2. | Eliza Elizabeth Parker (1.Walden1) was born in Aug 1874 in Mississippi; died about 1929 in Pearl River County, Mississippi; was buried in Juniper Grove Cemetery, Poplarville, Pearl River, Mississippi. Notes:
A direct descendant, Shannon McLemore Abrantes, writes that her great grandmother Eliza died of malaria, as did her great grandfather, William Robert McLemore, though some years later.
1900 Census has Aug 1874 as her date of birth, and this is assumed to likely be the most accurate
Family Search links her parents Walden Lewis Parker and Cynthia Shows.
Find A Grave, shows August 1875 at her date of birth, with no photo shows. It also notes that her husband William Robert McLemore was listed as a widower in the 1930 U. S. Census. His tomb stone lists him as FATHER, so she is probably buried at his side as MOTHER in this cemetery.
At one point, it was thought the Cynthia's mother might be Synthia Anne BARLOW. William's Robert McLemore's sister, Catherine, was married to Wyatt Columbus Barlow.
Eliza married William Robert McLemore on 7 Dec 1893 in Jones, Mississippi. William (son of Joseph McLemore, Sr. and Martha Ann "Patsey" Page) was born on 14 Nov 1869 in Copiah County, Mississippi; died on 10 Feb 1932 in Mississippi; was buried in Juniper Grove Cemetery, Poplarville, Pearl River, Mississippi.

7. | John A. McLemore (2.Eliza2, 1.Walden1) was born on 30 Dec 1904 in Picayune, Pearl River County, Mississippi; died on 27 Sep 1997 in Picayune, Pearl River County, Mississippi; was buried in New Palestine Cemetery, Pearl River County, Mississippi. Notes:
John McLemore completed an application for a Social Security account on November 28, 1936, showing himself as age 32. His address at the time of the application was 338 Palestine Road, Picayune, Mississippi, and his employer was Goodyear Yellow Pine Co.
John reported that he was born December 30, 1903 in Picayune to William Robert McLemore and Liza Parker,both deceased.
His brother, Sim Joseph McLemore was also employed by Goodyear Yellow Pine, and completed an application for a social security account a few days prior to John. Sim listed his date of birth as December 13, 1903. As it would be nearly impossible for Sim and John to be born only 17 days apart, to the same parents, in 1903, it is assumed that John and Sim were actually twins, or that one or the other had the wrong age and year of birth listed on their social security application. John's headstone is engraved with the DOB of 30 December 1904, assumed to be correct.
