May have been born either to the wife named A???ine, born in Kentucky, whom Elbert was shown as married to at the time of the 1920 census, or the Clersie, to whom he was shown as married at the time of the 1930 census. It is most likely he was born to Clersie, however, as she was born in Tennessee and his mother was shown as being born in Tennessee.

"Edythe Evelyn McLemore McCoy died in Jasper, Texas on Sunday, November 17th at age 81 years, 1 month and 2 days. A Jasper County native, Mrs. McCoy grew up in Beaumont where she married Tell V. McCoy, Jr. and lived until her retirement from Baptist Hospital, where she was employed as an LVN.
After retirement, Mrs. McCoy became interested in genealogy and proved relationships to various patriots which allowed her membership in The Colonial Dames, The Daughters of the Republic, The Daughters of the War of 1812, The Daughters of the Confederacy, and the Daughters of the Republic of Texas.
She was a member of the First Baptist Church in Jasper, a charter member of Calder Baptist Church of Beaumont and a member of the Eastern Star in Jasper.
She was preceded in death by her parents Frank and Nannie Sims McLemore, five brothers and husband. Mrs. McCoy is survived by her only child, daughter Nan McCoy Kittell, two brothers Terry and Max McLemore seven grandchildren: Holly and Michael Stafford, Charles, Paul, Reagan, Winn and Camille Kittell; two greatgrandsons; Travis and Keith Kittell, many nephews, nieces, cousins and friends.
Interment is at 10:30 am today at Zion Hill cemetery in Jasper where she joins her husband, parents, brothers, both sets of grandparents, one set of great grandparents and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Persons wishing to make a memorial gift in Mrs. McCoy's name are asked to donate to their favorite charity."
In the 1949 obituary of her father, she was listed as "Mrs. Louis Elledge of Tuscumbia." Her mother's obituary, published about eight weeks earlier, instead show her as "Mrs. Louis Elledge, Tuscaloosa."
They appear to have been living with daughter, Jennie, at the time of the 1910 Federal Census, in Kiowa County, Oklahoma. Mark Freeman indicates this was their only child, which matches Martha's response to the 1900 and 1910 census.

Could this be the E. H. McLemore, born May 1870 in Tennessee, and married 9 years, who was working as a Hotel Clerk Ward 2 of Chattanooga at the time of the 1900 Federal census? He was shown as married for 9 years to 30 year old Olivine, born in France, as were her parents. She was shown as emigrating in 1880, and the mother of no children. Nor were any children listed with them in the boarding home where they were residing.
If this is Elbert Henderson McLemore, then Olivine died or they were otherwise separated shortly after the 1900 census (taken 29 Jun 1900), as by April 1910, he was shown as married (second? [maybe third?]) to the Mary Bell Dyer, said to be the widow of John Marcus Kennedy. They were living in Fisher County, Texas, and said to have been married 8 years. Elbert and Bell also had two older children with him, Vola age 14 and Ola C, age 12...who would have been born ca 1896 and 1898. They appear to have been born in Belle during her previous marriage.

Not listed as one of Wright's sons by James McLemore, III or Mark Freeman, but shown as a son of Wright McLemore by Robert McLemore Butler, presumably based on the following deeds and census information. James McLemore, III believes he was another generation down from Wright, a son of William McLemore, born 1734, or a son of Drury, whom he is closely associated with in Bladen County. Jim puts the birth date of Elias ca 1758-59.

When he completed his registration for the draft for World War I, he was shown as a teamster for Fred Simpson in Roseboro, North Carolina. His nearest relative was Maggie McLemore, presumably his mother. His date of birth was shown as May 11, 1900. He was shown as being of medium heighth, slender, with brown eyes and brown hair.
At the time of his Social Security Application, in February, 1956, he was living in Roseboro, N.C. and was a self employed farmer.
He listed his parents as William Oscar McLemore and Margaret Emma Sessoms.
This matches Robert McLemore Butler's information, Sampson County, NC .. Died .. 8 Jan 1986 .. Elisha Anderson McLemore [b. 11 May 1900] ..F: Oscar McLemore M: Maggie Sessoms .. Bk 74 p 243. .. buried at Williams Cemetery, Sampson County, NC
Dolores McKee writes that Elisha was orphaned at a young age, his mother dying in childbirth and his father dying in the Civil War when Elisha was still a toddler. He was raised in the Star City area with the children of his Uncle Sterling, who had also died in the Civil War. Dolores McLemore McKee writes: "Elisha was raised by a black lady. The story is told of his returning to Arkansas in the late 1800's and a black lady standing on the porch waving her apron and shouting that her baby had come home. It is believed that this may have been a lady working for the Heflin family. One of Elisha's sisters had married into the Heflin family and it is reported that they had several slaves. Our aunts, Ida, Maybelle and Rosie, stepchildren of Elisha, were witness to this occasion.
Elisha had left Arkansas earlier. When he reached the age of 18 - 20, he packed his saddle bags and headed for Texas. Whether by chance or by plans he ended up in Rains County Texas. There he married 3 times. His first two wives died very soon after their marriages. The brides were Alice Lowery and Sarah Simpkins. One of these ladies had a son that they named Luther. Elisha turned him over to a Smith family and he was raised there in East Texas. By his 3rd wife, Susan Byrum,he fathered 8 more children, two of whom died as toddlers. He died in 1922 and is buried in Colony Cemetery in Alba, Tx. Susan died in Fresno, CA. in 1947 while visiting her children, all of whom had moved there in the mid 1930s. She is buried in Fresno. All of these brothers and sisters were facing very hard times in East Texas so they headed to the land of Plenty = California. They were able to improve their living conditions greatly. Only the two brothers left California for their native Texas. The rest of the(Elisha) McLemore bunch is scattered to the four corners of the world."

Her date of birth is shown by Ann and Eldon McLemore as Feb 1847, however on the 1850 Scott County, MS census (enumerated in June 1850), she was shown as being 5 months old, so she is more likely to have been born in February 1850.
In Betty Via's book about the Mt. Hermon Baptist Church of Lincoln County, Tennesse, an Eliza Wright, member 1840, joined by letter, June 1844, is listed. Betty notes that this Eliza is believed to be the wife of James Wright.
Douglas Wright shows that after James died, she married second, around 1860, Jack Thompson (1815-1870). Melba Gene McLemore reports that Jack was also said to be buried in Honey Creek Cemetery, but if so his headstone is long gone as it can not be seen in this cemetery.
Melba Gene McLemore provided the following excerpt of a letter from her ancestor, Keton Jones McLemore, that relates to Eliza Jane McLemore Wright Thompson:
Keton's Letter March 1, 1870 (Partial)
:
"If you hear from Thad, don't fail to let me know immediately, --- I rec'd. a letter from your cousin Jack yesterday, he was then at your cousin Eliza Thompsons in Travis Co. & I have just answered his letter, directed my letter to Onion Creek, care of Sterling J. Wright, and if Jack should be at your home, as he spoke something in his letter of coming there, you can inform him of that fast."

Appears to have been living with her brother Young at the time of the 1870 census, in Carroll County, Tennessee. Her husband was not in the household, but three children were. Might they have been hers? The children were Nancy, 14, Elizabeth 12, and Clinton, age 9. No last name is listed, and it is presumed they were McLemore's.
According to her descendants, she was the daughter of a Judge. Southampton County records reflect that John McLemore Jr. was appointed a constable, for St. Luke's Parish (Southampton Order Book 4, p. 168; Book 7, pp. 95, 101); his duties, as such, however, were not quite those of a trial judge, and their description of him as judge is thus probably somewhat inaccurate. (James L. McLemore, III, p. 63).

The Delta Democrat-Times (Greenville, Mississippi), in the November 19, 1937 issue, page 8, ran a notice that Miss Elma McLemore was honored on the occasion of her impending marriage to Mr. C. Edgar Harris.
She appears to have been living with her mother at the time of the 1930 census. Although she was listed as married, no husband was present in the home. She was shown as the mother of Jimie F WALLACE, age 3 years 10 months and Harold H. WALLACE, age 2 years 4 months.
She was also the mother of Dr. Rudy LEVERETT, who did extensive research relating to the McLemore family in general, as well as to the role of Maj. Amos McLemore during the Civil War.

Rosa McLemore Dunkerley writes that Emma died in Boerne, Texas. It would therefore appear she left California sometime after this census to return to Texas. She can not be located on a 1920 census index, so she may have died prior to this.
The McLemore/Maddox tree indicates that she left for Texas as her 1899 marriage. In her father's obituary, she is listed as of Oklahoma City, Ok.

Published in the Decatur Daily on January 13, 2013

A more detailed version of this obituary was in the Athens Alabama News Courier
A private graveside service for immediate family was conducted for Emogene Claire McLemore Barnes, 84, at 4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 12, in Roselawn Cemetery with McConnell Funeral Home directing.
Mrs. Barnes died Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2013, at Madison Manor of Madison.
Emogene Barnes was born Aug 7,1928, in Limestone County to Homer and Alma Bates McLemore. She was a life-long resident of Limestone County and resided in the East Limestone community for approximately 74 years.
She attended East Limestone School and was a member of the graduating class of '46 at Tanner High School. After receiving her teacher's certificate from Florence State Teachers College, she taught school at Tanner and Copeland Schools for several years.
She married Charles R. Barnes in Iuka, Miss., and left the teaching profession after her first child was born to become a stay-at-home Mom and homemaker. In 1961, Mrs. Barnes became a full-time clerk in the Limestone County Tax Assessors Office where she was to later advance to the position of chief clerk for which she served for 20 years.
At the age of 53 she qualified and ran successfully for the position of Limestone County Tax Assessor. She served a term as tax assessor and retired in 1987.
She was as dedicated to Limestone County and its citizens, as she was devoted to her family. She could be called a people person because of her outgoing personality and love of people. Throughout her lifetime she was tagged with several distinct nicknames. However, her favorite nickname (a name shared by many) and the one she answered most frequently and lovingly to was the name her grandchildren and great-grandchildren called her, "Mee Maw." Mrs. Barnes was of the Baptist faith.
Survivors include three daughters, Pam B. Waddell, Kaye B. Higginbotham, Gwen B. Scott, all of Athens; sons, Mark Barnes of Dunedin, Fla., and Gary Barnes of Wetumpka; grandchildren, Nicki W. Johns, Corey Higginbotham, Casey H. Kerby, Shane Hargrave, Joshua Hargrave, Whitney Hargrave, Heidi Barnes, Karrie B. Wheat and Dustin Barnes; 10 great--grandchildren; sister-in law Katherine B. Brock of Athens; a niece; and three nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 54 years, Charles R. Barnes; grandson, Lance Waddell; great-grandson, Morgan Hargrave; and her only sibling, Ila Dean McLemore Tribble.
Pallbearers were grandsons and great-grandsons.
Special thanks to the staff of Madison Manor of Madison for the care they provided and the kindness shown to Mrs. Barnes and her family during her stay there.
Memorials may be made to The Alzheimer's Association, 117-A Longwood Drive S.E., Huntsville, AL 35801, or to your favorite charity.
James L. McLemore, III writes that "It is possibly the younger Ephraim who is listed in 1768 on the Rowan County tax list. Rowan County, NC lies about halfway between Charlotte and Winston-Salem, hence it is in the west-central portion of the state, far from the centers of early McLemore settlement. He is known to have died in 1798, at age 60, in Surry County, North Carolina, which lies northwest of Winston-Salem, along the Virginia line. He probably arrived there by 1781, when he witnessed the will of Joseph MASTERS dated June 14th of that year. Ephraim Macklemore Jr. owed certain monies to the estate of one Robert WALKER in 1784, which remained unpaid as late as 1786, all in Surry County. The first U.S. Census places him in Surry County in 1790, and his will was probated in that county in 1798.
(James L. McLemore, III, pp 47, 48).
James McKinney shows an earlier arrival date to Surry County than James L. McLemore does. Mr. McKinney states that Ephraim was on the 1775 Surry County, NC Tax List. He also noted that in 1778 he entered 570 acres of land on the county line on a small branch of Hunters Creek, being the land "he now lives on."
James L. McLemore indicates that "In his will, he names his wife Hannah (who was left the use of all of his property while she remained a widow), sons Sterling, Wright, William, John, and Gilliam, and daughters Martha JONES, Kersey CONNA, Hannah McLemore, Rebecca McLemore, Fanny McLemore, and Sally McLemore. One of his executors was a Nicholas MASTERS; recalling that Ephraim Jr witnessed the will of Joseph MASTERS in 1781, it is possible that we have here a connection between the Masters family and Ephraim Jr."
Dr. Leverett also notes that Ephraim was listed in Captain Jeffrey's Company in 1754 of the Granville Co Militia (Colonial Granville Co and its People, Worth Ray). Vol. 22, p. 370-380 N.C. State Records: Ephraim McLemore Private in Captain Osborne Jeffrey's Company, Co. C. William Eaten's Regt, Granville Co., N.C, Oct 8, 1754. James McKinney instead shows that he served as a Private in the Reg. of Col. William Eaton of Granville Couny.
The 1790 Surry Co NC census shows 1 white male 16+, 3 white males 16-; and 5 females. The 1810 N.C. census shows an E. McLemore in Bladen Co. (Source: Dr. Rudy Leverett note card on Ephraim McLemore).
More information about this family can also be found in the Collections of Dubie Hudspeth:
1Rev. William P. McLemore, in a section on his website devoted to notable McLemore's (Website: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/3476/mclem1.htm), has the following biography:
Ephraim Hester McLemore was born December 20, 1903 on the farm of his father, Tilghman Richard McLemore, west of Meadville, Mississippi. When he graduated from High School, he received an appointment to the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York. He graduated on June 9, 1928 and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Field Artillery. "Mac", as he was known by his army friends, soon arrived in the San Antonio area serving with the Field Artillery School at Fort Sam Houston. Here, he met Edith Adeline "Peggy" Pearman and they married November 10, 1931. June 1, 1937, Mac and Peggy moved to West Point, New York, where he became an Instructor in Mathematics at the United States Military Academy. It was here that their three children were born: William Pearman, Ann Schindler, and Tilghman Richard, October 21, 1940. During World War II, McLemore fought in the Pacific as an artillery officer for which he received several commendations including the Bronze Star Award. In July of 1948, he became the Assistant G-4 for the United States Armed Forces in Japan under General Douglas MacArthur. His military career ended with a medical retirement at Fort Monroe, Virginia, in 1955. His first wife had died and he remarried a Betty Sue Lindsay. After years of retirement in Front Royal, Virginia, he died November 19, 1973 and was buried in Arlington Cemetery.
