It is on a knoll behind the old James McLemore home built about 1820. In 1936 Mrs. Lizzie Taylor Dickerson occupied it. A low brick wall and iron fence surrounds the lot. Outside the main cemetery is another smaller one, also enclosed. There are graves of slaves and faithful servants, mostly unmarked outside all enclousures. Graves listed begin at the southwest corner of the plot. http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/al/montgomery/cemeteries/mclemore.txt PAR Number 20185411 State: Alabama Year: 1854 Location: Montgomery Location Type: County Abstract: A.

Brother M W 18 Ala Ga SC (Medical):A direct male descendant, still bearing the McLemore surname, participated in the Morrison yDNA study. He was predicted to be in the R1a haplogroup, common in many parts of Eurasia and Scandanavia. However, he does not currently have any matches among the other 15 members with the McLemore surname in the study. It is possible that there were several founding McLemore lines, instead of just one as has been long assumed. Or another possibility could be that undisclosed adoptions have occurred through the generations of descendants of both James and/or Abraham.

  	McLemore, Andrew J(ackson) Smith, Sarah C(aroline) Nov 08, 1854 Bk 2 Page 223 Lundy, Phillip H., MG Marriage Book 2, Lowndes County Alabama Jan. 18, 1843 - Nov. 01, 1855 These marriages records were first compiled from "Lowndes Court House," by Mildred Brewer Russell and/or the Lowndes County Historical and Genealogical Society's newsletters over the years. I then went to the microfilm available through the LDS (Morman) Church Family History Library and compared to the original marriage books. What is here is what was in the marriage books. As with Mrs. Russell's book and the newsletter, there are bound to be mistakes. Check the original books on microfilm to make sure of the information. I would appreciate any corrections you find in the marriage books so I can make those corrections here. http://files.usgwarchives.net/al/lowndes/vitals/marriages/book2.txt
