William married Rossie N. Haraway before 1924. Rossie was born on 7 Dec 1900 in Alabama; died on 6 Jul 1971; was buried in Lebanon Cemetery, Elkmount, Limestone County, Alabama. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"John married Angeline Halbert and lived in Limestone County. John was a small man which served him well during the Civil War. One day he was with his Uncle Maclin Bass McLemore in Rogersville. Maclin was a pilot on the Shoals. The Shoals, being a treacherous body of water and rapids, took a skilled person to navigate. That fateful day John and Maclin were captured by the army. Thinking John was too young (he was 15); he was told to go home and tell his aunt what had happened to her husband.

John in later years carried the Star Route mail in Limestone County. This mail was carried on horseback for which he received $4.00 a month. He lived in Limestone until his death on Valentine Day in 1924 when he literally dropped dead with a heart attack while walking to the store." (The Heritage of Lauderdale County, Alabama, p. 347).

Notes:

Norma Miller (Nmiller896@aol.com) emailed, on 9-17-2006: "I descend through Briggs, his son Burl, his grandson John Melvin and my father, Earl Leonard McLemore. My parents live in Athens, Limestone County, AL and I live in Huntsville, Madison County, AL. I'm not sure all the children were mentioned in a will, or even if there was one, but they were mentioned in an estate inventory. Burrell was about 80 years old when they moved to Alabama and his wife had him give all the land and slaves to their children. When he died there wasn't enough money left to settle his debts. I would assume that he had already given property to children of his first marriage. Burrell was probably well-to-do as he was very active in the slave trade in the Nashville area. If there is anything else I can help with just let me know."
