McLemore and (pg 30) Signer Allen (who married Rebecca McLemore), Benjamin Wright (who married Hannah McLemore), James R. Brown (who married Martha McLemore), and Joel McLemore. These are all from Fayette Co, KY and apparently traveled together to Lincoln Co, TN." http://www.jenforum.org/mclemore/messages/768.html (Research):Census Listing: Melba Gene McLemore thinks it POSSIBLE the census listing b elow is that of Martha McLemore Brown. There are several significant differences that need to be resolved before assuming this with certainty.
