Green McLemore, contractor and builder of Knoxville, is the son of Green and Ellen McLemore. The father was a native of North Carolina and the mother of South Carolina. In early life, both came to Tennessee and located in Knox County,. where they married and passed the remaineder of their days. The father was a farmer by occupation. Of their family of then children, four sons and four daughters are now living; all of sons are mechanics. Our subject was born January 26, 1839, in Knox County. He was reared on the farm and educated int eh common schools. At the age of twenty he came to Knoxville, and learned the carpenter's trade under W. K. Eckles. Having worked chiefly as journeyman until 1872 he began contracting, and has gradually extended his business since. By his marriage to Miss Sarah O. Keyhill in 1869 he became the father of three sons. In 1880 Mr. Alexander Kelley joined him in the business since. In connection with his trade,. Mr. McLemore is interested in agriculture, and owns a fine farm of 180 acres on the Holston River. Amont the better buildings erected by Mr. Kelley and himself are the Hattie House, Girl's high School, First National Bankd and the Knoxville Insurance Company's office.

McLemore, Green marr. Keyhill, Sarah O. on 23 Feb 1869

Melba Gene McLemore found the following article in the Nashville Union and American, dated Saturday, April 25, 1874, Column 2, "All Over The City," the fourth paragraph "Green McLemore, arrested on the charge of bigamy, was discharged by Justice Cassetty yesterday for the want of prosecution." This was about five years after their marriage.

This charges does not appear to have led to their divorce, as they appeared together on the 1880 census.

Additionally, as the article was published in Nashville, and since Green and Sarah were residents of Knoxville, this may relate to another Green McLemore.

The Knoxville Weekley Whig and Chronicle: Wednesday, November 10, 1875 Reported the following real estate transfer registered in the office of the County Clerk for the week ending November 6: "Greene McLemore and wife to Thos. Cooper, trustee, lot."

Notes:

Tom Heseltine shows he was "born about 1798, married Nellie CUNNINGHAM, remained in Knox Co."
