Elizabeth Catherine Rich

Notes:

Probably the sister of Mary Alice and Lola Jane RICH?

Elizabeth married Amos Bullard McLemore on 28 Dec 1901 in Sampson County, North Carolina. Amos (son of Lofton Hayes McLemore and Elizabeth Ann Bullard) was born on 5 Mar 1869 in North Carolina; died on 3 Feb 1944 in Shreveport, Caddo Parish, Louisiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
Robert McLemore Butler has their date of marriage listed twice in his database, once in 1901 and once in 1907. It appears that 1901 is the correct date.Witnesses were Wesley FAIRCLOTH, J.E. RICH, R.E. HOBBS. The couple was married at O.F. Rich's.

After they married, Amos and Catherine left North Carolina and moved to Texas and then to northwest Louisiana, where Amos worked as a driller. They say he was head driller on the first well over water, which was in Caddo Lake. They had eight children.

Robert McLemore Butler writes that he was 32 and she was 26 when they married in Sampson County.

Unable to locate in the census indexes for 1910 or 1920. In 1930, they were in Caddo Parish, Louisiana. Six of their children were still living at home. Boyd had already died, and Ennis had apparently already left home.
