J. B. McLemore

Notes:

John Ellington writes that "My grandfather William Armstead McLemore Born October 1, 1878 Lavina, Tn. Died May 19, 1949 in Memphis buried in Jackson, Tn. Hollywood Cemetery. He was married twice:

Katie Laura Rogers in Lavina, Tn. And remarried 8 years after her death to Gladys Gertrude Pearcy (dau of William Pearcy and Rosa Haney).

William's mother died when he was 8 yrs old and was raised by his dad till his death when William was in his teens. I have a deal more on their children of which my mom is the last surviving of her brother and sisters.

John Ellington writes William's father was "John Armstead McLemore (my great-grandfather)....He was married to Maggie Mathis and Mary Matthews. He and Mary had one child. "

This is the same information shown on his FindAGrave memorial page.

Mark Freeman shows him as the same person as the John A. McLemore, born ca 1845, to Abraham McLemore and Permelia Jane Camp. He also indicates that he might instead be named William Armistead McLemore. He married Mary "Nannie" MATHEWS.

Based on the ten year gap in age it is not proven these John A. McLemore's, born in Tennessee, are indeed the same person.
