Notations on family of Capt. Alexis Lemmon Jr: “Born February 23, 1746 in Ireland, Alexis Lemmon came with his father John Lemmon to Baltimore. He and his six brothers became known as great patriots in the struggle against the Mother Country. On January 4, 1777, Alexis was commissioned as a Captain in Washington’s Army. He had married Rachael Stansberry, sister of General Stansberry.
The Lemmon family prospered, he became a member of the Maryland Legislature and acquired a large plantation. His estate was known as the “Eight Sisters Plantation,” undoubtedly because during the war years, between 1772 and 1786, eight daughters were born to them.
The Lemmon daughters were destined to be the pioneer mothers of our community, for all that survived to adults were the first to make homes in the great forests along the Shauck Creek.”…..excerpted, https://www.morrowcountysentinel.com/2018/10/03/revolutionary-veteran-lemmon-honored/; article in the Morrow County Sentinel, 1984
