Richard married Laura B. Grinder on 28 Jul 1888 in Lincoln County, Tennessee. Laura was born in Sep 1872 in Kentucky; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Norma Miller (Nmiller896@aol.com) emailed, on 9-17-2006: "I descend through Briggs, his son Burl, his grandson John Melvin and my father, Earl Leonard McLemore. My parents live in Athens, Limestone County, AL and I live in Huntsville, Madison County, AL. I'm not sure all the children were mentioned in a will, or even if there was one, but they were mentioned in an estate inventory. Burrell was about 80 years old when they moved to Alabama and his wife had him give all the land and slaves to their children. When he died there wasn't enough money left to settle his debts. I would assume that he had already given property to children of his first marriage. Burrell was probably well-to-do as he was very active in the slave trade in the Nashville area. If there is anything else I can help with just let me know."
