles Jr. certainly older than that. Amy (GILLIAM) McLemore, if indeed an older child of Charles GILLIAM Sr., would probably have been born sometime in the (early) 1730's.........There is no proof that he (Charles GILLIAM) had a daughter named Amy. However, Charles GILLIAM was security on the bond of Burwell's mother Faith when she qualified on the estate of her husband John MACKLEMORE in early 1767, and then himself died later that same year. In addition, Amy is a name used within both the GILLIAM and CLANTON families, Burwell and his wife Amy had a close association with both of these families, and they named two of their younger sons Charles and Gilliam, all of which tends to support this thesis (James L. McLemore, III, pp. 69, 70).

    • Burwell Maclemore and his wife, Amy, had a large family: eleven children in all have been identified, but only two had their births recorded in the Albermarle Parish Register. The first was Sally, born June 2, 1754, and baptized August 25, 1754. Sponsors or godparents included her aunt and uncle, Robert and Lydia Magee, as well as a Gilliam. A second daughter "Molly" (Mary) was shown in the Register as being born July 24, and baptized September 14, 1760. There was a sufficient interval in between these two for the birth of at least one other child (probably Howell), and the others followed along thereafter: John, Lucy, Lydia, Ann or Anna, Burwell Jr., Gilliam, Charles and James, probably in something close to that order, with their births running right up nearly to the outbreak of the American Revolution, when Burwell would have been 55, and Amy in her early to mid 40's. Neither his first born daughter Sally nor his wife is mentioned in his will, which was dated September 21, 1793, and admitted to probate October 4, 1798. (B. F. McLemore His Ancestors and Descendants, James L. McLemore III (c. 1991) pp. 81-82).
