Notes:

Art McLemore of Aledo recalls that his grandfather, Thomas,"told me when he was a child he remembered the Yankees coming through Alabama and taking his grandfathers shoes." Thomas also told his grandson, Arthur, that he had been born in 1857 in "Scottsburg, Alabama." He listed his brothers as John, Henery, and Will, and sisters as Jane, Sarah, Nancy and Hattie. He said his father was John McLemore, or Knoxville, Tennessee, and his grandfather Henery McLemore, "originally from Ireland." Art also shows his grandfathers middle name as Dickerson, not Dickeson, as shown on his death certificate below.

Thomas married Mattie Thompson about 1888 in Alabama. Mattie was born about 1876 in Alabama; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Her grandson, Arthur McLemore, wrote that Mattie's father, "John Thomasson was a Cherokee Indian."

Notes:

Married:
One of his grandson, Arthur B. McLemore of Aledo, Texas, notes that they also had a son Dan---and Dan McLemore was the informant on the Death Certificate for Thomas Dickeron Mclemore--perhaps he was listed by a different name on the census enumerations?
