The McLemore clan

The McLemore clan has multiple coat of arms and standards all of which contend for a historical spot. The Clan Motto has remained the same for generations without contending. The McLemore Clan Motto: Perseveranti dabitur Motto Translation: "It will be given with perseverance." The clan has become largest in Canada and North America with many African Americans and Native American clan members. The current head of Clan McLemore is an American by the Name of Marc Anthony McLemore, whom received his Chiefdom from his father Paul C. McLemore upon his death in December 2018. Paul had a master's degree in History and Library studies, and upon family tree research was told by a Scottish source, that he was indeed the "son of the Chief." As of 2019 attempts to have a McLemore clan Gathering and highland game festival are on hold until further notice due to the COVID-19 outbreak. A new proper and permanent coat of arms will be voted on at the event when it finally takes place.
