General Notes: Husband - Thomas Lemmon

---

He was a native of eastern Pennsylvania, of Scotch-Irish descent. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and the fol­lowing story has been handed down in the fam­ily: One day while on his way to join the Continental forces, tired and thirsty, he asked a handsome young lady for a drink of water. Observing how worn-out he was she brought him a glass of milk, and he was so touched by her sympathy and thoughtfulness that he told her he would come back some day and marry her. He kept his word, after the war was over.

In 1797 he settled on a tract of land in East Franklin township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, 211 acres, but soon afterward removed to Lexington, Kentucky.
