Hi, Could one of these be the man named LEMON? Robert Lemmon with brothers John and James emigrated to America in 1750, settling in Baltimore, Maryland. James LEMMON, son of Robert LEMMON, was born in 1765 near Hagerstown, MD. He served as a messenger boy during the American Revolution when a lad of twelve years--it being safer for boys to carry the messages than men. He carried messages from the camp of General George Washington to that of his father Captain Robert LEMMON and others. He lived in Washignton's camp in Valley Forge and affectionately called him Uncle George. Toward the end of the war James entered the Continental Army as a private and served until the end of the war. In 1800 James married Sarah CARR and lived in Bowling Green, KY. James LEMMON's mother was Eleanor DAVIS (born in Wales and of the Jefferson DAVIS) line. Does it seem possible that it was him or one of these LEMMON families? THIELJL@aol.com
