Archibald McLemore, farmer, and an old citizen of Center Township, five 
miles northeast of Greenfield, is a native of Knox County, Tenn., having
been born in 1817.  His father was Archibald McLemore, of North Carolina,
who went to Knox County, Tenn., when a young man, where he married Sarah
Plumley.  In 1820 they removed to Monroe County, where he died in 1825, 
at about at he age of forty-five, his wife dying in 1824.  She was the 
mother of eleven children, the subject of this sketch being the seventh,
who, after his parents' death, lived with his brother, Abram, working for
him until he was nearly grown.  In 1827 he assisted the governor to remove
the Cherokees to their reservation in Indian Territory.  September 15, 1842,
he married Miss Mollie Brown, who was born in South Carolina, in 1817, the 
daughter of Robert and Jennie (Dennis) Brown, who moved to Monroe County, 
Tenn., about 1820.  In 1842 Mr. McLemore came to Dade County, Mo., and 
settled two miles from Greenville, on the farm which is now owned by John 
Higgin.  He remained two years, when, owing to ill health, he returned to 
Tennessee, and, in 1849, again came to Dade County, settling on the farm 
which he now owns, comprising about 265 acres.  Their family consisted of 
six children:  Mary, who died in 1886, aged forty-three; Robert, a merchant
at Everton; Sarah Ann, wife of James McConnell; William, merchant at 
Everton; Paulina, wife of George Wilson, merchant at Everton.  Mr. McLemore
is a highly respected citizen; in politics he is a Republican, casting his
first vote for Van Buren in 1840, being a Democrat before the war.  He and 
his wife belong to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
