      In 1860, in Little Coharie, Sampson County, the following family can be found.
      431-414
      Sarah McLemor 70 F $125 North Carolina
      Tobias " 24 M Turpentine Maker North Carolina
      Sarah " 30 F North Carolina

      It was also indicated that neither Sarah's could read or write. Presumably Tobias was able to. Additionally, in Sampson County on 10 May1862 a Tabitha McLEMORE married Mechack HALES. Might this be one of the missing daughters of Tobias McLemore? If she was his daughter, however, it is not known where she was at the time of the 1850 or 1860 census.

      Robert McLemore Butler notes that a Tobias McLEMORE was a Pvt. Co A Regt 30 Inf. Born in 1838 in Sampson County. He was a turpentine distiller. Enlisted September 1, 1861 in Clinton. Hospitalized August 1862 at Lynchburg VA.

    • Archibald McLemore of Duplin/Sampson County, NC was NOT married to Sarah PLUMLEY/PLUMEE as is sometimes shown. It was actually a younger Archibald (a son of John McLemore, the Revolutionary Soldier), born 1787 in North Carolina and later moved to Knox County, Tennessee, who married Sarah Plumlee sometime before 1807, when their children were born. This was well after the birth of the four sons currently attributable to the elder Archibald McLemore of Duplin/Sampson County, NC.


      In addition to at least four sons born to Archibald and his unknown wife, Robert McLemore Butler also shows they had a daughter Susan, born ca 1770, and James McLemore, III shows a daughter, Lavinia (or Susannah), born ca 1790.
