William married Mary F. McLemore on 5 Apr 1805 in Pulaski County, Kentucky. Mary was born about 1782 in North Carolina; died about 1870 in Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Who are her parents? Based on the location of her marriage and her age, she could be a daughter of Ephraim McLemore and Hannah Hudspeth. However, there is no indication that they had a daughter named Mary, unless she is actually the daughter called "Sally McLemore" in a transcription of Ephraim's Will.

James McKinney writes that Ephraim's eldest son, Sterling, paid taxes on 200 acres of land on Skaggs Creek as early as 1806, and may have been there earlier. McKinney also writes that in April 1805, William Bethuram , a neighbor of Sterling's, married a "Sarah McLemore. It is not known if this was Sterlings' youngest sister, Sally, or a daughter of Sterling's."
