Hi, Don't know if there might be a connection; I have LEEMON/LEEMAN/LEAMAN/LAYMON and possibly LEMONDS from NC to TN to AL. They started out in Granville/Franklin/Nash Counties & began migrating. May or may not have been in Rockingham County. There were LOTS of them and they didn't pass down a wonderful family Bible explaining their relationships :) We have a JUDAH STONE that married JOSEPH LEEMAN--JUDAH was reportedly from Henry Co. TN--this is unusual for me in that we've found no other link to Henry County. We had a ROBERT LEEMON recently crop up from circa 1810-30 and we have an ELLENDER (female) in our line. I *think* there was a George Martin too--IF I'm not mistaken (sometimes I get genealogy overdose hunting these people). Do you have any: STONE, PATTERSON, MERRITT, RANSOM, OSBURN/OSBORN connections? My line intermarried with these families frequently. Let me know what you think.

Author: <LEHMAN-L@rootsweb.com> at ##Internet Date: 08/26/1998 11:04 AM Just out of curiosity, has anyone researched Martin's and/or Lemonds' in Louisiana near the date of 1834? I have 2 sisters. Ellenor Martin and Rachel Martin that were both married to Lemonds (brothers or cousins), Robert and Thomas, respectively, and both families had a child born 1834/1835 in Lousiana, but in the 1830 Census and the 1840 census, Ellenor and her husband were in Henry County, Tn with no children born yet, but there was another adult man living with them which may have been Rachel's future husband, Thomas. However, I have never found their marriage records. I do know these families originate in ROCKINGHAM CO, NC
