Notes:

Diane McLemore Kennedy emailed, in May 2012, that " If I remember my granddaddy's stories correctly, he had 16 or 18 siblings. Robert left home at age 12 or 13 because he didn't like working on the farm in Mississippi. He traveled (on foot) from Mississippi to Texas. He was a carpenter by trade. I know Robert was in the military during WWI. The McLemore name did not go past my dad's generation. My dad had 4 daughters and his brother had one son that died without any offspring." Diane instead shows his year of birth as 1892.

Melba Gene McLemore notes that his registration for the Draft During WWI shows him as a carpenter for Shaw Construction Company in Sweetwater, Texas.

Robert married Bessie Della Clark about 1917. Bessie was born on 9 Mar 1902 in Texas; died on 26 Dec 1991 in Houston, Harris County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Her maiden name appears to be Clark, based on Jessie Clark, sister-in-law, living with Robert and Bessie at the time of the 1920 census, and also based on this 1910 census record from Callahan County, Texas, where sisters, Bessie and Jessie, of the appropriate ages, were living with their parents, James and Betty Clark.
