Living

Notes:

(Research):This is POSSIBLY a listing for he and his family in 1920 and 1930, but unlikely as the name and age of his wife does not appear correct, and the younger children that should be present appear to be missing:

Note: The birthplace of T.J. Ivy is unclear. It appears as if Texas was orginally written, and then Louisiana was written on in a bolder script on top of Texas. It is possible the two states were written the other way around.

Tobe married Sarah Valuma McLemore on 10 Sep 1896 in Sabine County, Texas. Sarah (daughter of John F. "Finn" McLemore and Lucinda Wigley) was born on 20 Oct 1879 in Jasper County, Texas; died on 7 Feb 1904 in Jasper County, Texas; was buried in Shiloh Cemetery, Provencal, Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She died in childbirth, as had her mother. Middle name also shown by some as Valuna or Luna?

Notes:

Finn's middle name could have been Fenton (based on a poll tax receipt from Jasper) or Finerel (based on the middle name of his son, Rufus) or Finn, as he was commonly called.

At the time of the 1880 census, he was widowed, and living in the home of his in-laws with his young daughter.

He was a farmer. On the 1900 Sabine County census, he is shown in household 22, next to the Henry S. White family, his wife's brother. Household 36 is that of Thomas E. McLemore, his half brother.

Finn died in at the home of his son, Vessie McLemore. Vessie and Nina had been caring for him. Granddaughter Evon remembers she and some cousins going out into the woods to gather wildflowers for him while her father built a coffin. Her father and his brothers took the coffin by cart to the Gravel Hill cemetery a few days later.
