Notes:

Appears to have been named in honor of Thaddeus Kosciuszko, the Revolutionary War Patriot from Poland who fought for the American Cause during the Revolution.

Hung, along with his brother Wright, by vigilantes in McDade, Texas on Christmas Eve, 1883. The following story about the event was published in the Austin Statesman Newspaper:

Texas, 25 Dec 1883.
HORRIBLE AFFRAY AT McDADE
Three Men Hung, Three Shot and Several Others Wounded McDade - Dec. 25-"Last night about 7:30 o'clock Henry Pfeiffer, Wright McLemore and Thad McLemore were taken out of the saloon here, by masked men, and carried about a mile into the brush and hanged to a tree. Thad McLemore had been arrested late in the evening on a charge of burglary made by S. E Walker of McDade. He was under arrest at the time the masked men took him, while the other two parties happened to be present. Pfeiffer was charged with horse theft in this County. The party who did the hanging was about 40 or 50 men well armed. Today a party of six men, friends and relatives of the men hung, came in town and raised trouble with Tom Bishop and George Milton, a fight with shot guns and pistols took place, in which Jack Batey and Az Batey were killed, Hayward Batey badly wounded, but who escaped. Willie Griffin a very estimable young man of our town, was shot though the head and mortally wounded by Hayward. Griffin was assisting Milton and Bishop in defending themselves.

The five dead bodies of the McLemores, Bateys and Pfeiffer are lying in the Market house, none of their friends having come for them, and it is thought the town will have serious trouble tonight when they do come. It will be several days before the jury of inquest will get through.

Thaddeus married Texanna Good Baker on 22 Dec 1870 in McDade, Bastrop County, Texas. Texanna was born on 28 May 1853 in Washington County, Texas; died on 25 Feb 1928 in Ennis, Ellis County, Texas; was buried in Crisp Cemetery, Crisp, Ellis County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Melba Gene shows she was a daugher of Rev. Jesse S. Baker and Lavina Gober. After Thad's death, she married second George C. SMITH (b. Sep 1850 d. 16 Apr 1908). At the time of the 1910 Census, she was living with her son, William Thomas McLemore, and was listed as T.G. Smith, age 56, widowed, and mother of six children in total, all living. She apparently resumed using the McLemore name after George Smith died, however.
