    Notes 
    • "The last (and probably youngest) son of Burwell and Amy Maclemore was James. Born just before the outbreak of the American Revolution, he was devised the final third of his father's "Pine Log" plantation. Twenty years after his father's death he sol most of his inheritance from his father to Edward REESE by deed dated May 24, 1817, and recorded April 2, 1818 (Sussex Deed Book M, p. 313). He then sold the balance of his inherited lands by deed, in which his wife Rebecca joined, to Joel HAILES dated February 26, 1825, and recorded March 3, 1825 (Sussex Deed Book O, p. 264). By this time, James was probably at least fifty years old, perhaps more. He thereafter disappears from the records without further trace, but is presumed to have died intestate sometime during the next decade or so, rather than moved away, because of his age and because of his children who remained in the area will into the 1840's or longer. (James L. McLemore, III, pp. 78-79).

    • 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).
