Findagrave.com instead shows her location of death as Washington County, Indiana, with her parents being David and Rosa "Webster" Hefner.

Notes:

Shown on the "Harrison-Wineland Connection" tree at WorldConnect as John Alexander McLemore and also shown to be married to Eliza Ellen Carson. Additionally, he is shown as a son of John K. McLemore and Ruth Steelman, and grandson of Ephraim McLemore and Hannah Hudspeth. Eliza Carson is shown as a daughter of Charles Campbell Carson and Elizabeth Dysart of Washington County, Virginia. Findagrave.com shows Eliza as being buried at the Samuel Denny Cemetery, Salem, Washington County, Indiana. On this tree, John Alexander and Eliza Ellen are shown as the parents of six, Samuel Carson, William, David Nelson, Hiram Greene, Mary and Emma McLemore.

Douglas McLemore, a longtime researcher on this line, has not found any records to confirm the parents of these six purported siblings. He emailed in February, 2012, that "in fact, I have two records that show otherwise. "DAVID" is listed as Hiram Greene McLemore's father on his death certificate and "D A" is listed as the father of Samuel Carson McLemore on the marriage license. Also, Owens is listed as his mother. Although his (Samuel Carson McLemore's) wife's maiden name is also Owens so this could be a transcription error."

FindAGrave has a memorial page of Eliza Carson McLemore (1816 Kentucky-1897 Washington County, Indiana), and notes she was the wife of John Alexander McLemore. There is no link to her husband, but she is linked to children Samuel Carson McLemore, Hiram Greene McLemore and Elmira McLemore Hefner. (FAG #61147145). She is buried at the Samuel Denny Cemetery in Samel, Washington County, Indiana.

In April 2018, Douglas McLemore emailed "I finally have hard evidence!!! Found a death certificate for Elmira (McLemore) Heifner, the daughter of Eliza McLemore and this Unknown McLemore. Her father is listed as John McLemore born in Kentucky!!! I am still VERY dubious of this being John Alexander McLemore as this guy. I am virtually certain that he has property in Alabama and may have died there. This doesn't fit the narrative that everything else paints about the travel from NC to KY to IN."

John married Eliza Carson before 1834. Eliza was born about 1816 in Kentucky; died about 1897; was buried in Samuel Denny Cemetery, Salem, Washington County, Indiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
