17202 I27542  McLemore  William F.  23 Dec 1855  Feb 1940  Paul Williams writes that:

Gibson Co., IN Death Record Bk H Pg 64 for William F. McLemore

1) Born 23 Dec 1850 KY
2) Spouses name Amanda
3) age 89 years 1 month 18 days
4) Fathers name: John
5) Mothers name: Sarah Jane Kirby -- this is puzzle, Paul speculates the
informant had his sisters name on her mind as, Sarah had died about 7
years earlier or just didn't know
6) Date of death: not shown -- another puzzle as what the death record does
show is buried 11 Feb 1940 !!

As Williams parents were married in March, 1855, it appears he was actually born nine months later, in December, 1855 vs. five years prior to their marriage.

17208 I38433  McLemore  William Homer  31 May 1915  26 Feb 2012  The Janke Tree at WorldConnect shows that he married Joy PERA on 25 Nov 1946, and that they had two children.

William H. "Mac" McLemore was born in Portland, OR on May 31, 1915. He attended St Joseph's Military Academy in Rio Vista and Burlingame High School. Mac entered the Navy in 1934 serving aboard the USS Augusta, part of the Asiatic Fleet and skippered by, then, Capt. Chester Nimitz. He maintained that being on the Augusta with Nimitz was the best education he ever had. He was discharged from the Navy in 1937, and reenlisted for WWII. Mac was then assigned to PT Base Ron 4 which moved to various islands in the South Pacific before he was assigned to PT 121. PT 121 was destroyed by friendly fire on March 27, 1944. Mac and his surviving shipmates evaded capture after the sinking by standing on the reef of a nearby enemy held island for 5 hours before being rescued. Mac was then re-stationed on PT Base Ron 4.

Mac had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to tell stories about his time in the Navy and about the various jobs he held over his lifetime. He worked for GTE Sylvania for over 20 years until his retirement in 1980.

He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Joy, his daughters Joy (Gary Rabins), Jeanne (Gary Roberts), grandchildren Ellen & David Roberts and cousin Camille Whitaker.

Services will be held Tuesday March 6, 2012 at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in San Jose at 11:00 AM.

17213 I27521  McLemore  William Kearney  Abt 1825  Abt 1889  Dr. Paul McLemore emailed, in March 2010, that "My fathers grandfather is William Kearney McLemore b 1825 d 1889 this is on the tombstone Holley Springs Cem, Van Zandt Co., Texas, He came from Shreveport, Louisiana to Van Zandt county"

The 1880 census shows that W. K. McLemore was born in North Carolina. John Simpson McLemore, buried near him in the Holly Springs Cemetery in Van Zandt county, instead reports his fathers place of birth as Mississippi in 1880 and as Tennessee in 1900. And J. M. McLemore, who is likely son James Madison McLemore, reports in 1880 that his father was born in Indian Territory, but later reports North Carolina.

Peggy Stewart Gore also shows William Kearney McLemore as being born in Tennessee.

17215 I27521  McLemore  William Kearney  Abt 1825  Abt 1889  (Medical):A direct male descendant, still bearing the McLemore surname, participated in the Morrison yDNA study. He was predicted to be in the I1 haplogroup, the most common group in 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.  STR06 
17216 I34415  McLemore  William Lee  23 Aug 1874  Yes, date unknown  He completed an application for a social security account on November 30, 1936 as a resident of Meridian, Mississippi. On this application, he listed his employer as the Mississippi Power Company of Meridian.

17218 I32550  McLemore  William N.  4 May 1873  17 Dec 1947  Middle name said to be Newton.

Assumed, but not proven, to be a brother of John C. McLemore, the husband of Medina Loue "Dena" Swindle? They lived near each other at the time of the 1900 census, and were listed as adjacent families as of the 1910 census. Both census enumerations were in Walker County, Alabama.

The transcribed info on his FindAGrave memorial page instead has his year of birth as 1873. A photo of his marker shows this same year of birth, and also has an inscription indiciating he was a member of the Church of Christ for 35 years.

The Alabama, Deaths and Burial Index, 1881-1974 shows that Willie N. McLemore, born ca 1873 and died 17 Dec 1947 in Carbon Hill, Fayette, Alabama was the son of Frank and Martha McLemore.

Could this couple be his parents?

Entertaining Fine for Beating Heat

Just because the country is having a heat wave is no reason for getting "het" up about it and sulking in a corner until the first norther comes. A very good remedy for forgetting weather problems is to open one's guest room door to out-of-town friends and relatives, who, if for nothing else but politeness sake, will praise the good points of the town and surrounding country.

The Rev. and Mrs. W. A. Pearman have had a houseful of guests for the past several weeks. Their daughter, Mrs. E. H. McLemore of West Point, N. Y., the former Peggy Pearman, and her 10-month-old son, William Pearman, have been here six weeks.

Captain McLemore's mother, Mrs. T. R. McLemore of Roxy, Miss., came down to see her grandson for the first time and was a guest of Pearmans. She left Friday following a week's visit. Miss Jane Bargamin of Lynchburg, Va., a niece of the Rev. and Mrs. Pearman, was their guest for two weeks. The Pearmans's on, Lieut. F K. Pearman who is on duty Lufkin, Texas, spent four days with his family this past week.

Tuesday, the Rev. and Mrs. Pearman and Mrs. McLemore and baby son will motor to Virginia. They will visit Mr. and Mrs. B. V. Pearman in Pulaski, Va., where Mr. and Mrs. R. W.

Our father, William "Bill" Pearman McLemore, passed away on January 14, 2025, at 87 years old. He lived, loved and served this world as an Episcopal priest, bringing light, love and acceptance to many people, communities and congregations during his ministry. He touched so many lives; it has been overwhelming to see the number of people who have reached out to express their condolences and how much they will miss him.


Bill was born in West Point, New York, on October 14, 1937, to Ephraim Hester McLemore and Edith Adeline Pearman McLemore. As the son of an army Colonel, the family moved around a lot during his childhood. He spoke fondly of his time spent in Japan as a young boy where they lived in a beautiful home with a Japanese family. He had a younger sister, Ann, and younger brother, Timmy.


Some of his best childhood memories were when they lived at Fort Monroe in Virginia during his high school years. They lived in a two-story brick house which he loved, and it was there that he met one of his best friends, Michael Irvine, whose family also lived in nearby officers' quarters. Bill spoke often of many fun adventures they had together. In June of 1959, Mike would become his brother-in-law when he married Bill's sister Ann.


Bill's mother died when he was 14, and in 1952, his father remarried Betty Pfieffer. He gained a stepsister, Barbara, and stepbrother, Butch. In 1954, he gained a half-brother Joseph.


Bill joined the Army right out of high school in 1955. His three-year army career started in Korea where he was stationed for two years. In 1957, he was stationed in Missouri and worked as a Command Clerk. Bill was always serious about his religion. He was close to his maternal grandfather and had been interested in his grandfather's vocation as an Episcopal priest. In Missouri, he became the Episcopal chaplain's assistant and a licensed lay reader. He began conducting morning prayer services and even preaching sermons. He specifically loved the Episcopal church's rituals and liturgy. Having the opportunity to help others find God's love was his calling.


After his discharge, he went to Florida State University, where he met his first wife, Jacqueline Spinks. They married on December 14, 1963. Bill graduated from Virginia Theological seminary in May of 1965 with a Master's Degree in Divinity. He was ordained a deacon in June of that year and ordained a priest in April of 1966 at Christ Church in Cedar Key, Florida.


Bill served faithfully during his priesthood beginning at Christ Church in Cedar Key; briefly at Christ Church in Pensacola, Florida; at St. Paul's Church in Jesup, Georgia; at Holy Trinity in Auburn, Alabama; and started St. Stephen's church in Phenix City. Bill and Jackie met many life-long friends at these different places as they both worked to serve these churches and their people. Jackie passed away in 1996 from cancer while Bill was at St. Stephen's.


Throughout his ministry, Bill was also an avid cartoonist. His cartoons depicted hilarity from the life of a minister and the workings of the church. They were enjoyed in the bulletins of his various churches. In 2007 he published a book of his cartoons to benefit the Rainbow Village organization which helps homeless people in the Atlanta area.


On January 6, 2000, Bill married his second wife, the Rev. Lori Lowe. He retired from active ministry and began working as a supply priest for various churches. He supported Lori in her ministry at St. Mark's in LaGrange, Georgia; St. Ann's in Annapolis, Maryland; St. Augustine's in Wilmette, Illinois; St. Paul's in McHenry, Illinois; and, lastly, Grace Church in Sterling, Illinois.


During his time in McHenry, Bill was a long-term supply priest to Holy Communion in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. During and after his time there, he sent a Daily Devotion email, which was sent to many Holy Communion members, as well as to other friends from his many years of ministry. In the days Bill spent in the hospital, his chief concern was always to make sure his Daily Devotion emails were sent out.


In 1969, in Jesup, Georgia, Bill joined the local Rotary Club. He was a member of the Rotary Club in every town where he lived from then until now, which is 56 years! Rotary was very important to him. Most recently, he was a member and secretary for the Rotary Club of Tucker.


Bill is survived by his sister Barbara and brothers Butch and Joseph. He is survived by his children Mary Kathryn (Gary), Billy (Natalie), and Christopher (Donna), his stepchildren Melissa (Stan), David (Brittany), and Justin (Catherine), as well as eleven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his dear sweetheart, Claiborne.


Bill is predeceased by his first wife, Jacqueline Spinks, his second wife, the Rev. Lori Lowe, his mother and father, Edith and Ephraim, sister Ann, brother-in-law Mike, brother Timmy, and sister-in-law Anne.


It is a blessing that right up until his recent passing, Bill was enjoying himself living on his own in his house in Tucker, Georgia. As a passionate historian, he worked on clergy biographies for the Diocese of Atlanta, a project he invented on his own, but enlisted many others to help him gather information and photos. He was a power for good while in his earthly life, and heaven has a new angel.

17225 I25471  McLemore  William Robert  Abt 1852  Abt 1910  From the 'Humboldt Courrier': "Milan, TN., Jan. 30--Robert McLemore, aged about 68 years, died yesterday of pneumonia at the home of S. H. Hughes near here. He was a Confederate soldier. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Thomas Manning of Lavinia & Mrs. Fry of Cedar Grove,TN." (Courtesy of Mark Freeman's Website McLEMORE FAMILY OF SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~markfreeman/mclemore.html)


Mark Freeman has him born ca 1842, however, this contradicts both the 1850 and 1860 census. It appears he was born in 1852. He must have been very young when entered the Civil War, perhaps in the last days of that war.

17233 I25558  McLemore  William Sugars  1 Feb 1830  7 Aug 1908  The biography below is courtesy of Mark Freeman. It includes excerpts from a Biographical sketch in Goodspeed's Tennessee History, Williamson County, pages 996 and 997.

"At seventeen years of age he entered Transylvania University at Lexington, Ky., and in 1849 he entered Lebanon Law School, where he graduated in 1851. In the same year he began to practice in Franklin, and in 1856 was elected county court clerk, and held this office until 1860, when he declined re-election and resumed the practice of law. In 1861 he enlisted in Company F, Fourth Tennessee Cavalry . . . " Transylvania University records show William S. McLemore in the 1847-1848 academic index as a member of the Adelphi Society (a literary society). William S. McLemore, Esq. is listed as a candidate for Attorney General for the district composed of Williamson, Davidson, and Sumner counties.

Editor of the Western Weekly Review newspaper in Franklin in 1861. From the Williamson County Circuit Court Minute Books Vol. 15: Monday 15, July 1861 court met according to adjourment. Present the Hon. Nathaniel Baxter, Judge. The Attorney Gen. of this Judicial District being absent, the court appoints William S. McLemore, Attorney General pro tem who appears in court and accepts of said appointment and having taken an oath to support the Constitution of the Confederate States of America and the Constitution of Tennessee and the oath of an Attorney General entered on the duties of his appointment.

A detailed account of Company F is provided in "The Williamson County Cavalry" by Michael Cotten, 1994. According to Thenie's diary he had 3 horses shot from under him during the war. One was at Thompson Station when he was shot through the canteen. John Rucker has the canteen with the bullet entry and exit holes. William S. McLemore was elected 1st Lieutenant of the Williamson County Cavalry shortly after the formation of the unit at Carnton, near Franklin, on 28 Sep 1861. He eventually commanded the 4th Tennessee Cavalry, and ended the war in command of a brigade. The 4th Tennessee fought under Forrest, and in all the major engagements of the Army of Tennessee. W.S. was in temporary command of the regiment as a Captain during the capture of Streight's raiders in Apr - May of 1863, COL Starnes being absent due to illness. He assumed command of the regiment 1 Jul 1863 after COL Starnes was killed at Tullahoma. Col. W.S. McLemore commanded a brigade of cavalry in President Davis's escort when they were captured at Washington Georgia 9 May 1865. The regimental colors of the 4th Tennessee were cut into pieces and divided among the couriers and staff of Colonel McLemore. "Dibrell's Old Flag was not Surrendered" by C.L. Nolen published in the "Confederate Veteran". Goodspeed's (con't): In 1865 he returned home and immediately began the practice of law, which he continued until 1972 when he was elected criminal judge. In 1878 he was elected circuit judge of the Ninth Judicial Circuit.

The autobiography of Albert Sydney McLemore, USMC as well as Thenie's diary give accounts of the election and as W.S. as judge. W.S. McLemore's gavel and certificate as judge are in the Rucker law office on the square in Murfreesboro. In the settlement of a suit by G.A. Pope against John Dabney McLemore et al John Dabney McLemore is represented by the firm of McLemore, Bond, and Wallace. They request a fee of $300 for the suit. It was submitted 22 Apr 1869. Burke Bond is the step son of Barbara McLemore, W.S. McLemore's sister.

From: Historical Sketch of Maury County Tennessee Read at the Centennial Celebration at Columbia July 4, 1876. Columbia: Excelsior Printing Office 1876. Reprinted 1967 Maury Co. p. 74 "In 1872, a Criminal Court was established in the counties of Williamson, Maury, Giles and Marshall, when the Hon. William S. McLemore, of Williamson was elected Judge of said court, which office he holds at this time."

From: Century Review of Maury County 1805-1905 page 16&17 "Circuit Court . . . Wm. S. McLemore, 72 (1872), for six years as special judge for criminal cases" Trustee of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Franklin. On the board of advisors for the Tennessee Female College in Franklin, 1885-1886. See Thenie's diary for a copy of his speech at her commencement. From a letter from Aunt Dorothy to Albert S. McLemore, a copy which Harriet Hough provided me: "I must tell you my favourite story about my grandfather: one day a Nashville girl came out to visit and he was delegated to drive her around and show her the countryside. He became fed up with her hoity-toity airs and citified questions and, when she pointed to some negro women hoeing cotton and asked what they were doing, he replied "oh, they're just hoers" - maybe the Scottish McLemores were lairds or thanes, but William Sugars was an earthy man!

The Whartons were intellectuals, which helps the family tree - and the Dabneys were aristocracy - but I don't know just where they fit in."

DENTAL SURGERY. Dr. W. Y. McLemore, having pursued the study and practice of his profession with Dr. Greenleaf, of Peoria, and thoroughly mastered all its details. Dr. McLemore came to Mason City in 1871 and opened rooms over Cargill & Swing's. He is prepared to undertake anything ever performed in dentistry. He has also been a student of anatomy and physiology, so that he can meet successfully many complicated cases beyond the reach of ordinary dentists. In proof of his skill he can refer to his former instructor, Dr. Greenleaf, and to the well-known surgeon, Dr. J. P. Walker, of Mason City. He is well provided with all the tools and machinery for preparing plates, making permanent and good fitting jobs. He is a young man and ambitious to stand high in his profession, and therefore, keeps himself informed by study of all the improvements in his art. The operation for cleft palate, by which speech is made perfect, has been frequently performed by Dr. McLemore, and probably by no other surgeon-dentitst in this part of the country.

William Y. McLemore, born in Dade County in 1852, son of Archibald and Mary (Brown) McLemore, is the senior member of the firm of McLemore Brothers, general merchants and dealers in farm implements, live stock, etc., established in July, 1884. The value of their sales annually is about $30,000 the value of the stock being about $8,000. The subject of this sketch, the fourth child of a family of six, three sons and three daughters, was raised on the farm, received a common school education, and remained at home till 1878, when he entered the mercantile business at Crossroads with G. W. Wilson, where they remained in business till the railroad was built, at which time they removed to Everton and built the first store building, which was in the woods. The firm continued till 1882, in September, when Mr. McLemore retired, and in 1884 established the present firm with his brothers, Robert F. and Jasper M. This firm is one of the strongest mercantile firms in Dade County, They began with nothing, are thorough-going and live business men, and upright citizens. In 1881 William Y. married Serepta C., daughter of Calvin and Acenith Wheeler, formerly of East Tennessee, but early settlers of Dade County, where Mrs. McLemore was born, and where the father died. The mother died in Kansas. Mr. Wheeler was a merchant and manufacturer. Our subject has had three children, two of whom are living. In politics he is a Republican, voting for Hayes in 1876. He and wife are Presbyterians.

His death certificate, issued by the State of Missouri, lists his usual occupation as a Banker, and shows him to be the son of Archibald McLemore and Mary Brown of Tennessee. The informant was Clarence McLemore of Everton, MO. (Copy courtesy of Paul Williams).

17254 I21646  McLemore  Wright  Abt 1713  Between 1760 and 1766  Wright MACKLEMORE had 140 acres of land patented to him on the south side of Poplar Swamp in Isle of Wight County (the southwestern part, later Southampton County), Virginia on August 1, 1734 (Patent Book 15, pg. 242). Since Wright was not among the known sons of James and Fortune, and therefore must have been one of, if not THE, oldest grandson. Hence his father had to have been James' eldest son, William, as no one else could have been married by 1713, the latest date possible for Wright's birth.

Wright is known to have had at least four sons (and possibly a fifth) and two daughters. After 1750, he and his sons Wright Jr., William, Moses, and Drewry (and according to Rudy H. Leverett, also a James), and two daughters Judeth, wife of William PITMAN, and ???, wife of James WIGGINS, are found in Edgecombe County on or near land devised to Wright's father William Sr. by James, the original immigrant. Several of these family members moved southward into Duplin (later Sampson) County, North Carolina, in the 1770's, where Wright's son William is credited with founding a large family line. (James L. McLemore, III, p 51).

Briar Branch Baptist Church is the third oldest Baptist Church in Bladen County. The church had its beginning as a mission of the Beaver Dam Baptist Church of Sampson County [ed: Cumberland County] which some years ago was in Bladen County. According to the records of the Beaver Dam Baptist Church that church began holding conferences at Briar Branch on Saturday before the fourth Lords Day in October of 1828. This was some four years before White Lake Baptist Church was constituted as the Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church and some six years before Hickory Grove Baptist Church was constituted. But Briar Branch continued to be a mission of Beaverdam Church until 1843, and was not duly constituted.

In a conference at Briar Branch on Saturday before the fourth Lord's Day in October of 1843, Beaver Dam Baptist Church agreed to dismiss the following members to constitute the church at Briar Branch: Amos Cain, Daniel L. Smith, Daniel Smith, Daniel Register, George W. Downing, Thomas Sessoms, William D. Smith, Baseter Davis, Edward Davis, Beaman West, Sarah A. Smith, Rhoda Gardner, Mary A.

17255 I21656  McLemore  Wright  Aft 1730  Yes, date unknown  In a letter dated October 29, 1986, written by James L. McLemore, III to Rudy Leverett, it is noted that by deed dated December 30, 1809, and recorded in July, 1811, in Southampton Deed Book 12, page 354, Joel WESTBROOK and his first wife Rebecca [Nicholson] conveyed to her kinsman John NICHOLSON 43 3/4 acres, being 1/4 of a tract of 175 acres, "Beginning at a maple by the side of poplar swamp a corner tree of WRIGHT McLEMORE's thence by said McLemore's line to a red oak, thence N. East course to lightwood post in Adam IVEY's thence along said IVEY's to a maple by the side of the northwest prong of the Mery? branch, thence down the various courses of said branch (to) poplar swamp, thence down the said Swamp to the beginning."

IT IS NOT KNOWN, however, which of the several contemporaneous Wright McLemore's this deed description relates to. James McLemore also notes that it is not unusual for an old description to be copied and recopied into subsequent deeds without making any attempt to correct adjoining land owners after their death or after the sale to a new owner. However, he states that his experience with deeds of that era seems to indicate that the draftsmen of those conveyences tried to keep up with who was the current adjoining land owner. Hence he believes that a Wright McLemore owned land adjoining Joel Westbrook and Adam Ivey on Poplar Swamp in 1809.

This deed is ASSUMED to involve Wright McLemore, Jr, as Mark Freeman indicates that his father, Wright, died in 1766, prior to the execution of the above referenced deed

Is this the Wright (unmarried) who was listed in the Salisbury District of Surry County, NC at the time of the 1790 census? The listing was for 1 male, over 16.

Robert McLemore Butler states that a Wright McLemore married a Sarah RANSOME on 17 May 1795 in Sampson County, North Carolina. It is not known with certainty which of the several Wright McLemore's that were contempories was the groom. If this is his marriage record, he would have been in his 60's. However this marriage is also listed, on Ancestry.com as "McLemore, Wright & Sarah Ransome, 16 May 1795, George HUDSPETH, bondsman. The book MARRIAGES SURRY COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA 1779-1868 is the source of this information. The marriage therefore appears to be for another Wright McLemore, and not the Wright of Sampson County.

17258 I21771  McLemore  Wright  Aft 1745  Between 1780 and 1787  In Rudy Leverett's files at the McCain Library and Archives at the University of Southern Mississippi, there is a photocopy of a "Indented Certificate" between the Treasury Office in Charleston, South Carolina, and the Estate of a Wright McLemore. Wright's Estate was entitled to the sum of Four Shillings and four pence on demand, which represents one Year's Interest on the Principal Sum of Three pounds two Shillings and ten pence, and the like Interest annually, with the principal sum to be paid on the twenth sixth of January 1788. This certificate was dated January 26, 1786. Wright's widow, Mary McLemore signed this indenture based on the service of her Late Husband, Wright McLemore on the 13th of January 1787. It appears that Wright McLemore served 17 days as a private in 1779, and additional 44 days in the Militia in 1779, as certified by Capt Garvin, and 56 days as a private in the Militia in 1780.

It is ASSUMED this record relates to the Wright McLemore was was the son of Ricard McLemore and Agnes Frisby, based on both his age (30 or younger) and location (South Carolina). This is not known for certain, and the record may relate to one of the several Wright McLemore's that lived in the area of the Virginia and Carolina's prior to the Revolutionary War. This Revolutionary Service is also referenced in "Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution" by Bobby Gilmer Moss (Genealogical Publishing Co, Inc 1983). Page 636 of this book shows "McLemore, Wright He served in the militia during 1779 and 1780. A.A. 5125; X552; X 1513.

Included in Dr. Leverett's files was a notecard for Wright, indicating his date of death was ca 1784. Dr. Leverett further noted that he received a letter from Norma Moon in August, 1978, in which she stated that "Richmond County, Ga., Wright married Mary Day (widow), Georgia Colonial Records state in deed dated Janayr 18, 1774 that children of Owen DAY were conveyed 1/2 of 500 acres...Mary Day signs Wrights Indents to John Chisolm. Wright died ca. 1784. He served 117 days in S.C. militia."

Handwritten on the notecard was a note that Wright and Amos were of the same generation, perhaps being an older brother or 1rst cousin. This Wright would be a first cousin, once removed, of Amos McLemore of Sampson County, NC.

Richard Gentry made claim for Revolutionary service under the 1832 law. He said he was born in Lunenburg Co.Va. Dec.27, 1755. He resided in Union District near the Tiger River in 1780 he served under Col.James Cotton in the battle of Cowpens and battle of King's Mountian. Richard married in 1793 Gestin daughter of Ayres Hedgepeth. Soldier died in Rockcastle Co.Ky. Feb.13, 1836

On the 7th day of April 1855 Jestin Gentry aged 80 years a resident of Rockcastle Co. she states that her husband Richard Gentry rec'd $48.39 per. She states she was married to Richard Gentry in Surry Co.N.C. by William Elliot and her name before she marrried was Gestin Hudspeth. She was making claim for bounty land on the 3rd day of March 1855.

In Nov.17, 1842 Wright McClemore a resident of Lincoln Co.Ky. made an affadavit for Jenstin. He states "I lived about 4 miles from Gestin in Surry Co.N.C. He states do to the excessive rain he did not attend the wedding of Richard Gentry and Jestin but his neighbors did" He further states that Richard Gentry and his wife visited his father many times. "They had children in North Carolina and more after moving to Kentucky." He further states that his brother Gilliam made affadavit for Richard Gentry to receive his pension.

Richard Gentry's pension application is #4332

Richard Gentry appeared in Rockcastle County court, KY, 12 Sep 1832, age 77 years as of next Dec. 27th [born 27 Dec 1755]. Testified that he had first volunteered for service in SC militia from Union District, SC, near the Tyger River [about 1780]... He gave his birthplace as Lunenburg Co. VA, and had lived three years in Lincoln Co. KY before moving to Rockcastle Co.

Gestin [Gentry] appeared in Rockcastle Co. court on 25 Nov 1839, age given as 70 years, to apply for widow benefits.

17260 I28643  McLemore  Wright  Abt 1800  Bef 1850  Melba Gene McLemore noted that in both the April 7, 1824 and July 5, 1826 issue of THE VILLAGE MESSENGER, published in Fayetteville, Lincoln County, Tennessee, a Wright M'LEMORE was listed among those for whom dead letters were being held at the Fayetteville Post Office. This makes him very likely a brother of Joel and Sterling McLemore, whose families were in Fayetteville, Tennessee during this same time frame. Joel and Sterling were sons of Sterling and Rebecca McLemore of Fayette County, Kentucky, originally from North Carolina.

It is possible, however, that Wright was instead a son of Wright McLemore and Sarah Ransome of North Carolina.

Melba Gene McLemore has the following Oral Family History from Coy McLemore, born 1940 and living in Sheridan, Arkansas in July, 2005:

"His Daddy (Eluas McLemore) spoke often of his grandfather, Wright McLemore. He said that Wright and a brother came to Arkansas together. Granddaddy Wright stayed in Arkansas, and the other brother left for Lousiana..." (very likely this was Keton Jones McLemore, born ca 1809 in Kentucky and living in Sabine Parish, Louisiana at the time of the 1850 census). Coy didn't recall were the McLemore's lived prior to Arkansas, but reported that the family was Scoth/Irish.

Dolores McLemore McKee reports that all three of Wright's sons died as a result of the Civil War, and that his sons all left children to be raised by their mothers and family members.

Y DNA Results, FTDNA Haplogroup:

R1b

A direct male descendant volunteered to have his DNA tested. The results can be found at www.ysearch.org, under the user ID #ag2C5. The FamilyTreeDNA kit number is 87115.

The descendant was a participant in the Morrison DNA study. His DNA was a high definition match to two other McLemore's (not previously proven to be related), as well as to a McElmurry from Kentucky. See the results for Group O at the following website:

The descendants kit was upgraded to Y-700 in 2024. His more detailed confirmed Y-DNA Haplogroup was R-BY82607.

At 67 markers he matched other kits on FTNDA, with the McLemore Surname, as follows:

Charles Weldon McLemore Sr and Jr
Timothy V McLemore
Jeremy John McLemore
Thomas Eugene McLemore
Stanley McLemore

Other surnames he matched were Voyles, Fugatt, Peerson, Mullins, OConnor and Walker.

At 700 markers he matched Charles Weldon McLemore Jr and John Fugatt. The other matches may not have tested more than 67 markers, and may or may not have still been close matches at 700.


http://www.geneticousins.com/morrison/

The McLemore's that he matched were (1) a descendant of Keton Jones McLemore, born in Kentucky and living in Sabine Parish, Louisiana in 1850 (they were one step removed at 25 markers); and (2) a descendant of John McLemore, born 1822 in North Carolina and living in Decatur County, Georgia in 1850 (they were two steps removed at 25 markers).
The different markers, in each case, were rapidly mutuating.

According to FamilytreeDNA in Houston, the probability that the two DNA donors share a common ancestor, is as follows:

In comparing 25 markers, the probability of sharing a common ancestor within the last...

4 generations is
27.54%
8 generations is

12 generations is

16 generations is

20 generations is

In addition to this above matches, the Wright McLemore descendant also matches to two proven descendants of Abraham Macklemore, the immigrant, and John McLemore, born 1762, the Revolutionary soldier who left descendants in Knox County, Tennessee; Dade County, Missouri; Illinois; Mississippi; and Alabama, and a McElmurry of Kentucky.

Each of these matches, including the McElmurry, can be found indexed in these files.

The members of R1b are believed to be the descendants of the first modern humans who entered Europe about 35,000-40,000 years ago. Those R1b forebearers were the people who painted the beautiful art in the caves in Spain and France. They were the contemporaries (and perhaps exterminators) of the European Neanderthals. R1b is the most common Y haplogroup in Europe - more than half of men of European descent belong to R1b. Fourteen of the 30 most common haplotypes in the YSTR.org database are typical of R1b.

SOME HISTORY OF BRIAR BRANCH BAPTIST CHURCH
BLADEN COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA

By, Rev. Nash A. Odom, Pastor of the First Baptist Church, Dublin, N, C. and President of the Bladen County Historical Society.

Briar Branch Baptist Church is the third oldest Baptist Church in Bladen County. The church had its beginning as a mission of the Beaver Dam Baptist Church of Sampson County [editor: Cumberland County] which some years ago was in Bladen County. According to the records of the Beaver Dam Baptist Church that church began holding conferences at Briar Branch on Saturday before the fourth Lords Day in October of 1828. This was some four years before White Lake Baptist Church was constituted as the Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church and some six years before Hickory Grove Baptist Church was constituted. But Briar Branch continued to be a mission of Beaverdam Church until 1843, and was not duly constituted.

In a conference at Briar Branch on Saturday before the fourth Lord's Day in October of 1843, Beaver Dam Baptist Church agreed to dismiss the following members to constitute the church at Briar Branch:

Amos Cain, Daniel L. Smith, Daniel Smith, Daniel Register, George W. Downing, Thomas Sessoms, William D. Smith, Baseter Davis, Edward Davis, Beaman West, Sarah A. Smith, Rhoda Gardner, Mary A. Downing, Elizabeth Smith, Aley Bryant, Margaret Sessoms, Anna M. Tatum,Elsa McLEMORE, May J. Tatum, Mary J. Reeves, Mary Register, John Smith, Sr., Evin Downing, William Harvey, John H. Tatum, William J. Cowan, Daniel R. Cain, John D. Smith, Owen J. Gardner, Nathan H. Jones, Meredith Cain, Helen Davis, Francis Sessoms, Ann J. Harvey, Mary Smith, Susan Smith, Martha Smith, Elizabeth A. Downing, Jane Weeks, Susan Smith, Sr., Mary Sessoms, Molsey Davis, James Smith, Theophlus Tatum, Wright McLEMORE, John Downing, James S. Beard, John Cain, Milton J. Smith, Thomas B. Cowan, William C, West, John Edge, Elizabeth Cain, Mary Downing, Pen[n]y Hayes, Sarah Suggs, Claressa Beard, Susan Smith, Zillpha Smith, Mary A. Cain, Francis Sessoms, Martha West.

On September 15, 1848, George W. Downing gave land to Briar Branch Church, John Cain and Theopheles Tatum were the deacons and trustees that handled the transaction. The deed states that it was a certain tract or parcel of land lying on the Westside of Turnbull Creek containing one acre more or less. The witnesses were J, J. Jones and D. R. Cain. This deed is found in the Register of Deeds Office, Bladen County, Book 44, Page 5.

Briar Branch Church became a member of the old Cape Fear Baptist Association soon after her organization. The minutes of the Cape Fear Association for 1851 records Briar Branch as a member of that body with 9 baptisms that year and 139 members. It was the second largest member of the Association in Bladen County that year, second only to Beaverdam Church which was the mother church of Briar Branch. Delegates to the 1851 Association were T. Tatum, J. Downing, and D. R. Cain. Their report sent in says, "This church has had a revival. No Pastor."

The minutes of the Cape Fear Association for 1854 that D. C. Shaw, John H. Tatum, and D. R. Cain were the delegates and the churches report read, " Complain of difficulties, which have produced coldness and discord, Elder James Cashwell is Pastor." The minutes of the Fifty-third Session of the Cape Fear Association for 1857 reports the following delegates, "Theophilus Tatum, W, T. Jessup, J. H. Tatum"' and the church had 141 members. Their report concerning the state of the church reads, "Has a flourishing Bible Society, and thinks that appearance betoken good. Elder Wm. Ayers is Pastor."

The minutes of the Cape Fear Association for 1857 mentions that the Briar Branch Bible Society contributed $6.70 to the Association and $5.00 to the Domestic Mission Board. The Minutes for 1858 gives the following report; " Communicates nothing interesting, Elder William Ayers is supply." Delegates for 1858 were Jonathan Jones, Nathan Johnson and W. F. Jessup and there were 155 members. The minutes of the Cape Fear Association for 1859 records the following delegates: G. W. Downing, E. J. Cain, J. H. Tatum, and W. K. Register and there were 122 members. The report for that year read, " Has nothing interesting. Has dismissed a considerable number to join other churches. Elder William Ayres is Supply." Two new churches being constituted that year that perhaps drew members from Briar Branch were Paradise Baptist Church and White Oak Baptist Church. Surely White Oak Church took some of the members.

The trend for Briar Branch continues to go downward. The minutes for 1861 lists the following delegates: T. Tatum, J. H. Tatum, and A. Smith. There were 106 members, and their report reads, "Difficulties, has no pastor and no additions of members."

One interesting question was presented to the Cape Fear Association for 1862, The question presented on Oct. 25th of that year for the association to consider was " Is it right for a member of the church to distill his own fruit and that of his neighbors, and use the spirits as he pleases or sell it to good citizens?" The answer given was; "The quere from Briar Branch Church was again taken up and answered as follows to-wit: Such are the circumstances with which we are now surrounded, that any other than that of medicinal and mechanical purposes savors the spirit of extortion that characterizes the present course of the wicked world, and that any toleration beyond that will tend to evil."

Briar Branch, made an application for a letter of dismission to join the Cedar Creek Association and the application was granted that same year. They were represented at this last association by T. Davis, J. H. Tatum, and G. W, Downing and there were 105 members. Their report for 1862 read: "No special change. Has been without a Pastor the past year. Brother Joab Smith has labored with them."

The minutes of the Cedar Creek Association for 1863 records that Briar Branch was a member of that Association and was represented by W. T. Jessup, J. R. Tatum, and W. Downing. The church grew to 128 members that year. Their report reads, " This church has enjoyed a revival season, Christians revived, sinners awakened and mourners converted. Elder Joab Smith is their Pastor." The minutes of the Cedar Creek Association of 1864 reports, " Nothing special. F. Prevail, Pastor." Delegates were J. H. Tatum, E. J. Cain and D. S. Tatum. The minutes of the Cedar Creek for 1867 mentions, " Have enjoyed some precious meetings. Twenty added by baptism, Elder Martin is Pastor." Delegates were Wm. Suggs, W. H. Downing, and J. H. Tatum. There were 103 members.

The minutes of the session of the Cedar Creek for 1869 reveal the following resolution passed: "Resolved, that the next session of this body be held with the church at Briar Branch, Bladen County, N. C. commencing at half past 10 o'clock A, M. on Thursday before third Sabbath in October, 1870. Elder A. B. Alderman, to preach the Introductory Sermon; Elder E. D. Johnson, Alternate." Pastor for 1869 was W. S. Melvin, Clerk was W. T. Jessup. The following interesting item is found in the minutes for 1869: "A young lady, a member of one of the churches, (who died in Florida) having on her death bed, given her breast pin to be sold for Foreign Missions, the Association buys the same at five dollars and presents the pin to her youngest sister." Included among those who contributed to buying the pin from Briar Branch were A.S. Smith, $ .25; J.S. Beard, $ .25; Elder J. Smith, $ .25; and V. Downing, $ .50.

The minutes of the Cedar Creek Association for 1872 records that W. S. Melvin was the pastor and clerk W. T. Jessup. Briar Branch Church continued as a member of the Cedar Creek Association until 1892. The minutes for 1891 record the following delegates: " M. Johnson, H. W. Cain, and T. L. Jones." There were 103 members. Eleven of the twenty-six churches in the Cedar Creek Association that year were located in Bladen County. In 1891, H. W. Cain was Superintendent of the Sunday School which had 22 enrolled, The pastor was D. S. Bullard and the clerk was D. C. Shaw.

The last year that Briar Branch was a member of the Cedar Creek Association was 1892. Her delegates that year to the association that met at White Oak Church were D. S. Bullard, J. J. Bullard, and H. Smith. The church had 85 members, Elder C. E. Beard was the Pastor and D. C. Shaw was the clerk. Letters for granted the following churches that year from Cedar Creek Association to join the Bladen Baptist Association: Briar Branch, Beard's Chapel, Cypress Creek, Centre Road, Kate's Chapel, Smith's Chapel, Suggs Grove, White Oak, and White Lake.

We know very little about the first church house that Briar Branch occupied. It was probably a one-room log or frame wooden building which was the style or nature of Baptist buildings of that day. There was a building standing in 1848 for the church building is mentioned in the deed filed. This building was used until a new one was built in 1898. The first house of worship was lost by fire. The present house of worship was the one built in 1898. The Bladen Associational minutes for 1927 states that this building was valued at $1,500. The minutes of Briar Branch Church for November 2, 1947, relates that, " a vote was cast to put Sunday School rooms at the back of the church. Mrs. Lula Long gave timber to be cut for framing."

Briar Branch licensed Richard McDuffie to preach the gospel in June of 1949. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. R. Glenn McDuffie of Briar Branch Church and is currently the pastor of the Carolina Beach Baptist Church.

He was ordained at a special service held on the fourth Sunday in February of 1952 at Briar Branch. Among those having served as pastors have been: J. H. Dobson, M. L. Mintz, D. L. Johnson, A. J. Freeman, Alex Peterson, C. B. Horne, W. A. Coleman, A. D. Carter, A.C. Herring, A. H. Dove, T. R. Spell, L. L. Todd, Ervin Jerrell, E. C. Reeves, George Denton, E. L. Anderson. The present pastor is Rev. L. L. Barnes. He has served for 19 years. The church has just completed a remodeling program under Rev. Barnes and added a porch and steeple. The church has used Jones Lake and Salters Lake for many years as places for baptismal Services.

Among the early members was William J. Cowan who was a very prominent citizen of Bladen County. He was the son of John Cowan who married Elizabeth Salter. Elizabeth was the daughter of William Salter and Sarah Lloyd Salter Bladen County's famous heroine in the Battle of Elizabethtown. The Cowans lived at one time in that section of the county near the Salters. General W. J. Cowan 'was a member of the House of Commons in North Carolina in 1817, 1818, and 1821. His wife, Charlotte is buried in the Cowan-Lesesne Cemetery near Dublin, also his adopted son whose monument reads thus: "William Cowan, Son of James W. and Lucy Ann Lesesne and adopted son of W. J. Cowan. Born July 11, 1832 - Died September 2, 1850." His wife's monument reads, " Charlotte, Wife of Gen. W. J. Cowan, Died Aug. 6, 1846, Aged 62 years." There is a Cowan's Branch that flows nearby. General William J. Cowan will is recorded in Bladen County and was dated Apr 14, 1855, and his will states that he was formerly a resident of Bladen County but was residing in 1855 in Washington, D. C. He was buried Washington, D. C. His sister was a prominent member the old Welsh Neck Baptist Church in South Carolina and married General Evander McIver.

Was Wright the father of Maggie McLemore, born in Jan 1891 in Arkansas? Maggie was living with her grandmother, Elvira McLemore Newman in Lincoln County, Arkansas at the time of the 1900 census.

Melba Gene indicates that sometime before, Wright had married to his third wife, Willie Bailey, and they were living in Owen, Lincoln County, Arkansas at the time of the 1900 census. Living with them was 6 year old James Harmon, born March 1894, a step son to Wright, born to Willie during her first marriage. They were also the parents of 10 month old Sterling McLemore.

In 1910, Willie Bailey Harmon McLemore was remarried to Eli BENNINGFILED. They were living in Niven Twp, Jefferson County, Arkansas with their blended family.

17270 I24459  McLemore  Wright K.  Abt Jan 1835  24 Dec 1883  A teamster, he later owned a butcher shop in McDade, Texas.

Hung, along with his brother Thad, by vigilantes in McDade, Texas on Christmas Eve, 1883. Further details can be found in "I'LL DIE BEFORE I'LL RUN: The Story of the Great Feuds of Texas" by C.L. Sonnichsen (University of Nebraska Press, c. 1951, 1961), (pp. 178-187).

The following letter was written by Wright's widow some two weeks after the tragedy:

The Late Tragedies at McDade From the News

MCDADE. January 14, 1881 (sic)-Now while the horrible tragedy that was enacted at this place on Christmas eve and day is going the rounds of the press, just as correspondents see fit to clothe, and as reporters get it, I, a widow of one of the victims, claim a hearing. Three weeks have passed since the McLemore and Batey families received their double blow. Life with its duties and cares are before us, while behind us lies the shadow of our murdered dead and heart wounds that time can never heal.

The Bastrop Advertisor, containing an account of the triple lynching in Texas, as taken from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, is before me; also the reported interview with F. H. McLemore. It seems that it was proved at the inquest that Thad McLemore was under arrest, charged with burglary; that Wright McLemore and Henry Pfeiffer were under a nominal bond for cattle-stealing when taken from the saloon. That Jack, Azberry and Haywood Batey, Charley Goodman, Burt Hasley and Robert Stevens came in town next day defient, trying to learn the fate of their friends; that all were old residents, and all were under bad repute except Jack Batey. Thad McLemore was under arrest through charges by S. E. Walker, as was ascertained afterward. I hope that Thad died in ignorance of the latter fact, for he thought Walker a friend.

As to Wright McLemore, my husband, being under a nominal bond for cattle-stealing, there is no truth in it. His accusers have not, nor can not, come forth! That all were old residents, and under bad repute, is another untruth. Wright McLemore had only been in the county six months, was almost an entire stranger. We had been living in McDade only about two and a half months. My husband was old and badly crippled with rheumatism, an object of pity to anyone who had a spark of that element. He felt that his life was nearly over, and came here to spend his remaining days near his brothers. The southern and north-western counties know W. K. McLemore; Bastrop did not.

Thad McLemore and his brother Felix were volunteers from here in the Confederate army; served their time, came back, married and settled down in this county, where they have lived ever since in good repute; and yet one of those brothers, while in custody, was taken by a mob from a town he had helped to build, at an early hour, and on an evening when such a thing would be more difficult to perform than at any other time, carried out and hanged, and McDade knew nothing of it until the next day.

And that next day! Oh, it is a deed worthy of being handed down to posterity with the Alamo!

As to the Batey crowd going in armed and defiant, that is also false. It is true they went in together. It is a custom of old Mrs. Batey to get all of her family together on Christmas day. They boys said they would ride into town to see what was going on; and come back for an early dinner. They were not drinking; none were armed except Haywood Batey and Charley Goodman; the latter never used his pistol, it being on his person all the time, and turned the ball that wounded him. Haywood Batey had only four charges in his, so that might account for the miraculous escape of Milton and Bishop, as there were from sixty to one hundred shots! I saw them as they rode into town, and a few minutes later Azberry Batey rode up to my door to see if the news he had heard was true. I think the very last rational words he ever spoke were to me. I saw him fifteen minutes later lying in the streets dead. I see from the Bastrop Advertisor that it is generally supposed that the lynching was the outgrowth of a vigilant committee organized in McDade after the shooting of Heffington, of Lee County, and that the McLemore brothers were suspected as being implicated. My husband did not know Heffington.

Thad McLemore left town before the train came down that Fitzpatrick, the accused, was on. We knew nothing of a man being shot until the following Monday. The shooting was done on Saturday night. In a special from McDade to The Galveston News, dated December 25, it was stated that Wright McLemore happened to be present when the others were taken out. Since them The News has come out with an editorial which should elect him for our next governor, if such a man could be spared from the press. Texas, the empire State of the Union, has a constitution that demands the right to say who shall and who shall not be put to death.

The Globe-Democrat reporter, in copying from notes made during his interview with Felix McLemore, was sadly out of time; but then he had been at the scene of carnage, and I suppose had caught the infection so it will have to be excused. Felix is well known in this county and wants it distinctly understood that he emphatically denies having once said, "I can prove this and so." He told the reporter from the beginning that he knew nothing about it only what his family and friends had told him; he was not home at the time, and only stayed a short time when he did go. He made no allusions as to his dead brother's families being dependent on him for a support. Everyone in that mob knew Thad McLemore was the father of six children, all under twelve years of age, and left without a maintenance. The part referred to where Thad had a conversation with Goodman and Fitzpatrick is all wrong. Felix has the letter now which my husband wrote him after the death of Heffington, containing the substance of what he related to the reporter. He is not staying from home through any fears of killing or being killed. He is a living flesh and blood man, with perfect organization and, it is presumable, he has the power of feeling. I can establish all and more than is contained in this article and earnestly request that you give it publication.

Mrs W. K. McLemore

Melba Gene McLemore writes "A three day search in Oct. 2000 of the Bastrop Co. Courthouse records, index books and court jackets produced no record of Wright ever being charged with cattle theft as reported in newspapers. Wright is buried along with his brother Thaddeus Koesko McLemore in unmarked graves in the Baker Hill Cemetery which is on private property in McDade Texas. His brother Thad was married to Texana BAKER and this small cemetery is a family plot with graves mostly belonging to Baker family members. The cemetery is not visible from any road and when I (Melba) visited Baker Hill I spent several hours finding some local who knew where to find this family cemetery & was told at the time of my visit (2001) that some of hte local women had taken it upon themselves to clean up the cemetery and it was fenced in with a sign on its gate. We drove miles thru pasture land on private property to find this old cemetery. Local resident Buddy Lewis graciously drove me thru pastures on land of Kastner's to the Cemetery."

17272 I21664  McLemore  Young  Abt 1726  Bef 9 Apr 1804  Young followed his brother Atkins westward. After buying 100 acres from Atkins in 1753, then selling 100 acres to Edward Robertson with Atkins in 1755, Young also began operations in Granville County, buying 275 acres there on both sides of Shocco Creek by deed witnessed by his brother.

Sept. 18, 1759 - Littlebury Swinney also White, aged 9 yrs May 15, 1759, bound to Young McLemore "to learn the business of a Planter and to have a years Schooling", said McLemore "at the time of his freedom" agrees to give him "a young Horse Bridle & Saddle & decert suit of Cloaths." (Source: Bastardy Bonds from Granville County, N.C., 1749-1780, as transcribed at:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncgranvi/other/bas-bond.htm)

Young remained for a time, however, in Northampton County, serving in 1760 in that county's militia as a private in the cavalry troop of Capt. Henry Dawson. He was granted, also in 1760, 640 acres on both sides of Flat Creek in Granville County, and from then on made his home there. He picked up an additional 543 acres at the head of Shocco Creek, near his earlier tract, in February 1762.

Within three months, in May 1762, Young sold 200 acres on the north side of Shocco Creek, adjoining Ward and Macon. He was joined in this deed by his wife, Lucy. Thereafter, his lands seem to share a jurisdictional history similiar to Atkins', being found first in Granville County (where Young witnessed two deeds in 1763), then in Bute County (where he also witnessed a deed in 1766), then in Warren County (where he picked up four extra acres on the South Side of Sandy Creek in 1779), and finally in Franklin County where both he and his son Young Jr. were heads of household in the first U.S. Census of 1790.

On the last day of 1803, Young McLemore signed his will, and it was probated in Williamson County in April 1804. His principal legatees were his daughter Sukey GRAY and her children, though he mentioned another granddaughter as well. He is also known to have had at least two sons, Young Jr. and Nathaniel. His wife, Lucy died shortly before he did in 1803.

A photo of his tombstone is on findagrave.com. It is inscribed Young McLemore, Died Feb. 20, 1841 aged 57 years, 9 months and 11 days. Based on the date of death inscribed on his tombstone, plus the his age at death, he would have actually been born May 9, 1783.

There is also some unsourced biographical detail on the findagrave website, as follows:

Young married Nancy Ann Plumley abt 1811 in Knox Co., TN.
They had 5 (sic) children; John, Priscilla, William, Abigail (Archibald???) and Mary Ellen.

Young was a farmer. In Sept of 1835 he purchased 40 acres of land in Sangamon Co., IL 17N-5W section 27. In Sept 1839 he purchased an additional 40 acres 17N-5W section 29.
