John Fielding McLemore

1844 - 1932  (87 years)

• Name	John Fielding McLemore  [1, 2, 3]
  Born	30 Dec 1844	Kentucky   [1, 2, 3]
  Gender	Male
  Died	19 Oct 1932	Jennings, Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana   [3]
  Buried	Oaklawn Cemetery, Welsh, Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana   [3]
  Notes	In 1900 he was living in the home of David J. McLemore and Eliza Hudson McLemore of Logan County as of the 1860 census. He and David J. McLemore appear to have been first cousins. I was unable to locate him as of the 1870 census, but in 1880, he was living in the home of another first cousin, Sarah McLemore Hoskins, still in Logan County. FindAGrave indicates he was buried in the Oaklawn Cemetery, Welsh, Jefferson Davis Parish, LA. They also show on that website that he served in "Co. F, 26 Ky Inf", which is inscribed on his headstone. Porter Marshall shows that he was a served for the C.S.A. during the Civil War. This is NOT correct. A descendant emailed: "John Fielding McLemore (b. 1844) was a Union Soldier, he was not part of the CSA as listed on the site. The 26th KY Infantry was Union (See Wikipedia and the National Park Service Website) Also, if you look at his grave marker it bears the emblem of the Great Seal of the United States. Last, my grandfather told me that his "grandaddy" ( John F. McLemore) served in the Union Army and "was wounded 8 times." Of course, I have no proof that he was wounded 8 times but as a boy growing up in the south, it stuck with me that one of my ancestors was a Union Soldier."
