  • 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."
