She was said to have married John W.V. TURNER, born about 1830.

Notes:

(Research):Betty Blane Sutton speculates he is the father of her ancestor, George Robert McLemore. She emailed, in February 2012, that George Robert Mclemore was born in 1882 in the South, sometime before 1920 he married Thula (Allie) Willis in OK. They had two children: my mother, Violet Modene Mclemore (April 8 1920 -May 20 1978) and Paul Levithan Mclemore (Sept 17 1924 - Apr 1974) both born in OK. After Thula (1892-1927) died he took the two chldren to Texas where they ended up in a children's home. George returned to OK. In 1946 George ended up in Western State Hospital for 11 years and is buried on there grounds. I have found him in the 1910 and 1920 census, but nothing else.
