James L. McLemore III
Query: The Immigrant James McIlmorrow/Macklemore (Scottish and early American spellings, respectively) arrived in the Crown Colony of Virginia, probably before October 1689 (and certainly by early 1690) from his native Colmonell Parish, Ayrshire, Scotland, where his presumed father William McIlmorrow had died in July 1664, leaving a widow Mary Aitken and some "bairns" (children) which are believed to have included an oldest son William, a second son Mungo (who also immigratred, by 1681), James aforesaid, and Abraham, who apparently came to America with James. All of these children were younger than 10 or 12 years old by their father's death, and their mother raised them thereafter in obscurity, probably among her Aitken relatives. James married, within a year or so of his arrival in Virginia, Fortune Gilliam (whom he called "Fortain" - the Scottish equivalent of Fortune, in his will), the daughter of John Gilliam (d. 1671) and his wife Margery (Hinshaw) Gilliam, the daughter of parents who were both 100% English in their origin. Neither were Objibwa or any other Indian tribe or blood As some have reported. This was the mid 1600's, and no English settlers had any contact with tribes as far from eastern Virginia as the Objibwas! Following her husband John's death in 1671, Margery (Hinshaw) Gilliam married as her second husband, Henry Briggs (with whom, and with whose family, the McLemores had neighborly relations) and raised her children in the same household as Henry's five sons from his first marriage. One of these step-brothers of Fortune's was later an Indian trader and interpreter among the Nottoways along the Southside of Virginia (the then location of the frontier), and it may have been from listening to his tales a generation later that James and Fortune's 4th son Charles got interested in doing more or less the same thing. James and Fortune had six children mentioned in his 1734 will: William, born about 1691/2, named for James' father; Margery, born about 1693-96, named for Fortune's mother; John, born about 1698+/-1, named for Fortune's father, James Jr., born about 1701+/-, named for James himself, Charles, born about 1704/5, named for Fortune's brother Charles Gilliam, and Ephraim, born about 1707-10, named for some unknown member of James's family, who seemed to have had a lot of Biblical names amongst them. This followed the traditional Scottish naming pattern. James and his family moved about 1720 +/-7 to the banks of the Roanoke River in NC, just below the VA line, where James died about 1734/5. His will left (among other devises and bequests) a large Island in the middle of the river to be divided between three of his sons, with Charles getting the westernmost of the three parcels. His life at least from then on (if not earlier) began to be tied up with the western frontier, and with the Cherokee Indians living to his west in the Great Smokie Mountains of western NC, eastern TN and northwestern GA. He was known and reported to have been among the Cherokee in the 1750's and early 1760's, and is mentioned by Timberlake in his journal on his sojourn with the them. It was this Charles McLemore who thus provides the link between the Cherokees and the McLemores, as he is reported to have married a Cherokee woman named Quatsy Wolf (which presumably but not certainly indicates that she was of the Wolf Clan). They were known to have had two sons, Robert (or Robin) McLemore and John McLemore, whose descendants are usually referred to as full blooded Cherokees, and who each figured to some extent in later Cherokee history, each signing one or more treaties with the United States (with other Cherokee Chiefs) on behalf of their fellow tribesmen. At this point I start to transition from my information giving and move on over to my question. John seemed to be more Cherokee than Robert, it seems; he apparently went west to Arkansas in the early voluntary relocation after the turn of the century. Robert stayed behind in the east, and set himself up on a farm between two arms of Lookout Mountain, which little valley or "cove" has ever since been called McLemore's Cove. It was the site of the earliest skirmish of the Battle of Chickamauga whose main battlefield lies only a few miles away to the north. There on his farm Robert and his wife So-Kinny Smith raised their family, until later when they were forced to take the "Trail of Tears" west. But the genealogists seem to differ on just who were in this family, and the situation with Robert's brother John is even worse. There are some that say Robert had a daughter called "Runafter" who married first John Lowery, and second John "Wagonmaster" Benge. However, those who do make her Robert's daughter (and there are many), seldom if ever include any other children. Yet there are others who say Robert had a large family of eight children: Benjamin, Betsy, Eagle, Jennie, "Partridge" George, Peggy, Sally and Tom (the later named for So-Kinny's father John Thomas Smith). Please note that Runafter is not mentioned in that list. I have looked recently, and have not found a single instance where she AND the other eight are ever listed together in the same family (of Robert). It is for this reason that I (and a small handful of others - admitedly a minority) carry her instead as daughter of brother John; I also have John as father of a John Jr. as two John McLemores are shown at the same time in several of the censuses and Cherokee immigration and settlement lists of the early nineteenth century. My Question to all of you Cherokee McLemore researchers out there is thus: Who were the families of John and Robert (Robin) McLemore, and who specifically was father of "Runafter"? Who was John's wife? Does anyone have any linage for descendants from any of Robert's other children other than "Partridge" George, who has an extensive list of descendants? Do you have sources for your answers? Be forwarned, however, I am doing all of this research, even though this is not my line, because I am trying to research and write a book on the McLemores from early Scotland down to time of the American Civil War, and I may be using the information, with or without attribution, in that future publication, the purpose of which will be to set the record straight and to connect as many McLemores born before 1865 as possible back to the immigrant brothers James and Abraham. Your help is ernestly solicited, and will be greatly appreciated.

Marge Smith
Query: Siyo, I am looking for information about the students of Fayetteville Female Seminary in Arkansas. My understanding is that Sarah Bird Northrop Ridge left Cherokee Indian Territory after the murder of her husband John Ridge and took a group of girls, including some Martins, with her in 1939, and that the girls attended the Fayetteville Female Seminary in Arkansas under Sophia Sawyer and later Lucretia Foster Smith. I'm very interested in who attended the school and can't seem to find it. I have a Hannah MARTIN born circa 1836 in my tree who married a Peter SMITH and moved out of state to Iowa. I think Peter may have been Irish, but Hannah was of Cherokee and Scottish descent. Sgi dv, Marge

Danielle Burch
Query: Hi, I'm compiling my family heritage. I'm trying to find out more about my deceased Great Grandmother's family. We dont have any documents for her or her sister. And their relatives seem non-existant... We only knew her father, but no documentation for him either. All we know is that suppossedly they were of Cherokee heritage and may have had their surname's spelling changed. The Name is Hunnewell, previously thought to be Honeywell. All I've found so far is two Honeywell on the Dawes Rolls, but it doesnt really help. So if anyone has any geneology information regarding either Hunnewell or Honeywell, I would greatly appreciate if you could share it with me so that I might try and trace my Big Granny's heritage and family.

Zoe L. Langley
Query: Hello, I am looking for information on a Simarian Langley, who I think may be my great grandfather. The only records I have found on him are in the 1880 Federal Alabama census and possibly in the Tallapoosa marriage records in Alabama. That census lists him as born in 1872 and living in Red Ridge, Tallapoosa County, AL. His parents were John and Mary E. Langley. John was born in Georgia around 1841. I think he and Mary may have been Cherokee.
As of 1880 John and Mary had these children:
Louiza b. abt 1870
Simarian b. abt 1872
Martha F. b. abt. 1877
The only other record found so far show that Susan Isabelle Ballard married "Simmie" C. Langley on November 8, 1895. This is in the marriage records for Tallapoosa, AL.
Susan was born July 29, 1879.
They had three children:
Zolon Emerson Langley, b 1896, d. abt. 1960s [my grandfather]
Henry Willis Langley b.1897, d. unknown
Ocie Langley b.1898, d. 1901
The account found in my searching shows that "Simmie Langley" died on Aug 21, 1899 following a wagon accident. Susan and the baby, Ocie, died in 1901 of typhoid. Her parents took in the other two children. No records have turned up in my search of a "Simmie" Langley in Alabama. The marriage records show a CC Langley marrying Susan Ballard. That may be the Christopher Columbus Langley [John's brother] whose 1866 marriage is listed on the same page. Maybe the CC was copied down wrong when transcribing these looseleaf records. My grandfather's name was spelled three different ways in three sets of records, so the errors seem common. I found a John and Mary Langley on the Dawes roll but can't verify if they are Simarian's parents. I can't clearly link to any of my Langley ancestors until it is known whether "Simmie" who is on no records in Alabama, and Simarian are the same person. Simarian shows up only in the one census, no others. I havent'found him in any online birth or death records either. If he isn't on the Dawes roll, where else may I find records of him? "Simmie" and Susan were buried at the Carrville cemetery in Tallapoosa County, AL. Any information on this branch of the Langleys is much appreciated.
