Gilliam McLemore

Abt 1772 - Bef 1814  (~ 42 years)

• Name	Gilliam McLemore  [1]
  Birth	Abt 1772	Virginia
  Gender	Male
  Death	Bef 7 Feb 1814	Sussex County, Virginia   [2]
  Notes	The inventory of Gilliam's estate was filed in Sussex County May 5, 1814, and a first accounting filed August 3, 1815, showed $10 paid to his sister Anna for keeping his children briefly, and accounts were paid to his brother James and to the latter's father-in-law, Daniel Harwood as well. In about 1815 or 1816 Sylvia McLemore, widow of Gilliam McLemore, filed suit against his administrator. In this suit all six children were named, probably in the order of their births: Amy, Polly, Henry, Burwell G., Betsey and Rebecca. Polly and Betsey are not found elsewhere in the records, except that is is possible that Polly was the Mary who married Turner NEWTON in March 1827 (Sussex Marriage Register, p. 371), since her cousin Fanny (Frances L.) married Thomas NEWTON. However, the "Mary" in this Marriage record, even if called by the nickname Polly, could also have been the daughter of Howell McLemore or John McLemore III. Henry apparently died before reaching his teenage years, probably in late 1815. An accounting of his estate with first entry on December 25, 1815, was filed on May 7, 1829 (Sussex Will Book L, p. 155). (James L. McLemore, III, pp. 77-78).

  Father	Burwell McLemore, Sr.,   b. Bef 1721, Virginia d. Abt 1798, Sussex County, Virginia (Age ~ 77 years)
  Mother	Amy Gilliam,   b. Abt 1730, Surry County, Virginia d. Bef 1793, Sussex County, Virginia (Age ~ 62 years)
  Marriage	Bef 1753  [3, 4]
  	Burwell Maclemore and his wife, Amy, had a large family: eleven children in all have been identified, but only two had their births recorded in the Albermarle Parish Register. The first was Sally, born June 2, 1754, and baptized August 25, 1754. Sponsors or godparents included her aunt and uncle, Robert and Lydia Magee, as well as a Gilliam. A second daughter "Molly" (Mary) was shown in the Register as being born July 24, and baptized September 14, 1760. There was a sufficient interval in between these two for the birth of at least one other child (probably Howell), and the others followed along thereafter: John, Lucy, Lydia, Ann or Anna, Burwell Jr., Gilliam, Charles and James, probably in something close to that order, with their births running right up nearly to the outbreak of the American Revolution, when Burwell would have been 55, and Amy in her early to mid 40's. Neither his first born daughter Sally nor his wife is mentioned in his will, which was dated September 21, 1793, and admitted to probate October 4, 1798. (B. F. McLemore His Ancestors and Descendants, James L. McLemore III (c. 1991) pp. 81-82). Copied from Rev. William P.

Nathaniel Chambliss, also a Baptist minister (Sussex Marriage Register, pp. 147, 292). Too many wifes may have been his undoing, for within three months of his last marriage he died intestate...he was survived by his last wife, Sylvia and five children plus one "en ventre sa mere." (James L. McLemore, III. p 77).
