General Notes: Husband - John Lemmon


The Lemmons are of English descent. [BHCWC, 487] But other sources suggest an Irish origin.

He was a native of Antram, England, and about 1762 settled at Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, where he was engaged in farming until 1796. In that year he removed to Mt. Pleasant, Westmoreland County, and purchased of the Dillworths a large tract of land which was called "Partnership" and contained 340 acres. He was a farmer, an old-line whig and a presbyterian of the strictest kind. While at Carlisle he received a pass and certificate of character from one of the King's justices of the peace.
