  Speculation as to the identity of Jemima Leamons:
  At one time, a search of rootsweb's world connect database for Jemima ____ born 1791 in Kentucky yielded on hit: Jemima Demaree of Kentucky. She could be our link. Her name, age and place of birth match. Jemima Demaree's later history and marital status is unknown. Her oldest sister was Mary "Polly" and our Jemima's oldest daughter was Mary "Polly". Additionally, Jemima Leamons' daughter Tabitha primarily used family names for her children. She had one daughter named Demarius. The Demaree family of Kentucky in earlier generations went by Demarest. Jemima was a recurring name among the Demarest family whose roots can be traced back to Holland. The name Jemima was used for several of our Jemima's grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
  Some individuals have chosen to identify Jemima as a "Holder". No hard evidence supporting this hypothesis has been presented. It is true there were Holders in Jemima's household in 1850, but we know those Holders were her daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren.
