Biography

According to Nancy's research:^[1]

c. 1816: John Lemonds was born in Rockingham County, NC, the son of Joseph and Margaret Scott Lemonds.

c. 1824: Sarah Moore was born in NC.

27 Dec 1842: "John Lemons" witnessed a trust deed from John E. Scott to Pinckney C. Scott. (David Scott was involved as well.) John proved the deed in court on 4 Jan 1843.[14]

21 May 1847: John and Sarah were married in Rockingham County. Bondsman: H. D. Moore.[13] Henderson Moore was married to John's sister Mary Martha. We thus have three Lemonds siblings marrying into the Moore family: Mary Martha Lemonds and Henderson Moore, Sarah Lemonds and James Sidney Moore, and John Lemonds and Sarah Moore. In light of ages of Permelia and Sarah, is this marriage date incorrect, were the girls born before the wedding, or was Sarah John's second wife?

1850 Census, Rockingham County, NC: Farmer John Lemonds 33, born in NC, with property worth $150; Sarah age 25, born in NC, unable to read or write; Permellia F. age 6; Sarah E. age 4; Emily C. age 2; Dicy Howlet age 12.[15]

28 Aug 1851: James Roberts, High Sheriff, sold 110 acres seized from John Lemons by writ in the amount of $127.00 in favor of A. M. Whitsett, Lyndsey and Culwell. The seized tract adjoined Lot #1 of the Joseph Lemons estate, Simpson Isley, and A. M. Whitsett.[16] James Roberts was the husband of Sarah's cousin Jane; A. M. Whitsett a cousin.
