Jo, This information was sent to me by a Barbee researcher who also had ties to a Lemon family. I have not seen the exact reference. I believe it is from "Genealogical Abstracts of Rev War Pension Files" Vol II, by Virgil D. White. When I am in the FHC library in Los Angeles I will double check. "John Lemon or Lemmon, Martha W3025, PA Line, sol enl in Westmoreland Co.,PA & he m there to Martha widow of William Hare or Hair, sol & wid had m about Christmas 1791 & later moved to Scott Co KY & sol d there 2 or 4 Jul 1820, wid appl 14 Sep 1838 Scott Co KY aged 79, children were John M b 19 Feb 1792, James b 14 Feb 1794, Robert b 1 Apr 1796, George b in Apr ?yr, Ann b Apr yr?, Martha b in Aug yr?, (all three illiegible) & Vance b 30 Aug 1806, also shown were; Mary Hare b 17 Feb 1787 & Jane Hare b 20 Feb 1789; in Feb 1848 sol's bro Robert Lemon was of Boone Co MO & had srv with him in the Rev War & had also lived in Scott Co KY before moving to MO." The Barbee researcher also claimed that the above John Lemon/Lemmon had a first marriage to an Elizabeth /unk/. Proof unk I have a picture of the Robert Lemon (brother of John Lemon) that was in an article about his family in Boone Co MO. He looks exactly like my grandfather. Information about Robert Lemon: b 1755 Tyron Co., Ireland, d 12 July 1848 Boone Co., MO. The article is in the book "My Father's People" by Rebecca (Becky) Hardin, pub 1982 Morresville IN; Library of Congress No 81-84053.Vol I. p 125-131. I have many notes on Lemon families but nothing that gives me the parents of my Margaret A. Lemon b 12 May 1816 Scott Co KY d 24 Dec 1891 Harrison Co KY wife of Rev. Joseph R. Barbee. I am leaving for a short trip and if it would help,when I return, I will go through and post information that I have on all of the Lemon families in my file.
