    Notes 
    • In a letter dated October 29, 1986, written by James L. McLemore, III to Rudy Leverett, it is noted that by deed dated December 30, 1809, and recorded in July, 1811, in Southampton Deed Book 12, page 354, Joel WESTBROOK and his first wife Rebecca [Nicholson] conveyed to her kinsman John NICHOLSON 43 3/4 acres, being 1/4 of a tract of 175 acres, "Beginning at a maple by the side of poplar swamp a corner tree of WRIGHT McLEMORE's thence by said McLemore's line to a red oak, thence N. East course to lightwood post in Adam IVEY's thence along said IVEY's to a maple by the side of the northwest prong of the Mery? branch, thence down the various courses of said branch (to) poplar swamp, thence down the said Swamp to the beginning."

      IT IS NOT KNOWN, however, which of the several contemporaneous Wright McLemore's this deed description relates to. James McLemore also notes that it is not unusual for an old description to be copied and recopied into subsequent deeds without making any attempt to correct adjoining land owners after their death or after the sale to a new owner. However, he states that his experience with deeds of that era seems to indicate that the draftsmen of those conveyences tried to keep up with who was the current adjoining land owner. Hence he believes that a Wright McLemore owned land adjoining Joel Westbrook and Adam Ivey on Poplar Swamp in 1809.

    • Only two children are known with reasonable certainty: the older Wright McLemore, and the younger, Ephraim Maclemore Jr. (1738-1798). (James L. McLemore, III, p 47).

      Thought by many to have married a woman whose last name was WRIGHT based on the name of his son. His brother, William, also named a son WRIGHT. They both may have married into the WRIGHT family, or it might be that the WRIGHT surname belonged to a common ancestor, and was not the last name of either of their spouses.
