Surnames: Lemon Lemmon Lemons Lemmons Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/hAC.2ACE/627.679.2.1.1 Message Board Post: I echo your comments re: the Lemon family, and I have even more information to honor this family: Few people know that Mr. William Lemon, a free man of color in Gloucester, served as the second Pastor of the original predominantly white Petsworth Baptist Church, from about 1793 until 1801. The author Semple writes about him in his "History of Baptists in Virginia." I said "predominantly white" because the circumstantial evidence is that the first Petsworth congregation was made up of both whites and free blacks.
