Biography

http://www.virginians.com/redirect.htm?topics&306 If he could speak to us today, James Elmore might describe his life as follows.

" Since I was only about 3 when my father died in New Kent County in 1738, I and my brothers went to live with our grandmother on the other side of the Chickahominy River in Henrico County. John was about 10 years older so when he became an adult, he looked out for me and Athanasius. We went with him to Lunenburg County about 1746 — the same year Mr. James Tarpley brought his family from Richmond County to Brunswick County about 4 miles from the Lunenburg line. Around 1760 I married his daughter Sarah Tarpley and moved to near the Brunswick-Lunenburg county line myself. Sarah and I were in Charlotte County by 1782 with a household of 10 whites and no slaves. A neighbor was Benjamin Clements with a household of 12. The 1787 personal property tax list charged me with 3 horses, mares, colts or mules, and 14 cattle. We still owned no slaves. Sarah was dead by 11 July 1786 when I married Mr. Clement’s widow, Jane —. The personal property tax list for 1802 includes the caption, “Estate of James Elmore.”

Around 1760 I married his daughter Sarah Tarpley and moved to near the Brunswick-Lunenburg county line myself. Sarah and I were in Charlotte County by 1782 with a household of 10 whites and no slaves. A neighbor was Benjamin Clements with a household of 12. The 1787 personal property tax list charged me with 3 horses, mares, colts or mules, and 14 cattle. We still owned no slaves. Sarah was dead by 11 July 1786 when I married Mr. Clement’s widow, Jane —. The personal property tax list for 1802 includes the caption, “Estate of James Elmore.” Except eldest son, William, who went back to Brunswick County, our 8 children remained in Charlotte County." James owned 186 acres in Brunswick County that he and Sarah sold to James Newbill 6 January 1773. We do not know how James came to own the land. They evidently moved to Lunenburg County then for James reappears in the tithe lists of 1773, 1774, and 1775. The list of 1776 includes son William. James was apparently living on 50 acres that belonged to his brother Athanasius Elmore and bought the land from him 8 June 1778. The published tithe list in Lunenburg County for 1783 omits James for by then he and his family had move to Charlotte County. He perhaps had left Lunenburg County by 1780 when an indenture from James Elmore to William Pegram was certified.
