Notes:

"He was raised around Rogersville, Ala. During the Confederate draft, he and others were held at a particular farm. All the prisoner "draftees" carried fodder from the barn to sleep on. Going upstairs, so the story goes, Mac threw his fodder down on the guard and headed for the Coldwater area. This is how the McLemores were supposedly established in Lincoln County. Mac was blind in later years and terrified of storms. Thunder would send him to hide in the basement." From the ANCESTORS OF STUART DAVID CHILDRESS
