Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Louisa C. Smith was born on 24 Mar 1834 in Mississippi; died on 28 Apr 1909; was buried in McLemore Cemetery, Meridian, Lauderdale County, Mississippi.

    Notes:

    It is assumed, but not proven, that Louisa's maiden name was SMITH, based on the name of her sister, shown as single, that lived with the family at the time of the 1900 Census. An Elizabeth Smith lived with the family in 1860 as well. Louisa was widowed at the time of her marriage to Caleb McLemore, her first husband being John Brown of Clarke County, Mississippi. It appears she was widowed at a very young age, as she was only 19 when she married Caleb. Lauderdale Marriage records show that Caleb H. McLemore married Mrs. Louisa C. Brown on 8 Nov 1853.
