Nancy Jane Johnson

Notes:

In November, 1954 Pleasant McLemore told his grand-niece, Ivy, that his mother "was a pratical nurse, and when nursing a righteous patient who succumbed, when she came home, she said he or she went straight to heaven." Pleasant took it upon himself to read her the scriptures about the long wait for death that would take place until Christ's second coming, and recalled that "the distressed look on her face made me sorry I ever told her...."

After K.J.s' death, she was said to have been briefly married to a Mr. GILLEY.

Melba Gene McLemore located her death certificate in California. California State Board of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics, Local Registered number 11657.

Melba noted: "Mrs. E. Hughes was the informant on Nancy's death certificate. That would be her daughter Emily Mary "Emma" McLemore, who married 1st Rudolph Blum, 2nd Charles Leander Hughes. Nancy is living with her widowed daughter Emma in 1910, San Antonio,Texas. Emma and her mother Nancy, both widowed, have moved to California by 1915.

Rosa Dunkerley states in the papers preserved by Lynn Murchison, that mother Nancy died at age 92, as does Nancy's death certificate. By 1915 Emma has moved to California. She and her mother Nancy are living at the same address listed on Nancy's death certificate.

In 1900, she was living with her stepson, Felix H McLemore in Parker County (near Fort Worth).

In 1910, she was with her daughther, Emily Hughes, in San Antonio.

Nancy married Keton Jones McLemore after 1853 in Texas. Keton was born about 1809 in Kentucky; died after 1873 in Bastrop County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She died in infancy.

Notes:

Melba Gene McLemore notes that Rosa's papers list ONLY David O'Donovan, and not James Williams, as Sarah's husband. She was said to have had 8 children in total. No marriage record has been found for David Donovan and Sarah Elizabeth. Melba further notes that census records on David Donovan and Sarah show them to be married the same number of years as Sarah would have been married to James Williams. Additionally, in 1891, Sarah writes a letter to her step-brother Felix mentioning "Jim," and giving the impression she is writing about her husband. Melba therefore speculates that it is possible (but not proven) that James Williams may have actually changed his name to David Donovan.

Pleasant McLemore had the following to say about his sister, in a letter he wrote in January, 1955:
"sister elizabeth was grown and married, when i was born, in later life she Became a preacher, she preached in the church of god for 35 years, she died At the age of 86 with hardening of the arteries. She prayed for the sick and They got well, she used no medicine." Another family member mentioned that Sarah wrote hymns and gospel music.

The following letter, written by Sarah Elizabeth to her half-brother Felix in 1891, was transcribed by Melba Gene McLemore. Melba indicated that the original was difficult to read, both due to ink blotches and a section of the top left had corner being torn.

Barstow, California Feb. 1891

To: F.H. McLemore Dear Brother,

I will answer ?.your letter which i rec'd sometime last month. I have Been so busy lately that i have not had much time to write you an by the Heading of this letter [you can tell] t hat we have moved from doggatt. we left there the First of january not being able to get a house in that place. we are living Ten miles from there. A good bit of work going on her , as this is the Terminal of one r.r. and an other goes thru here. Jim got a job here the First of month. He attends to what they call the coal shoot. That is he Loads all the enjines with coal during the day & on other mass loads at Night..he gets 70$ seventy dollars a month.sometimes he has not ? Much to Do. I don't think it agrees with him to work rather hard and other times Has not much to do . I don't think it agrees with him to work .

there is a school here & the children are going to school but i think there are only three other pupils besides mine. David is sick so much he Does not go regular.we have had some very cold weather since christmas. It Is usually very mild weather in winter here but generally very warm in Summer. I don't suppose i will ever see the " lone star state" again. It Seems to me that i should be glad to see green fields again. There is Nothing growing here except a few trees along the river front?? Of course There is farming done as some other parts of the state bit i think it is All done by erigetion and the whole state is mountainous and i think nar Person has been here a few. A mine some of them are .no buy s meal and i Don't believe ???..their mines are worth five dollars. i received a letter from emma when i got yours. she told me addie was there And in very bad health but i suppose you hear from them often. In regard to My post try as i should not be in the least offended at any thing you might Do for me but i don't think hymn writers ever make much money with their Pens & that is my forte. I have intended to write to some publishers but was Not expect to receive answer. Still if i could make something i could devote More time to writing here , by write better. Still my time ?..talent ? Life are consecrated to god. & if he designs that & that i should receive any thing i will & if not it will be best & i Shall be content. Well this is bad ink & paper & my paper is probably Written & oversaid erably blotched so excuse it . I shall not write a long Letter this time.

Sarah married James Williams on 28 Jan 1873 in McDade, Bastrop County, Texas. James was born before 1853; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: David Donovan. David was born in Jul 1846 in Ireland; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Rosa McLemore Dunkerly recalls that Bob was a "cowboy in his younger days, rode the Chisolm trail--knew all old timers, Ben Thompson, King Fisher and others. Was very good with a gun, wore two. Returned to McDade and killed Tom Bishop and all the members of the gang that were to be found."

Melba Gene McLemore notes, however, that Tom Bishop actually outlived Bob McLemore. She states that there were news articles about several attempts made on Bishop's life over the years. None of the news accounts, however, gave any indication that Bob might have been involved in these attempts. In Bob's family, a sketchy story was also passed down through the years, indicating that "Robert and two other family members from East Texas rode to Round Rock, Tx to get revenge for the hangings."

Both the 1900 census and daughter Margie Bell's delayed birth certificate list his occupation as a Physician. His grandson, Sam McLemore, Jr. clarifies that Bob was actually a "medicine man, healer, Indian Doctor." The 1910 Arkansas census, in fact, lists the family as "Indian." The prior Texas census showed them as white.

Pleasant McLemore wrote that "Bro. Bob and I were opposit characters. I was more like Felix, Bob didn't place much imphisis on justice, but Felix and I did. I roasted Bob many times while visiting him in regard to this. He brought Mollie [his wife] to be with mother before her twins were born, when she went back, I went with her to assist her, I was 16 years of age, I stayed there 5 or 6 months." (From a March 1, 1955 letter to his niece).

Bob McLemore's life was cut short by violence. When his youngest son, Sam McLemore, had not yet reached his tenth birthday he was in the fields with his father and a hired hand. Rosa reports that "the friend corrected Bob's boy Sam in a very rough manner." Bob and the hired hand shot at each other. Bob was shot in the jaw, but didn't visit a doctor. He developed gangrene from the wound and soon died. Bob was around 54 at the time, and left behind his wife and six children. Pleasant McLemore later wrote to a niece that is was a few miles from Vivian, Louisiana where his brother Bob was buried, in a "saw mill town named Mytis, Louisiana." He presumably is refering to Myrtis, a small town in Caddo Parish, near Vivian.

Rosa McLemore Dunkerley writes that Emma died in Boerne, Texas. It would therefore appear she left California sometime after this census to return to Texas. She can not be located on a 1920 census index, so she may have died prior to this.

Emily married Rudolph Bluhm on 8 Jan 1878 in Lockhart, Caldwell County, Texas. Rudolph was born about 1851 in Oldenburg, Niedersachsen, Germany; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Emily married Charles L. Hughes after 1890. Charles was born in Feb 1852 in Kentucky; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She and her brother Rufus were both very ill as young children. Rufus died young, but Addie grew into adulthood and married. She was never able to have children of her own, however.

She was living with her sister, Sarah WILLIAMS, in Luling, Texas, at the time of the 1880 census.

Notes:

Rosa was interviewed by a grandson in 1941, and her detailed description of the family makeup was the starting point for much of the subsequent genealogical research done regarding the Keeton Jones McLemore family. She loved to fish, a trait she passed on to her granddaughter, Barbara Nixon.

In 1944, a few years after her husband's death, Rosa was living at 8005 Grafton Street in Houston.

In a November, 1954 letter to his niece, Pleasant informs her that his sister Rosa had recently been diagnosed with "cancer on (her) lower intestine", a fact that her sons knew but did not want their mother informed of.

Pleasant was interested in family history, and several letters he wrote to family members in the mid 1940's and 1950's have been preserved. He details much of his own history in these letters. He told his niece Ivy that he was a "life long democrat." He also informed her that he "managed to drag through St. Marys College two terms, I payed my own tuition by driving a carriage..." In a 1944 letter to J. W. McLemore in Altus, Oklahoma, Pleasant wrote that "At one time, I was the leading building contractor in S.A. (San Antonio), owned my own woodworking mill. Raised race colts as a hobby, owned the fastest trotting horses in the city (a stallion) in 1909-10-11....(worked) for S.P.R.R. as a building forman...for over 7 years. I resigned to go in business for myself...." In a later letter to his niece, Ivy, he wrote that "over 500 houses in S. A. I made plans for and built them accordingly. The archtictects had much confidence in my bldg. judgement."

Pleasant also told J.W. McLemore that in 1911 he took a contract from "the Standard Oil Co. to build a gas pumping plant at Rodesa, La. I moved in Vivian. La. after completion." In Vivian, he did both commerial and residential construction. After leaving Louisiana, he settled in Houston.

He also informed both correspondents of business reverses that caused him to go bankrupt. He told his niece Ivy that "overwork was the cause of my affliction, my dr. had warned me unless I slowed down it would finally get me.

He is thought to be buried at either the Hollywood or Brookside Cemetery in Houston.

Notes:

Listed as Mary M. WILLIAMS, age 1, at the time of the 1880 census, and as Mamie M. DONOVAN, age 21, in 1900. Melba Gene McLemore writes that she was in touch with some of Mary's descendants, living in Alaska. They always knew her last name a Donovan, as apparently she used that name from the time she was a young girl. It appears she was adopted, either formally or informally, by her mother's second husband.

Robert Donovan is very likely, but not definatively proven. to be the father of Gordon Donovan, born ca. 1912 in California. In 1930, Gordon and Robert were sharing a home in Los Angeles with Robert's mother, the widowed Sarah Elizabeth. Robert was also marked as widowed. Ten years earlier, in 1920, the 8 year old Gordon was living with his grandmother and with his Uncle and Aunt, Wesley & Florence Donovan. Gordon was not in California at the time, being a lodger in the home of Oliver and Grace Griffin in Prescott, Yavapai County, Arizona. He was listed as a white male, age 34 and widowed, and working as a "Clerk of Board, Supervisor."

Finally, the listing below is POSSIBLY for Robert and his wife at the time of the 1910 census. The name and age of the head of household is correct, however the birthplace of his mother is shown as California vs. Texas. Additionally Gordon Donovan's subsequent census responses seem to indicate his mother was not born in California, but in either Texas or Canada. The wife on the listing below is shown as being born in California, as are both of her parents.
