    Notes 
    • Probably the oldest of John McLemore's three sons. His father had devised his plantation to Joel and John, with the division between them to be made by his executors. No record has been found of this division, but thereafter the two appear to treat their shares separately. Joel seems to have ended up with the 80 acres, more or less, lying on the north side of Frank's Branch, while John must have received the remaining part (100 acres, more of less) lying south of the branch. (James L. McLemore, III, p. 63)

      Apparently John III's only deed record was a chattel mortgage in which he conveyed certain personal property to Humphrey DREWRY to secure the latter 42 pounds in current money of Virginia. This instrument was dated April 8, 1797, and recorded October 16, 1797 (Southampton Deed Book 8, p. 681). He made no conveyance of any land during his lifetime, and apparently what he received from his father he died with. It uncertain when John died, but the same Humphrey DREWRY qualified before the Southampton County Court on February 20, 1815, on the estate of John McLemore, presumably John III (Southampton Order Book 13, p. 63); it is undoubtedly the same John McLemore who gave the chattel morgage above. (James L. McLemore, III, p. 64). James L. McLemore, III goes on to detail some conflicting, but undocumented information, that John MAY have still been alive at the time of death of his brother James, said to be dated September 17, 1820.
