Of Camden Co NC & TN
This is my working hypothesis – the way I see it as of this moment!!
Joseph Sanderlin of Camden Co NC was guardian to the orphans of Maxey Sanderlin, son of Ezekiel–Lemuel and Nancy (records found 1804 through 1809 Camden Co NC).
“A List of letters remaining in the Post Office at Murfreesborough, Tenn. First of January 1828, on the first of April next will be sent to the General post office as dead letters. Sanderlin, Lemuel….”
1830 Wilson County TN Sanderlin, Lemuel 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-10, 1 male 30-40, 2 females under 5, 1 female 5-10, 2 females 10-15, 1 female 20-30
from an “obit” appearing in the Western Methodist 2 May 1834, page 3
“MRS. ELIZABETH SANDERLIN – died in Cairo on Sunday evening, April the 20th, Mrs. Elizabeth Sanderlin, aged about 40 years. She was the wife of Rev. Lemuel Sanderlin. She was born in Norfolk County, VA; embraced religion about 12 years ago in Rutherford County TN and was ten years an acceptable member of the M. E. Church. In her last illness, she suffered immensely. She left a husband and eight children to lament her departure.”
Lemuel Sandelin is married ca 1835 Mary Ann ca 1818 TN.

This sketch appeared in Delke’s “History of the Chowan Baptist Association.” ELDER LEMUEL SANDERLIN, BORN IN CAMDEN COUNTY 1794–DIED 1855, AGE 61. He professed religion in Tennessee and united with the Methodists. In 1824, having returned to his native county, he was baptized into the fellowship of Sawyer’s Creek church and ordained in the Association 1845. The insidious errors of Campbellism were then making rapid advances.. Against these, he was a firm opposer. He was the pastor, at different times, of Elizabeth City, Shiloh, Providence, Shady Grove, North-west (VA) and Black Water (VA) churches.
Note: I Sally think the editor erred in the date Lemuel returned to Camden by about 15 years. Perhaps the date they baptized him at Sawyer’s Creek should be 1844.

| I’m trying to find the parents of Wilson S. Sanderlin, born 1822 and Lemuel C. Sanderlin, born 1828. They were both born in Tennessee, Possibly Madison County. Possible sisters were Elizabeth Sanderlin and Mary Sanderlin Hines. Wilson S. Sanderlin married Louisa C. Cromer in 1842 in Hardeman Co., TN. Children were Palmyra Sanderlin Thomas, Isaac W. Sanderlin, Adeline Elizabeth Sanderlin Corley, Samuel B. Sanderlin, and Julia A. Sanderlin Stack Corley. Wilson & Louisa went to Texas, where he died before 1861. Louisa moved to Arkansas with her younger children.Lemuel C. Sanderlin married Mary Moody in 1850 in Madison Co., TN. Children: James Wilson Sanderlin, Martha Alice Sanderlin, Nancy, Joe, Frank, and Katherine Sanderlin Willeford Bridges. The family went to Nacogdoches County, Texas, c 1858 and then to Monroe County, Arkansas c. 1864, and then to Lonoke County, Arkansas in the 1870s. |
Any tips on finding the ancestry of Wilson & Lemuel Sanderlin?
Thanks!

Hi Sally,
I contacted you several years ago about my ancestor Lemuel Sanderlin, who was born in 1828 in TN and married Mary Moody in 1850 in Madison County, TN. You posted me email on your Sally’s Family Place website as a possible son of Wilson Sanderlin.
Below is everything I’ve found about another Lemuel Sanderlin, born 1794 died 1855. What do you think of all this? It looks like he could be the father of my Lemuel Sanderlin and his brother Wilson S. Sanderlin.
If you have time, could you let me know what you think?
Thanks,
Jim Sanderlin

GENEALOGICAL INFORMATION FROM
THE WESTERN METHODIST 1833-1834
May 2, 1834, Page 3:
MRS. ELIZABETH SANDERLIN
Died, in Cairo, on Sunday evening, April the 20th, Mrs. Elizabeth Sanderlin, aged about 40 years. She was the wife of Rev. Lemuel Sanderlin. She was born in Norfolk county, Va.; embraced religion about twelve years ago, in Rutherford county, Ten. and was ten years an acceptable member of the M. E. Church.
In her last illness she suffered extremely, but while her frail body enabled her soul to converse with those around her, she bore testimony of God’s power to save. She left a husband and eight children to lament her departure but their loss is her gain. Go, gentle spirit, rest from thy labors and cease from thy sorrows and repose on the bosom of thy Saviour.

It would seem that the Lemuel Sanderling in the above census is the same as the one below. My guess would be that he was a circuit riding preacher and was counted twice. What do you think of this?

[she then married John Greives & later Mr. Wood]
Joseph Sanderlin was guardian to the orphans of Maxey Sanderlin, son of Ezekiel–Lemuel and Nancy (records found 1804 through 1809).
