William McLemore

Notes:

Patricia Mills notes that he was married three times, (1) in 1850 to a LOUISINDA, (2) before 1860 to a Surancy, and (3) on 27 April 1871 to Martha Jane Coburn, by D.M. Cowley, Justice of the Peace. On the 1860 and 1870 census, it appears that his wifes name may be some variation of Lourany/Louvany instead of Surancy, and her age is consistent from 1850 through 1870. Perhaps Patricia was mistaken and he was only married twice, to Louisinda/Lourancy and later to Martha Jane COBURN.

A post by Steve Cranford on 20 May 2001 to the Ancestry.com Message Boards>Surnames>McLemore>McLemore Family history cited the Cranford family bible as follows:

"william McLemore b. 4-4-1830 (don't know for sure where but in the south) father of james R. mcLemore b. 9-6-1853"

Notes:

Mary Lynn Santa instead shows him as a son of Wilson McLemore and Rebecca Hughes. No sources are cited.

Posts on Genforum show Wilson as residing in and around Chambers County, Alabama, and indicate his son James W. was born around 1824, not 1830.
