McLemore? A confusing situation.
My only (proven; there may be more) Scottish connection is through my Great Great Great Grandmother, who was a Turner. We have traced the line back to the Rev. William Turner, who left Scotland in the mid 17th century with his wife, whose maiden name was "McLemore". I found one source of unknown quality online who claimed that was an Anglicization of MacGilmore, but I was wondering if any of the Rabble could offer some insight? She and Rev. Turner appear to be from Aberdeenshire, not sure if that helps at all.
We believe William was born around the time of the troubles with Clan Campbell in 1646. That might explain why a Turner was so far from Argyll; its our thinking at least.
