On your Sarah Jane Lemonds, is that a marriage record or a birth record. According to Rockingham Historical Society book, my ancestor was Sarah "Sally" Ann Lemons, daughter of Esther Lemons who was the daughter of John Lemons and Talitha Austin.

According to the record, it was the birth of Sarah Jane Lemonds that was noted. I am not sure your Lemons family and my Lemonds belong to the same group. John and Talitha Lemons lived in the northern part of Rockingham County in an area called Buffalo Beach. The Lemonds referred to in this record lived in the southern part of the county, near Big Troublesome Creek and the Troublesome Iron Works. There is conjecture that the two families were related since John Lemons and William Lemonds, the original Rockingham settler of the "southern" Rockingham Lemonds family apparently arrived at the same time. There are also instances where their family members signed documents for each other, which may be significant considering they lived some distance apart. So far, I have not come up with any documentation that pins down a relationship. I am related to Henry Moore and Jean/Jane Henderson Moore Knight are my ggg grandparents. I am related to the Lemonds through their son John H. Moore, who married Rachel Lemonds. (Interestingly, their daughter Rachel Moore married John O. Lemonds.) The Moore, Henderson and Lemonds families were neighbors. The Rockingham County Historical Society has published a map of all the original landholders, at least at the time Rockingham County was formed. Have you figured out how the Roberts were tied in? I would be interested to know. Mary Lou Olson
