"Memorial Record of Alabama" V.I. Published by Brant and Fuller, Madison, Wisc US/CAN 976.1 H2m, v.I. p.935.
"John A. Elmore was a native of South Carolina, and son of Gen. John Elmore, who removed to Alabama, and in whose hornor a county has been named. J. A. Elmore commanded a company of volunteers in the Creek war of 1836, and has since been generally known as Captain Elmore. He was elected to the Senate from Lowndes county, in 1837, and took an active part in giving strength and direction to the State Rights party, of which he was a member. He afterwards removed to Montgomery, where he still resides. For several years he was the law partner of the Hon. William L. Yancey. In 1865, he was member of the State Convention which formed the Constitution of that year.
As a lawyer, Captain Elmore has always maintained a prominent rank. In all the relations of life he is high-toned and agreeable, with a character for integrity surpassed by that of no citizen. He is now considerably advanced in years, and has the satisfaction of looking back upon a useful and hororable career.
In 1860, he was appointed, by Gov. Moore, Commissioner to South Carolina, to consult with the authorities of that State upon the political situation. In early life, Captain Elmore married Miss Martin, of his native State, an accomplished lady, who was connected with the large and influential family of that name."(1)
