Melba Gene McLemore found a book titled "Proceedings of the Fifty-Ninth Annual Sessio of the Alabama Baptist Association," which recorded the activities of the delegates from the churches that met at the church at Pine Level, Montgomery county, at 11 o'clock on Friday, October 11, 1878. Eld. McQueen presented the report of the Committee on Documents, and included in this report was that "Elim church (Montgomery county) reports the death of Deacon Moses McLemore." (page 7). A few pages later, in a report on obituaries "Since the last session of this body, four of the faithful workers in the Master's cause-Deacons R. H. Lee, Thomas W. Dunklin, F. L. Ellis, and Moses McLemore-have left our ranks for a purer clime. They have finished the work assigned them to do on the earth, and their light spirits have taken "homeward flight" to the land of rest. These all died in the faith, as they had lived, and haivng "used the office of Deason well," have "purchased to themselves a "good degree and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus." "Blessed are the deat that die in the Lord, yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors."

Resolved, first, that we bow in humble submission to this dispensation of God's providence...

Resolved, second, that we tender our heartfelt sympathies to the families of our lamented brethren, praying that the smiles of Heavan may settle on them.

Respectfully submitted,
B. A. Jackson, Chm'n

William Ware, son of Moses and Martha C. McLemore
Died - 8 September 1841; Aged 5 years, 3 months, 5 days

Notes:

James Strain notes that: In the petition to sell the land of Jesse Edwards by his son and administrator, William Edwards, dated 8th Dec, 1836, his heirs are listed. It includes the following statement:

"And the children of Martha McLemore, deceased, wife of Moses McLemore, towit: Rebecca Williams wife of Pinckney Williams, who is a minor, and Martha McLemore, a minor under 14 years of age."

Apparently, Rebecca was married before reaching the age of 21, so still considered a minor, but her sister, Martha, was under 14 on this date.

It seems either his mother's birthdate, or his birth and death dates, (listed above) must be in error as it is unlikely she was only 11 when she gave birth.

Another transcription of these records, below, show his year of death as 1841, a more likely year
