2. | Ocy Harrison Seay was born on 1 Sep 1897 in Montgomery County, Texas; died on 5 Oct 1948 in Augusta, Houston County, Texas; was buried in New Energy Cemetery, Crockett, Houston County, Texas. Notes:
When he registered for the Draft during World War I, he was farming on Rt. 7 in Canton, Texas. He listed his date and place of birth as Oct 20, 1894 in Conral, Texas, and was shown as a resident of Van Zandt, Texas. He described himself as married and the father of one child. As no children are listed with the couple on the 1920 census, it would appear that the child died at a young age. He was shown as of medium build, with blue eyes and brown hair. The form was completed on June 5, 1917.
Find A Grave records show son Douglas Seay did indeed die in 1918, at the age of only 18 months. As no other children are listed with the couple on the 1930 or 1940 census, he may have been there only child.

(Medical):A direct male descendant, still bearing the McLemore surname, participated in the Morrison yDNA study. He was predicted to be in the I1 haplogroup, the most common group in Scandanavia. However, he does not currently have any matches among the other 15 members with the McLemore surname in the study. It is possible that there were several founding McLemore lines, instead of just one as has been long assumed. Or another possibility could be that undisclosed adoptions have occurred through the generations of descendants of both James and/or Abraham.

12. | William Kearney McLemore was born about 1825 in North Carolina; died about 1889 in Texas; was buried in Holly Springs Cemetery, Van Zandt County, Texas. Notes:
Dr. Paul McLemore emailed, in March 2010, that "My fathers grandfather is William Kearney McLemore b 1825 d 1889 this is on the tombstone Holley Springs Cem, Van Zandt Co., Texas, He came from Shreveport, Louisiana to Van Zandt county"
The 1880 census shows that W. K. McLemore was born in North Carolina. John Simpson McLemore, buried near him in the Holly Springs Cemetery in Van Zandt county, instead reports his fathers place of birth as Mississippi in 1880 and as Tennessee in 1900. And J. M. McLemore, who is likely son James Madison McLemore, reports in 1880 that his father was born in Indian Territory, but later reports North Carolina.
Peggy Stewart Gore also shows William Kearney McLemore as being born in Tennessee.
