John Dabney McLemore

Notes:

A 36 year old John D. McLemore, born in Tennessee, is located in the Southern Division of Carroll County, Mississippi at the time of the 1850 census. John appears to be living with his wife, Sarah, and four children: Daniel, Price, Jefferson and Adalaide. As several researchers show John Dabney McLemore as the father of Price Perkins McLemore (although the evidenced for this is not documented in their trees), it appears likely that this John D. McLemore is indeed John Dabney McLemore. Rev. William McLemore shows that he was actually born in North Carolina, and does not list a location of death. Several online trees show he died in Panola County, Mississippi, but no sources are cited for this.

It is further shown on the 1850 census that John is married to a 24 year old Sarah, born in North Carolina. She would have been too young to be the mother of the three boys in the household, but is likely the mother of John's one year old daughter, Adalaide.
He reported that he owned property worth $2,000.

In 1860, the same John D. McLemore appears to still be listed in Carroll County, but without a wife or children enumerated with him. His real property was reported to be worth $381,000 and personal property was reported at $400,000. This is a huge increase in value in a relatively short time period. He is shown as a Farmer/Merchant. It appears that the "personal property" was likely his inventory of slaves.

This appears likely based on the following:

CARROLL COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI
LARGEST SLAVEHOLDERS FROM 1860 SLAVE CENSUS SCHEDULES
and
SURNAME MATCHES FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS ON 1870 CENSUS
Transcribed by Tom Blake, October 2001

MCLEMORE, John D., 200 slaves, Dist. 4, page 289B (? no stamped number located)
MCLEMORE, John D., 89 slaves, Dist. 4, page 289
MCLEMORE, Jno. D., 79 slaves, Dist. 3, page 280
MCLEMORE, John D., by W. D. Warren overseer, 68 slaves, Dist. 2, page 259

FORMAT. This transcription lists the names of those largest slaveholders in the County, the number of slaves they held in the Police District where counted, the number of the Police District and the first census page on which they were listed. The page numbers used are the rubber stamped numbers in the upper right corner of every set of two pages, with the previous stamped number and a "B" being used to designate the pages without a stamped number. Following the holder list is a separate list of the surnames of the holders with information on numbers of African Americans on the 1870 census who were enumerated with the same surname. The term "County" is used to describe the main subdivisions of the State by which the census was enumerated.

SOURCES. The 1860 U.S. Census Slave Schedules for Carroll County, Mississippi (NARA microfilm series M653, Roll 596) reportedly includes a total of 13,808 slaves. This transcription includes 75 slaveholders who held 40 or more slaves in Carroll County, accounting for 5,073 slaves, or 36% of the County total. The rest of the slaves in the County were held by a total of 888 slaveholders, and those slaveholders have not been included here. Due to variable film quality, handwriting interpretation questions and inconsistent counting and page numbering methods used by the census enumerators, interested researchers should view the source film personally to verify or modify the information in this transcription for their own purposes. Census data for 1860 was obtained from the Historical United States Census Data Browser, which is a very detailed, searchable and highly recommended database that can found at . Census data on African Americans in the 1870 census was obtained using Heritage Quest's CD "African-Americans in the 1870 U.S. Federal Census", available through Heritage Quest at

After the Civil War, in 1865, he filed for a petition of pardon and amnesty from the federal government.

"To his Excellency Andrew Johnson, President of the United States of America. Comes petitioner respectfully represents that he is now and had been for many years resident of the State of Mississippi; that he has a wife and eight children, and is fifty two years of age [therefore born ca 1813]. That at the commencement of the War he was invested as a partner in a commission house in New Orleans and a a planter in said State of Mississippi & Yazoo and Tallahatchie bottoms, that he was then and is now as a member of the land commission house and as an individual largely indebted, Say altogehter about the amoutn of three hundred thousand dollars, an undertimable amount which is due to orphan children, that he has lost all of his slaves, and second, all of the debt due to him, and said commission house, are now nearly worthless, that the property he now owns is worth more than twenty thousand dollars but that is is wholy insufficient to pay his debts. He is advised that by reason of the value of his property he is not entitled to the benefit of your Excellency's proclamation of Amnesty, dated 29 May A. D. 1865, and that he must apply for an official pardon. He also states that he comes under none of the ??? except form the benefits of ??? proclamation Except the one in relation to persons owning $20,00 in taxable property. He states that he was opposed to the secession of the Southern States and opposed it until it was done. After the war commenced he consciously believed it to be duty to assist his state and section, which he did tot he best of his ability. He was elected a member of the Legislature of the State of Mississippi in Oct 1863 and held that office when the war ended. This was all the office of position he ever held during said war. He was not in the army, being exempt from his age. He now states that he desires the benefit of said Proclamation and amnesty. That he has takend the oath ??? prescribed which he hopes to ????, which he declares he will conciously observe. He also states that no proceedings have been commenced to condemn or subject any of his property under the confiscation laws of th U.S. he now asks that he be allowed a full & free pardon." John D. McLemore.

At the time of the 1870 census, a John D. McLemore is once again listed in Carroll County, with a 44 year old wife "Sally" born in North Carolina. This appears to be the same Sarah he was listed with 20 years earlier. Several younger children are listed in the household with them as well. Perhaps his wife and children were living apart from him in 1860, or maybe they were just inadvertantly left off of the census by the enumerator.

The following biography is courtesy of Melba Gene McLemore, from a book titled "Mississippi" by Dunbar Rowland, pages 202 and 203:

R. S. McLemore, M. D., who for a number of years past lived retired in the attractive little city of Greenwood, Leflore county, was long known as one of the able and successful physicians of his native State, while he was a representative of one of the honored pioneer families of Mississippi, which it was his to represent as a Confederate soldier during the Civil War. Dr. McLemore was born in Alabama Aug. 28, 1837, and is a son of Col. John and Elizabeth (Marr) McLemore, native respectively of Tennessee and Alabama and both of sterling Scottish ancestry. They passed the greater portion of their lives on Carroll county, Miss., where the father was an extensive planter and a citizen of wealth and influence. Dr. McLemore completed his more purely academic education in the University of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill, being there graduated as a member of the class of 1857, with a degree of Bachelor of Arts. At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in Company A, First Mississippi cavalry, and did yeoman service in the Confederate cause during the entire course of the war, while from 1862 to 1865 inclusive, he was principally engaged in scouting duty. After the close of the war he entered the New Orleans medical college, being there graduated, with a degree of Doctor of Medicine, in 1872, while he later took special post-graduate work in the city of Atlanta. The doctor first came to Greenwood as early as 47 and since the war made his home in the delta district of the Yazoo river with the exceptin of a period of about three years. He began the practice of his profession in Minter City, Leflore county, and floowed the work of the active physician and surgeon until 1900, when he retired, giving his supervision to his various capitalistic interests until his death with occurred on Nov. 26, 1905, while he had a most attractive residence property in the city of Greenwood. At one time he owned more than 2,000 actres of land in this section, but sold all except a fine plantation of 300 acres. The doctor traveled extensively and passed considerable time in Texas where he met with distinctive success in various business operations to which he turned his attention. Dr. McLemore was ever a staunch supporter of the cause of the Democratic party, but never sought the honors of public office of any description. In 1858 was solemnized the marriage of Dr. McLemore to Miss Marian E. Gibson, daughter of Col. I. S. and Mary (Geren) Gibson, who came to Mississippi from North Carolina, the father having been a prosperous planter and merchant. Dr. and Mrs. McLemore became the parents of six children, of whom only two are living.

(Transcribed by Melinda McLemore Strong, April 2010)

R. married Marion E. Gibson about 1859. Marion was born on 14 Apr 1837 in North Carolina; died on 10 Dec 1913; was buried in IOOF Cemetery, Greenwood, Leflore County, Mississippi. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Abram appears to have married first, on 6 Sep 1893 in Yalobusha County, Mississippi, Elizabeth Doyle. Could she have been a sister or otherwise related to his second wife, Inda Doyle?

He appears to have either died, or divorced, Inda prior to the 1930 census, when she and son Abraham Geren McLemore Jr can be found in the household of Allen Hobbs of Greenwood City, Mississippi. Inda was listed as Inda Hobbs and had a namesake daughter, five year old Inda Hobbs.

Obituary

Marion McLemore Moor

Nashville, TN

Marion McLemore Moor died on December 3, 2013 in Nashville, TN. He was the son of the late Marion Baird Moor and the late Robert James Moor. He was preceded in death by his two brothers, Robert Baird Moor and Charles Harold Moor of Greenwood.

He was born September 2, 1930 in Greenwood, MS. Marion was proud of his Scottish heritage and the Southern culture he enjoyed growing up in the Mississippi Delta on Fort Loring Plantation. He graduated from Greenwood High School in 1948 and received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Tulsa in 1952.

He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Janice Harder Moor, and three children, Robin Moor (Vicki), Jamie Granbery (Jimmy), and Geren Moor (Tracy), all of Nashville. He was predeceased by one grandchild, Marc Eric Moor, and is survived by grandchildren, Veronica Moor, Victoria Moor Gambrell (Jordan), Marion Granbery Floyd (Adam), Treanor Granbery, Addie Moor, and Jake Moor, and by great-grandson, Hunter Miller.

Marion was dedicated to his career as a petroleum geologist and was actively pursuing projects up to the time of his death. He loved his nickname "Rocky", referring to his chosen profession.
