12. | George Stedham was born about 1829 in Pennsylvania; died on 6 Apr 1876 in Luling, Caldwell County, Texas. Notes:
His middle name is sometimes shown as Cornelius. Melba Gene McLemore shows he was born in Pennsylvania.
George married Lucretia Jane McLemore on 24 Jul 1855 in Guadalupe County, Texas. Lucretia (daughter of Keton Jones McLemore and Rebecca Jane Harrelson) was born on 10 Nov 1838 in Jackson, Hinds County, Mississippi; died on 7 Mar 1930 in Yselta, El Paso County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

13. | Lucretia Jane McLemore was born on 10 Nov 1838 in Jackson, Hinds County, Mississippi (daughter of Keton Jones McLemore and Rebecca Jane Harrelson); died on 7 Mar 1930 in Yselta, El Paso County, Texas. Notes:
Sometimes her date of birth is shown as in 1833, as is the death certificate below. It is more likely to be 1838 per her age on various census enumerations and as Rosa McLemore Dunkerly shows that Wright, born in 1835, was the eldest child of Keton McLemore and Rebecca Harrelson.
Lucretia was married first to George Stedham, who died in 1876, and shortly after his death, she married Joseph Albert OEMISCH
However, she was still listed as Lucretia STEDHAM on subsequent census enumerations. Lucretia's sister, Rosa McLemore Dunkerly, said that Lucretia's "2nd husband Joe Eomish---went away, never heard of, 1 child Paul"
Rosa also notes that Lucretia had six children, two of whom died in infancy.
Norma Smith provided El Paso City Directory lisitngs from 1914-1920, and Lucretia J Stedman, the widow of Geo B, is shown as a nurse and living at 507 Tornillo.
