I am researching the LEMMON family in NC, VA, TN, IN, IL and WI. My earliest known LEMMON ancestor was Peter LEMMON, born circa 1751. He married Mary (Polly) BOWLES. Their son, John LEMMON was born 12 June 1780 in Orange County, NC. Peter lived for a time in Botetourt County, VA. The family eventually moved to Sumner County, TN. John LEMMON married Priscilla ABBOTT 3 Sept 1804 and they had a son, William Berry LEMMON 28 May 1805 in Gallatin, Sumner County, TN. William Berry LEMMON married Mary (Polly) STALUP 24 Feb 1826 and had a son William Berry LEMMON, Jr. 27 Aug 1840 in Greene County, IN. The family later moved to Crawford County, IL. More recently, I'm researching the family of my great-grandfather, Newton Everett LEMMON. He was born on 28 March 1870 in Spring Lake, Pierce County, Wisconsin to William Berry LEMMON, Jr. and Sarah Jane PURCELL. He had a brother Millard Clarence LEMMON who was born in 1867 in Illinois. His father William Berry Lemmon, Jr. died February 3, 1873 and his mother Sarah Jane died 29 April 1884. If you have any information, please send e-mail to BarbPretz@aol.com. Thanks for your help!
