The three Lemmons in this list (John, Alexis, and Ruth) who married Stansburys are siblings, members of a Scots/Irish family only recently emigrated who sent a total of six sons to fight in the Revolution. Captain Alexis Lemmon served under General Tobias Stansbury, a cousin of this branch of the family. John Lemmon and his wife Sarah Stansbury are the parents of Hannah Lemmon, who married into the Corcoran/Wilson family and gave birth to the philanthropist and art collector W.W. Corcoran (named after our own William Wilson). See “The WILSON Family” for more about the Corcorans.
