Notes:

In 1777 he claimed land in KY, but by 1779 he had returned to Caroline Co.,MD. In 1782 he was taxed on certain property in Washington Co.,VA, where he apparently lived at that time. On October 21, 1790, he was the signer of a petition to the Virginia Legislature asking for the establishment of a new county to be carved out of Lincoln Co.,KY, so was apparently a resident of KY at that time. He later returned to Caroline Co.,MD where he appeared in the U.S. Census of 1800 and 1810 and where he was mentioned in the will of his brother, William Lemar, dated May 26, 1812. He remained in Md and is assumed to be alive at the time of his brother, William's, will. He is believed to have been the father of Gallant III, Luke, and James. These sons were all residents of Kent Co.,DE, at the time of the Census of 1800, 1810, and 1820, only a few miles away from their father who was living in Caroline Co.,MD.

Notes:

From the Harold D Lemar Book - On January 1st, 1704, the records of the Established Church show that one Mary Lemar resided in Queen Anne County, MD, in the home of Charles Lemar and his wife, Mary. These church records disclose that the young Mary Lemar was not the daughter of Charles Lemar, but was undoubtedly a relative. As previously noted, the will of Peter Lemar made a bequest to three daughters, one of whom was named Mary. Under the provisions of the will, she was to receive her share of the estate when she should attain the age of 16 years, or should marry, so that in 1694, at the death of her father, she was a very young girl. Ten years later, we find her making her home with Charles Lemar and his wife, Mary, in Queen Anne County. This Charles Lemar was probably a cousin of Mary's and hence the father of Charles was the third brother, which tradition relates came to America to establish the family here.(The third brother is said to have been John.)
This Charles Lemar, whose name appears on the records of Queen Anne County at times as Lamr and at other times as Lemar, began about 1707 to take a very active place in affairs of his section of the colony. He appears to have been a man of considerable education and training, for while his occupation is given as planter, he was charged frequently with the administration of the estates of his friends and neighbors. On May 2nd, 1710, he purchased the services of a white servant for three and a half years, and again in 1714 he purchased the services of a man and wife as servants for a four-year period. On August 15th, 1712, a neighbor and friend, Mary Simmons, widow of Henry Simmons of Dorchester County, died leaving a will in which she made a bequest to Charles Lemar, Jr., his son who at that time a baby, and in the will she provided that the father, Charles, Sr., should become executor of the will and trustee of the bequeathed property until Charles, Jr., should become of age. In the Spring of 1714 we find the elder Charles in London where, on May 19th, he witnessed a Power of Attorney by one Margaret Brown. By 1716 he was back in MD again where he acted as surety for the administration of the will of William Ireland, deceased, and where he purchased a plantation in Queen Anne County on December 5th, 1716. Sometime prior to 1728 the wife of Charles Lemar died and before June 5th, 1729, he had married Margaret Elsberry, widow of Thomas Elsberry who died May 7th, 1728. Charles and his first wife had at least two sons, Charles II and Gallant, and four daughters, Henrietta ( who married John Hutchinson February 13,1728), Mary Ann (who married William Hadden on September 27th, 17333), Rebecca (who married Thomas Morris, February 5th, 1740), and Sophia (who married Isaiah Whitehead on September 26, 1745). By the second wife he had one son, Luke, and a daughter Priscilla (who married Samuel Wilson on May 1st, 1749). Although he was the owner of several plantations and considerable personal wealth, the record of the probate of his estate has been lost, and is not possible to determine the date of the death of this elder Charles, although the tax records do disclose that he was taxed up to and was still alive in 1750."

Charles married Mary in Charles, Maryland. was born in 1688 in Charles, Maryland; died in 1727 in Queen Anne's Co., Maryland. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

"During the years of the active business life of Dr. John Lemaire in Charles County and of Thomas and Peter Lamar in Calvert County, which then adjoined Charles County, a number of public records in Charles County make mention of John Lamarr. The name is spelled in a number of different ways, but always pronunciation would be the same as that of Thomas and Peter Lamar, and rather different than that of Dr. John Lemaire. In view of the imperfect and incomplete condition of the public records of Charles County at that time it is impossible to determine whether in fact these records refer to a different man than the physician, for there are a few instances in documents other than those herein mentioned where the spelling is used both ways in the same document. The facts which may indicate that the third brother of Thomas and Peter Lamar lived in Charles County are not at all conclusive but are as follows:
In 1675 John Lemarr was a beneficiary under the last will and testament of Giles Cole who was mortally wounded in a battle with the 'Northern Indians.' Other beneficiaries under the will were Henry Hawkins, Thomas Hawkins, Eliza Hawkins and John Hawkins, Jr. Henry and John Hawkins later moved to Queen Anne county, across Chesapeake Bay, where they became the owners of 'Hawkins Charcolia,' a plantation which was later sold to Charles Lemar, who in turn was apparently related to the children of Peter Lamar. [MD Calendar of Wills, V. 1, p. 110] Furthermore, Charles County Judgment Record Index, Liber WC, at pages 666 and 701 makes mention of a suit brought by Lemarre against Wheeler, while page 785 mentions a suit brought by John Lamarr against James Wheeler. It is to be noted that the Wheeler family also moved to Queen Anne County, where one of the sons of Charles Lemar, above mentioned, married Mary Wheeler in 1733. In Will Book, Vol. 4, at page 160, Charles County records, the will of Edward Gale appears. It bears date of February 1, 1685, and was witnessed by J. lemare. Court Records Book P, at page 54 mentions a suit brought by John Lemar against Francis Hemersley. Maryland Archives, Vol. 7, page 249, refers to an act passed by the Legislative Assembly ordering payment of 1,500 pounds of tobacco to John Lamarr in compliance with a former act 'paying the assessment of the Public charge of the Province for services or money due.' A resurvey of 'Love Plantation' in Charles County was ordered and the record shows this plantation was owned by John Lemare."
Lemar mention that prior to 15 Jan 1677, a Jane Lemarr had arrived in the colony as evidenced by the bonus land application of Capt. John Bull. He did not know the relationship but thought that she might have been the wife of John Lamarr or a sister to Thomas, Peter, and John. Maybe she is the Jane Simmons that you mention above and was the wife of John. The only other record he found was in Calvert Papers Number 882 at page 64 and Rent Rolls, Land Records of Calvert County at page 73, which show a "widow Delamarre" as owner of 100 acres of land in Calvert County known as "Lowrys Reserve" plantation. Record shows that her ownership was sometime betwen 1651 and 1723. He goes on to say that no record has ever been found that Peter Lamar ever owned a tract of land with this name and that this could not be the wife of Dr. John Lemaire as she was a resident of Charles County and died a few days after becoming a widow. Thomas Lamar did not die until 1712 and was in Prince George County. So he believed that this reference may have been to the wife and widow of John Lamarr.
He then goes on to show how he believes Charle Lemar, a possible son of this John, was related to the daughters of Peter Lamar. One of the daughters, some years after the death of her father, made her home with Charles Lemar and his wife in Queen Anne County.
Wife was possibly Jane SIMMONS per Col. Donald M. Fehlings. Mary SIMMONS left a legacy to her grandson, Charles (II) who would have probably been about 2 in 1712 when the will was made in Charles County.

John married Jane Simmons. Jane was born in 1655 in France; died in 1712. [Group Sheet]
