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.
