    Notes 
    • Young followed his brother Atkins westward. After buying 100 acres from Atkins in 1753, then selling 100 acres to Edward Robertson with Atkins in 1755, Young also began operations in Granville County, buying 275 acres there on both sides of Shocco Creek by deed witnessed by his brother.

      Sept. 18, 1759 - Littlebury Swinney also White, aged 9 yrs May 15, 1759, bound to Young McLemore "to learn the business of a Planter and to have a years Schooling", said McLemore "at the time of his freedom" agrees to give him "a young Horse Bridle & Saddle & decert suit of Cloaths." (Source: Bastardy Bonds from Granville County, N.C., 1749-1780, as transcribed at:

      Young remained for a time, however, in Northampton County, serving in 1760 in that county's militia as a private in the cavalry troop of Capt. Henry Dawson. He was granted, also in 1760, 640 acres on both sides of Flat Creek in Granville County, and from then on made his home there. He picked up an additional 543 acres at the head of Shocco Creek, near his earlier tract, in February 1762.

      Within three months, in May 1762, Young sold 200 acres on the north side of Shocco Creek, adjoining Ward and Macon. He was joined in this deed by his wife, Lucy. Thereafter, his lands seem to share a jurisdictional history similiar to Atkins', being found first in Granville County (where Young witnessed two deeds in 1763), then in Bute County (where he also witnessed a deed in 1766), then in Warren County (where he picked up four extra acres on the South Side of Sandy Creek in 1779), and finally in Franklin County where both he and his son Young Jr. were heads of household in the first U.S. Census of 1790.

      On the last day of 1803, Young McLemore signed his will, and it was probated in Williamson County in April 1804. His principal legatees were his daughter Sukey GRAY and her children, though he mentioned another granddaughter as well. He is also known to have had at least two sons, Young Jr. and Nathaniel. His wife, Lucy died shortly before he did in 1803.
