John McLemore

1790 -

• Name	John McLemore  [1, 2]
  Birth	Between 1785 and 1790	Surry County, North Carolina   [2]
  Gender	Male
  Death	Kentucky   [2]
  Notes	John is shown by several researchers to have married Ruth Steelman. Ruth's dates are 1790-1850. A marraige date of 7 April 1810 in Surry County, North Carolina is shown. This should be verified. Paul Williams excerpted information from a paper about the family of Ephraim McLemore written by James M. McKinney. McKinney indicated that there was a John McLemore on the 1811 Rockcastle Co. Tax list, but that there did not seem to be further reference to him in the Rockcastle records. Douglas McLemore is working to prove he is descended from this line, as follows: James McLemore (1662-1735) -- Fortain Gilliam (1668-????) | Ephraim McLemore (????-????) -- Unknown (????-????) | Ephraim McLemore (????-????) -- Hannah Hudspeth (1740-1798) | John McLemore (1790-????) -- Ruth Steelman (1790-1850) | John McLemore (1820-????) -- Eliza ? (1816-1897) | Hiram Greene McLemore (1843-1926)----Nancy Ellen Heiffner (1862-????) | Andrew Jackson McLemore (1876-1933) --Rosa Russel (1880-1972) | Dickie McLemore (1904-1993) -- Della Mae Miller (1917-1993) | His Father | Douglas McLemore He is certain from himself up to Eliza McLemore showing her children including Hiram Greene in both 1860 in KY then IN in 1880. Census data also connects Hiram Greene McLemore to his great grand father Andrew Jackson McLemore in IN and then IL. In KY in 1850 Eliza is shown with her children (including Hiram) and also what is believed to be her mother-in-law Ruth (Steelman) McLemore. What seems to be missing is the husbands of both Eliza and Ruth (which Doug got from hearsay were both widowed). This makes it difficult to connect everything back to James and Abraham Macklamore. He has also found deed records of the right time (1870s) in Salem, Washington County, Indiana to show both Nancy Ellen Heiffner and an Elizabeth Ellen McLemore buying property there. He suspects Elizabeth Ellen is synonomous with Eliza. He also found the wedding license for Nancy Ellen Heiffner and Hiram Greene McLemore, and has electric photos of all of these records including the plot map from 1878 showing N. McLemore on one of the plots.
