    Notes 
    • In an undated letter to his niece, Irene McLemore Yates, Pleasant McLemore writes that her father, John Wright McLemore "had no bad habits, didn't drink and or gamble----he stood beside me when I was playing a game of chance, and he said to me, 'I never make a bet, I am afraid I will acquire my fathers habit' I complimented him on his judgement...." Lisa Lach shows his middle name, incorrectly it appears, as Wisdom instead of Wright.
