COURT RECORDS OF AUGUSTA COUNTY 1745-1800 DEED BOOK NO. 25. ADDITIONAL MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. page 579 Page 403.--4th January, 1787. George Lemon to Paul Kook, 85 acres patented to said George, 4th November, 1785, on Naked Creek.From 19 November1760 to 19 July 1773, thirteen deeds are recorded to and from George Lemon. These all concern land in, or near, Taneytown, now Carroll County, part of this land was "Brother's Agreement." George Lemon is usually called a farmer, but on this 19 June 1773, he was called a carpenter. In 1764, he was called son of John Lemon. In all sales his wife was called Elizabeth, or Mary Elizabeth, except on 20 June 1764, when she was recorded as "Merillis." which is a nickname for Mary Elizabeth. By carefully following the land, it is certain that all of the deeds concern the same man. There were other Lemon families in Frederick County, Maryland. On 25 October 1752, 100 acres "Red Bottom" was surveyed for George Lemon in Frederick County, Maryland, this was patented and recorded 22 May 1759.12 On
18 June 1766, George and Elizabeth Lemon sold a lot to Andrew Hull, being by Ludwig Miller's lot on the road near Taneytown, and gave Hull the water rights at the spring.13 After 19 July 1773, George Lemon does not appear in the records of Frederick County, Maryland.The next record found for this George Lemon was the baptism of his son Jonathan at McGaheysville, Virginia. Many other men named George Lemon were found and eliminated. In November 1777, George Lemon purchased land in Augusta County, Virginia, the deed delivered to Lemon 31 May 1781. On 4 January 1787, George Lemon and wife Elizabeth sold land, part of which he had by patent dated 4 November 1785.14
To prove the sons of our George Lemon, and also to follow his movements we will now check the personal tax lists, and the real estate tax lists. Both are found at The Virginia State Library, Richmond, Virginia. The first list is for 1782, and no Lemon appears. There is a notation in the published list that George Lemon refused. The headings vary on the lists from year to year.

In 1788, no Lemons appeared in either county.
Botetourt County, Virginia:1789 Frederick Leamon 1 tithe 4 horses
George Leamon 2 5
Jacob Leamon 1 2
In other book for this county is:
Christian Lemmens 1 tithe 2 horses

Frederick Leamon 1
Jacob Leamon 1
George and Christian Leamon are in the other book.
1795 George Leamon 1 tithe
Fred Leamon 1
Jacob Leamon 1
Conrad Leamon 1
Andrew Leamon 1
George and Christian Leamon, each with one tithe, in other book.The first appearance for our Lemon family on the Botetourt County real estate tax list is in 1799 when Jacob appears, in 1801, Fred appears. In 1806 Jacob Leamon had 182-50-60 acres of land. Fred had 170-40 and 50 acres new ground. In the other tax book, Peter Lemon had 108 acres, Christian 200 acres, George 155 acres. George Lemon, Sr. does not appear on the land tax books. The 1815 list locates the land, with the distance from the courthouse. Jacob Lemon 182-50-60-225 acres, 25 miles N of E on James River. Frederick Lemon 170-50 acres, 27 miles E of N., on Cow Pastures River. In the other book is: Peter Lemon 180 acres, 4 miles west on Cataba, Christian Lemon 160-200 acres, 4 miles west on Cataba for 160 acres, 200 acres on Tinker Creek, George Lemons had several tracts 15 miles south on Glade Creek. This shows that the other Lemon families in this county lived a long ways from the family of our interest.
The will of George Lemon was made 7 December 1805 and recorded April 1807. The court order book for 1804-1807 shows in court on Wednesday 11 March 1807, George Lemmon, George Lemmon, Jr., and Thomas Phillips appeared with their attorney and asked that the suit be continued in the next court, which was agreed upon. Therefore, he died after that date, and before the April term of court. George Lemon did not name his children in his will, and since he did not own any land, there is no court record to prove his children. He appointed his wife Elizabeth, executrix, and John Phillips executor. A codicil authorized payment to "Jacob Lemmons, my third son" for any accounts assisting with lawsuits with John Eddie and John Chapman. The witnesses were: John Phillips, Stephen Hook, Sarah Hook, Jno, Jordon, and one name in German script.15
