Durant Hunter McLemore was born on 22 Jan 1880 in Bells, Crockett County, Tennessee (son of Abraham M. "Abram" McLemore and Nannie ???); died on 1 Oct 1942 in Hempstead County, Arkansas.

Notes:

Jeff Loveless shows him as a son of Edward C. McLemore and Ida Manning. Jeff indicated "It looks like Durant's birthday and Edward's [his fathers] wedding were pretty close so I wonder if it might have been a shotgun affair and Durant was sent away to a relative's to avoid a scandal."

However 1880 census shows a Durant McLemore living with an A.M. and Nannie McLemore, and listed as "son." It thereore appears more likely that Durant was instead a son of Dr. Abraham M. and his second wife, Nannie McLemore.

Abraham M. McLemore was not the son of Edward C. McLemore, they were actually second cousins, both descending from Atkins McLemore and Sarah Janes. Dr. Abraham M. McLemore descended from son Abraham and grandson Young, whereas his cousin Edward C. McLemore descended from son Young and grandson Abraham. The similiarity of first names may account for the confusion.

Durant married Eddie ???. Eddie was born about 1882; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
