I do not deal with ancestry autosomal DNA matches so cannot be of any help there, but hope your AtDNA results have been transferred into ftdna's projects. Please compare your Lemon matches/YDNA results from Family Tree DNA lab, Houston TX. Am sure you have joined your YDNA to the Lemon surname project(s) at ftdna.  Work with your volunteer project administrator there -- YDNA testing/haplogroup SNP refinement has greatly advanced but you dont mention YDNA progress-do test and consider Big Y, which then is eligible to advance into YFull's excellent analysis.

Please refer to technologist founder of the YDNA,  Todd DNA Project, Terry Todd, of Illinois USA, early scans of these Rev. Samuel Agnew pages (which are owned and held by the Kentucky repository as set forth earlier):

Isabella Lemon (4) b1820 m. Thomas Leghorn

Matilda Lemon m. ______ Dunwoody and had 10 kids, one of which is Martha Dunwoody, #6 of 10, m. D. McCoy [Nickles, McCrum, some Dunwoodys to America];

2nd child, Wm Lemon m. ______, and had a son David Lemon, ___________________ (no detail on this David...so ?)

Hope you consider and place the Lemon's of Ballymorran as stated on the Ros Davies' pages for County Down as set forth in this thread.

So yes Leghorn/Dunwoody/Lemon/Todd are all tied to my Group 2 YDNA Todd results--so not Group 1 YDNA Todd results (Mary Todd Lincoln line). My old notes refer to  "William Lemon's property near Newbliss" --so perhaps you could study this clue. I see that Newbliss also arose in an email I received 3 March 2009 from Richard McMurty, which I quote here:

"By the 1858s, there were only 8 Todd families in Monaghan:
Emyvale-Annagh-Tiravera area:  James, Mgt and 3 John’s about 25-30 km from New Bliss
Kilmore: Wm Todd only 11 km from New Bliss
Monghan: Elizabeth about 17 km from Newbliss
 
The next step for the Monaghan Todds would be to research the tithe records from the 1820s to get a picture of the Todds who remained behind. Then, the next step would be to begin systematically getting the marriage records of Todds in Monaghan from the 1840s and deaths from the 1860s to construct  a family tree of the Monaghan Todds.  This would not identify Andrew, father of Samuel Rutherford Todd b 1807 but it would show you the family that stayed behind and give a better idea of where in Co Monaghan Andrew came from. Depending on the DNA signature, you might even be able to prove connection to the Monaghan Todds who remained in Ireland. I can find no Todds in Co Monaghan today, but there are  few in nearby Co Tyrone and Armagh.
Richard"     [Richard McMurtry's email to Toddstown [rootschat], dated March 2009]

I read about your church CD project.  I am not sure what the earliest TODDs you have within those Presbyterian records, but yes there are quite a few I hope that you have.  I do not know the cost of the CD, but I would consider getting one.  Could the Haghill TODDs who immigrated have settled in the earliest settlements near Co. Monaghan?  Would the church CD show the ones who removed to County Down and America...Hope springs eternal.

I noted today that there are more GRAY references than I noted in my earlier post.  George GRAY and Christaine ARMOR, his spouse [Doc A 9. Pg 179 Barony of Glasgow AD 1564 as specified on pg 94 of Geoffrey Todd's papers, Mitchell Lib, Glasgow].  An ARMOR married an early County Down TODD - I am only viewing a detailed typed abstract/report by Geoffrey Todd, 1968, not the original papers.

A Charles GRAY, merchant, and his burial plot [on pg 118 of Geoffrey Todd's papers] are adjacent to plots owned by James ARMOUR, merchant, and _____ AIKENS, and Robert MARSHALL grandfather of Robert Paterson, tailor in Paisley who conveyed this same MARSHALL plot to George TODD, portioner of Haghill. 

If this group could ultimately tie some pieces together....Could the Robert Marshall name also tie with the Ballymorran, by Killinchy, Co Down Robert MARSHALL & TODD families (abt 1800s-1850s)- wishful speculation here-- but yes this transfer of burial plot document date is 3 Mar 1715, Glasgow [ Doc C. 60, Geoffrey Todd papers, p 118]...

Note that your Co Cavan POLLOCK/POGUE names are also important to me (Glasgow roots), as are all the TODDs--There is also an very early walled Presby colony cemetery with Nesbitt/Todd burials which seems to have vanished...not in Co Down cemetery series...so maybe this too is in the church records...Could your records be the earliest Presby migration from Glasgow area...?  How wonderful of you to tackle the scanning and preservation.  That's tremendous! Thank you!

Yesterday I also made some notes on a different David LEMON, so I guess this alternative David LEMON (died 1838) has to be considered also…given the scenario evolving...

Ros Davies writes that Ballymorran was the “home of poet David Lemon 21 Apr 1838” [source: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rosdavies/PLACENAMES/Ballyhm.htm ]
David LEMON .  Holywood of Ballymaghan; leased a house & small garden in 1863 from Thomas McClure GV . 
David LEMON .  Killinchy of Ballymorran, poet, died 21 Apr 1838 DR .
David LEMON . Killyleagh will probated 1839; executor was J. D. Wilson of Ballygoskin IIW # 38447
John LEMON . Killinchy of Ballymorran; died 16 Jun 1778 aged 21; son of James Lemon; buried Presbyterian graveyard MIs

Was there Presbyterian  migration from _______ Co Down to Co Monaghan and back to Ballymorran, Killinchy, Co Down, ?  There is a land record for a David LEMON, of Ballymorran.   Separately a Robert TODD (b. c. 1806)  family in Ballymorran also had a land record  with a RUSSELL family, as both recorded on microfilm at PRONI, Belfast, County Down, No IRE.  The RUSSELLs of Balloo Killinchy may be tied with the adjacent Ballymorran RUSSELLs, and the SCOTTs of Killinchy… I don’t recall the details offhand…After being kindly driven around Balloo, Ballymorran and Killinchy, County Down, this past spring, the neighborhood is certainly very close together.

Re: TODD/LEMON farm in Killacronaghan or Killycronaghan, in between Killeevan and Smithborough, County Monaghan, No Ire

Yes, your HALL and ELLIOTT also seem to fit here nicely--It appears as though Walter John LEMON, born 1849 may be the best? candidate for Colin and Elizabeth in Western Australia's line...I am not sure...but see what you think of Rev. Samuel Agnew's papers, extracted below....
