    Notes 
    • Said to be the daughter of Sugar JONES. (James L. McLemore, III, p 44). Mark Freeman instead shows her as the daughter of Edward JONES and Abigail SUGARS.

      Jack White emailed, in September 2016, that: Sarah Jones received a very large land grant on Lee's Branch in Granville Co in 1762 (700 acres). Atkins McLemore (as Adkins McKlemore) received a grant on Lee'a Branch, a tributary of Shocco Creek in that same year, showing Sarah Jones as the adjacent property owner. He believes this Sarah Jones was nee Sarah Franklin, the widow of Capt. Shugan "Sugar" Jones, who had died in 1761, and that it was this "Sarah Jones" who married Atkins McLemore around 1762. He also noted that he had "also located the 1761 will of Sugar Jones and a 1774 division of his estate. There is no mention in either of a daughter, Sarah. Atkins McLemore was one of the executors of that will, along with Sugar's unnamed wife. That, together with the fact that Sarah Jones and Atkins McLemore in 1761 were listed as neighbors in their respective land grants, leads me to believe that McLemore married the widow of his neighbor, Sugar Jones. I've attached the will transcript and the division records." He later added that "she might well have been Sugar's sister, as many researchers believe. The will and estate papers of Sugar Jones, however, make it pretty clear that he did not have a daughter named Sarah, so I think that possibility can be dismissed."
