Transcribed by Robert McLemore Butler

Deed Book 36, page 368 lists a the inventory of the homestead of Raiford McLemore. It was valued at $61, and drawn up by Wilson Lockamy, J.P. A subsequent listing of the homestaed can be found in Deed Book 36, page 414.The value at this alternate reporting date amounts to $344.35. It is not clear for what reason these inventories were drawn up.

Ginger Riegel is a descendant of Raiford McLemore through his daughter, Louann. She shows that Raiford is the son of Archibald McLemore. However, she seems to assume, in error, that Raiford was the son of the Archibald McLemore who married Sarah Plumley and died in Monroe County, Tennessee. This could not be correct, as that Archibald McLemore is only a few years older than Raiford.

Is the five year old girl a daughter? Why no wife?

Why no listing for Amos or Raiford, two males under the age of 5, who are said to be his sons?

1 female between 20-30 <----Raiford's (second?) wife?

Again, Amos (born ca 1813) and Raiford (born ca 1815) are not enumerated with this family. IT HAS THEREFORE BEEN ASSUMED, BUT NOT PROVEN, that the older Amos and Raiford were is actually the sons of one of Raifords' brothers.

Hezikiah McLemore 30 M Laborer North Carolina Married within the year? Why isn't his wife listed?

It would seem logical that the Hezikiah in household #487, listed immediately after the Raiford McLemore family, would be the son of Raiford. However, Margaret McLemore Lee, a descendant, instead shows that Raiford is the father of a younger Hezekiah McLemore. At the time of the 1850 census, the younger Hezekiah McLemore (age 23) was newly married and living in the Northern Division of Sampson County with his wife Caroline.

Ten years later, on the 1860 census, the son of the younger Hezekiah (David A. McLemore) was living with Raiford. Therefore, the Hezikiah McLemore listed next door to Raiford in 1850 appears to be either a nephew, or a duplicate listing for his son. The Northern Division census was completed a month after the Southern Division, so it is possible that Hezekiah was listed at both locations, and with his age incorrectly noted on the earlier census. The fact that Hezikiah's was listed as married within the year, but without a wife present, lends some credence to this possibility.

His 35 year old daughter Louanna lived in the household immediately preceding his, along with her husband Daniel Carter and 4 children. Daughter Edith "Eady", lived a few households away as well, with her husband Samuel Simmons (#602-584).

Family/Spouse: Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Not sure if she was a daughter, or second wife, to Raiford. Not listed in the 1864 Division of Lands of Raiford McLemore, unless she was also called Susannah, or she may have died prior to 1864.

Notes:

Ginger Riegel states that Louanna was also called "Lucy" and "Louie." She also indicates that Louanna: "Received $28 from her father after he passed away, and that she was listed in Raiford's will as "The Wife of Daniel Carter." At the time of the 1860 census, Louanna was living with her husband Daniel Carter in the household immediately preceding that of Raiford McLemore.

Family/Spouse: Daniel E. Carter. Daniel was born in Jan 1825 in Sampson County, North Carolina; died after 1900; was buried in Hall Family Cemetery, Autryville, Sampson County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

FindAGrave shows him as a son of Tobias McLemore.

At the time of the 1850 Sampson County Census, there appear to be two (2) Hezekiah McLemore's that are enumerated. On the 1850 Sampson County census, Northern Division, dated October 18, 1850, a 23 year-old Hezekiah McLemore was listed, newly married to 23 year old Caroline McLemore. These are the ancestors of Margaret McLemore Lee of Johnston County, North Carolina, who has extensively researched these families. She shows that Hezekiah was the son of Raiford McLemore. Approximately one month earlier, on September 15, 1850, in the Southern District of Sampson County, there is a listing for a 30 year-old Hezekiah McLemore. He was living alone in household 487, but the census indicated that he was newly married within the year, but no wife is listed with him. The listing immediately preceding his is that of Raiford McLemore--father of the 23 year old Hezekiah in the Northern District. As these Northern and Southern District were enumerated more that a month apart, it possible that Hezekiah was simply double counted, with his age being listed incorrectly on the Southern District census. That he was shown as newly married on both census reports adds some credence to this possibility.

At the time of the 1860 census, in the Northern District of Sampson County, Clinton P.O., a 32 year old Hezekiah McLemore can be found. Living with him is 31 year-old Matilda, and a 4 year-old girl named Celestial. Margaret Lee and Robert Butler both indicate that Hezekiah's first wife, Caroline, died shortly after giving birth to their son David, and that Hezekiah remarried Matilda Fowler. Her last name is cited as Campbell in Rev. William McLemore's Sampson index, but this appears to be in error. Hezekiah's son, David is not listed in the household. He is instead living with his grandfather, Raiford.

The 1870 census listing for 70 year-old Raiford McLemore in 1870 shows him still in the Southern Division of Sampson County, along with 37 year old Mary, 22 year old Rachel, 15 year old Amos, 8 year old David, and 7 year old Louanne. Although it is known that the 8 year old David was his grandson, Raiford's relationship to 7 year Louanne is not known. It is also not known of Mary, some thirty years younger than Raiford, was his daughter or a second wife.

Robert McLemore Butler shows Hezekiah M. McLemore as a Pvt 2nd Co A 2nd Artillery Regt. Born 1843 (sic) in Sampson County, Enlisted February 9, 1863 in Clinton. Robert has a copy of a letter he wrote to his father on March 22, 1863 from Fort Cashwell. Hezekiah was hospitalized December 21, 1864 at Wilmington with typhoid pneumonia. Furloughed December 27, 1864 for 60 days.

Margaret McLemore Lee indicated that Hezekiah McLemore died circa 1864 at Fort Fisher during the Civil War, from "illness." However, Robert McLemore Butler found the following death notice of Hezekiah "Died---in Sampson on 2 Jan 1865, at the residence of John FOWLER, Esq., Mr. Hezekiah McLEMORE, in the 39th year of age. (b. 8 Feb 1827..Buried at McLemore Cemetery, Roseboro, N.C. h/o Matilda J. (FOWLER) McLemore. It appears that Hezekiah died from pneumonia while on furlough.

The last major stronghold of the Confederacy, Fort Fisher was the site of two major battles and finally fell January 15, 1865. This earthen fort kept the Cape Fear River and the port of Wilmington open to blockade runners which delivered vital supplies to Confederate armies. Located here are the remains of the fort, a visitor-center with slide orientation and daily guided tours. http://webcom.com/rudd/things/fort/

Hezekiah married Matilda Jane Fowler between 1852 and 1855. Matilda was born on 17 Oct 1828 in North Carolina; died on 26 Oct 1909 in Sampson County, North Carolina; was buried in McLemore Family Cemetery, Roseboro, Sampson County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married a Lockamy. There were numerous "Loccamy" families in Sampson County at the time of the 1860 census, but I could not find one indexed with a Nancy. There was a household in McDaniels Township consisting of Nathan and Martha I. Loccamy, with Martha being around the same age (28) as Nancy would have been.

At the time of the 1870 North Carolina Census, Sampson County, McDaniels Twp the following family is listed:

LOCKEMY Nancy 38 F W Keeping House $200 North Carolina Can't read/write
" George 4 M W at home North Carolina
McLEMORE David 18 M W Works on Farm North Carolina <---Appears to be her nephew, the orphaned son of Hezekiah McLemore

Bonnie Seiler shows that she married Daniel Lockemy, and that they were the parents of Etom, Anna, Moses, Needom, Anglelia, Robert and George.

Immediately following her household were Thomas and Rachel (McLemore) Smith.

According to Robert McLemore Butler, there was a Nancy McLEMORE of Sampson County who married, on 8 Feb 1858, Mr.Henry HALL. Marriage performed by Rev. Miles P. OWEN. It appears this was a different Nancy McLemore.

Notes:

He was listed on the 1850 census in the household of Raiford McLemore, but not in the 1864 Division of the Lands of Raiford McLemore. This means he may have died prior to 1864, or may not have been an heir of Raiford.

Rachel married Thomas Smith on 10 Aug 1865 in Sampson County, North Carolina. Thomas was born about 1835 in North Carolina; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

At the time of the 1860 census, Edith and Samuel lived in close proximity to her father's family, as wall as to her sister and brother-in-law, Louanna and Daniel Carter.

It appears she died prior to 1868, because in census enumerations after 1860, her husband was listed with a woman named Millie as his wife. Futhermore, according to the 1900 census, he and Millie had been married for 32 years, which means they would have married circa 1868. Furthermore, Millie was shown as the mother of 9 children total, eight of them still living. However, a total of 12 children were listed with the family in the census reports from 1860 through 1900. Therefore, Edith was the mother of AT least the first three children, Rachel, Raiford and Amos. Incidentally, all three of them were named after her siblings. She was most likely also the mother of Caladonia, born in 1867. Millie would have been the mother of the remaining 8 children listed.

Edith married Samuel Simmons before 1860 in North Carolina. Samuel was born about 1838 in North Carolina; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He was listed on the 1850 and 1860 census in the household of Raiford McLemore, but not in the 1864 Division of the Lands of Raiford McLemore. Could he have died prior to that date?

Notes:

Is she a daughter of Raiford, or Granddaughter? Note the eight year gap in age between she and Amos. She was listed on the 1850 census in the household of Raiford McLemore, but not in the 1864 Division of the Lands of Raiford McLemore. Therefore, it is likely that she was either deceased or not an heir of Raiford, unless she was also called Susanna.

At the time of the 1870 census, she was living with Rachel (McLemore) and Thomas Smith, and listed as "Keeping House."

Notes:

The following information is courtesy of Ginger Riegel.

At the time of the 1900 cenus, James and Caroline were in North Carolina, Sampson County, Clinton town, James listed as a day laborer, with children Etta J (Aug 1883), Charles J (Oct 1886), and Mary L (Sept 1891). The children were all listed as at school, and Caroline and James were shown as having been married 23 years, birth with Caroline being shown as the mother of five children in total, three still living.

In 1910, the family was still in Sampson County, in South Clinton, and only daughters Joe Etta and Mary L were still at home.

In the 1920 Census, he is listed as living with wife Mandy G (Maudy C.?). He was listed as age 66, and she was listed as 65, could not read or write. Working as a home carpenter. Lived in Sampson Co., North Carolina, South Clinton Twshp.

Notes:

The 1910 census showed that he was a Physician in General Practice.

The information on the family of George and Nellie McLemore was excerpted by Robert McLemore Butler from SAMPSON COUNTY HERITAGE, Cumberland County Library, Fayetteville, NC.

According to the 1906 "Yackety Yack", the Fourth Year Medical Class included George Ammie McLemore of Parkersburg, N.C. "His jokes are like bad news." Age 27, height, 5 feet, 10 inches, weight 140. Wake Forest Medical College (1) and (2); University College of Medicine, Richmond, Va. (3); "Phi" Literary Society, W.F.C. In June, 1906, he was awarded an M.D. from the University of North Carolina. That same month he began his medical practice in Cleveland Township, Johnston County, North Carolina. As his patients were scattered all over the countryside, he used a horse and buggy for travel until 1914. He recalled his hardest work was during the flu epidemic of 1918 when he was called upon to keep going day and night. During his career he delivered more than 5000 babies and saved uncounted lives. He also wrote a cartoon and quip series "Aunt Roxie Says" for the Smithfield Hearld.

In 1953, Dr. McLemore married second Mrs. Geneva GODWIN ROWLAND.
