Family/Spouse: Cora Lee Thomas. Cora was born in Dec 1865 in Nebraska; died on 31 Oct 1922 in Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Barksdale family history and genealogy (with collateral lines) shows her as the dau. of Thomas Ernest and Cora Lee (Thomas) Wilson, of Beatrice, Nebraska.

Florence married Britain Sanders McLemore, Jr. on 11 Aug 1917 in Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee. Britain (son of Britain Sanders McLemore, Sr. and Minnie Fry Barksdale) was born on 6 May 1887 in Jackson County, Tennessee; died on 17 Apr 1944 in Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee; was buried in Memorial Park Cemetery, Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

According to an email from John David McLemore, his grandfather, Thomas Barksdale McLemore " ----migrated to New York after graduating from Southwestern University at Memphis and receiving a scholarship for his masters degree at Columbia University in Manhattan. He was in WW2 as a lieutenant of a supply transport ship in the Pacific. When he came home he found work as an accountant at Metro Media, the precursor of Fox TV. My dad says that he was well liked there because he knew about computers, which in the 50s and 60s was an extremely new and intimidating technology. He died of a heart attack at his desk in 1990. He loved the outdoors and was an Adirondack 46er, which means he climbed all 46 of the Adirondack Mountains in upper NY. My dad is also a 46er. One day I'll get around to it too I hope. My dad doesn't really know much about the family history as my grandfather was a very quiet man. I think it runs in the family.

Thomas B. McLemore Married 2 times, but I'm not sure of his first wife's name. His second wife was Barbara June Wilson b. 1918 in Oakland,CA (a distant relation to Edna Wilson).

Family/Spouse: Barbara June Wilson. Barbara was born about 1918 in Oakland, Alameda County, California; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
