    Notes 
    • When her husband was killed in 1863, Rosa was left with five children, all under the age of 12. She never remarried and remained focused on her family's survival during the desperate times of the Reconstruction. After the war she moved her family to Copiah County, MS and engaged in land speculation with her brother, John Thomas McLemore. By 1878 she had moved her family back to Perry County. The 1880 US Census lists Rosa with all her children living in the same household except daughter Sebelle R who had married Abraham L. FAIRCHILD. Here in Perry (now Forrest) County, Rosa lived out her life until she died believed to be after 1900 on the old John McLemore property and was buried in the family cemetery. (Hammond, "MAJOR AMOS McLEMORE", p. 2).
