Bruce Howard disputes the conclusion of the former editor of the Pace Society Bulletin that Amy Pace was the daughter of Thomas and Amy Pace of Northhampton County, North Carolina. He believes that the editor had failed to take into consideration certain critical evidence which would have disproved her assumption at once had she looked closely. First of all was the time sequence. Solomon and Amy were married in September of the year 1764 in Edgecombe County and Thomas Pace of Northhampton did not die until about January of 1765. His will was filed for probate at February Court, 1765, in Northhampton County where the family physically resided, and he had time to change that will if he disapproved of her actions. But that is not the important feature. Secondly, was the law. By law all marriages had to take place in the county residence of the female. (Laws of North Carolina, 1741). There was a very compelling and strong reason for this law...to protect the girl and ultimately her family from unscrupulous men....it did not prevent her from marrying the man of her choice; it simply exposed him to her family and relatives in the community where she lived. Had Solomon Strickland lured the daughter of Thomas of Northhampton, away from family to western Edgecombe to marry her away from the family, there would have been objections coming from her mother, and possibly others, to the sheriff. Also, remember that Solomon applied for a license, or bond, for marriage, legally, at the courthouse before the marriage took place. Does it make sense that he would follow the law on one hand and break it on another? (pps 136-137).
Jane Strickland Shelton, Ed.D., also presented a paper agreeing with Bruce Howard's thesis at the Pace Society Annual Meeting, Williamsburg, VA on June 17, 2000. He paper was printed in the Pace Society of America quarterly bulletin, No. 132, published in June 2000.
Her Find A Grave memorial page shows she was buried at the Lystra Primative Baptist Church Cemetery in Comer, Madison County, Georgia.
In the book OUR COLONIAL ANCESTORS 1619-1799, Bruce Howard makes the case for Elizabeth Walpole as being the daughter of George and Sarah Pace. He adds that although he has no hard proof to back that up, there are very strong connections between the two families, and that Caesar and Elizabeth resided on a plantation very close to that of Richard Pace and Richard Baker.
Per Mortality Schedule for 1850 Sabine County, "Elizabeth Causey, age 28, married, female, born in Mississippi, died August 1849 of congestion, sick 1 day."
In Howard's COLONIAL ANCESTORS, he notes that "On the 1st day of September in the year 1628, almost two years after the remarriage of his mother, a Royal Patent was issued in the name of George Pace. There is no doubt about it, this young man was only in his 19th year of age at the time this patent was issued and under English Common Law as the oldest son of his father he was entitled to all of the landed estate but no all of the personal estate. He was only entitled to an equal share in the personal estate with any siblings and his mother, if she survived the husband, was entitled to a one third share. " The author assumes that George was an only child, drawn from the fact that the early records do not disclose a single clue which would lead us to believe there were any other children; it cannot be proven or disproven.
Contrary to many Pace researcher's in the past, Mr. Howard does not believe that George married Sarah Maycock, nor did he "come into" his lands in Charles City County by marriage or any other means except outright purchase. Mr. Howard points out the Sarah Maycock was only 11 at the age of her supposed marriage, and would have been only 13 at the time of birth of Richard Pace, George's son. Additionally, there is no record of Sarah Maycock ever living on the southern side of the River, near Pace's Paines. Mr Howard believes that Sara Snowe is a more likely prospect. He believes Sarah Snowe was under the guardianship of William Perry (Pace's stepfather) and was probably brought to Chapman Plantation at some point.
The primary document that has led many researchers to believe that George's wife was Sarah Maycock was one dated April 25, 1659, when George's oldest son, Richard, confirms a sale of land to Thomas Drewe. Richard stated that "I Ric'd Pace Sonne and heire apparent of mr. George Pace of the Com: of Charles Citty att Mount March in Virginia, and sonn and heire as the first issue of my mother Mrs. Sarah Macocke wife unto my aforesd father (being both dec'd) do hereby by these presents...confirme and allow of the sale of eight or nine hundred acres of land... sold by my dec'd father mr. George pace unto mr. Thomas Drewe." Mr. Howard points out the Richard is telling us that... his mother has a second issue of children, he being of the first issue. He doesn't say the first issue of his father, because his father died before his mother. In the same breathe he says "Mrs. Sarah Macocke." He does not say "my mother known before marriage as Sarah Maycock" or "my mother formerly Sara Maycock daughter of Samuel...."
Moved to Blue Ridge Mountains and then onto Clay County, Kentucky. There George and his wife and 10 of their children can be located on the 1810 census. Before his death, he helped his son Matthew establish the Pace Salt Works, along and on both sides of the (Kentucky) River in which most of the family, from time to time, worked. (Howard, pp 147-149)
Could he be a son of Isaac Franklin PACE and Mariah Ann DAVIS, also of Sabine County? They had a son of approximately this age, listed on the 1850 and 1860 census as J.F. Pace. Maybe an enumeration/transcription error, and this should be I.F. Pace?
Could this actually be the Isaac Franklin Pace (presumably, Jr.) who married Lenora Walker DENT. Her brother, John Turner DENT married Armadilla Amelia PACE, the sister of J.F.
When he was young, James probably lived with his mother and stepfather, or with his eldest brother Richard at the plantation. He left home by about 1687, and moved some 21 miles west of Pace's Paines, where he came in contact with the Lowe family of Bristol Parish. He married Elizabeth Lowe, daughter of Mr. William Lowe. The young family lived in Charles City County, north of the James River, and returned to live south of the river in 1712 when they returned to Prince George County. In 1715, James purchased 100 acres in Westopher Parish, Prince George County, from William Epes, which had formerly belonged to Caesar Walpool.
In the northern part of Brunswik was the parish of St. Andrews. Int he vestry book of the parish is a record of a James Pace who served the parish as sexton from October 6, 1732 until October 11, 1735. He was paid for his services in tobacco, the usual form of payment from a church. The parish sexton was the caretaker of the church building and the cemetery, and also charged with the duty of recording all deaths in the parish. This was an occupation usually endowed upon an older man. He was, at this time, about 68 years of age. As before this is the one and only time he is mentioned in the records of the county. Howard does not believe it improbable that James died possessed of no valuable property, such as land or slaves but only household items and any tools of his trade. This would mean there would not be an necessity to make a will, or to administer an estate. Any items still possessed at the time of his death would have been absorbed into the family without going through the legal process. This is why nothing has ever been found concerning him after the year 1735.
James and Elizabeth had four sons that are known, Richard, George, James and Solomon. They may have had daughters also, but nothing has been discovered concerning them, and may never be.

Although he applied for and eventually received a grant for this land he never lived upon it, nor did he keep the land. I am convinced that he sold his interest in this property before the grant was issued. I am further convinced he and Sarah, by the time the grant was issued, had already left the state of North Carolina
It appears they may have moved onto Savannah Georgia, as the Georgia Gazette contains the following listing, Married--In Savahhah, James White Esq., to Mrs. James Pace, widow, on June 3rd 1790
Served in the volunteer army during the War of 1812, as a captain of Mounted Gunmen and was with General Andrew Jackson's Army at the Battle of New Orleans where he was killed charging the enemy (Howard, p 145).
In his book, Bruce Howard writes that John Pace, as a younger son, inherited only personal property from his father's estate and this meant making his own way. His grandfather was a carpenter and his father was a carpenter and planter. The author firmly believed that John was given the tools of his father as his inheritance. Richard had no carpenters tools and did not follow that trade until many years later wehn forced to by necessity. John left Charles City County and was transported by boat to the Eastern Shore--Northhampton County. He went to where there was plenty of work.
In PACE OUR COLONIAL ANCESTORS, the author Bruce Howard makes a case for Richard and Elizabeth having a daughter named Priscilla. He further argues that she is the one who married Jacob Strickland Jr and resided in the same area as did other Pace children near Turkey Creek in Nash County. (p. 146).
In his book, OUR COLONIAL ANCESTORS 1619 TO 1799, Bruce Howard writes that although the exact time that Richard and Isabell came to Jamestown is not recorded, he believes they came in April 1619 with Sir George Yeardly, with around 2000 other settlers. Both Richard and Isabell had purchased shares in the Virginia Company. Richard chose land on high ground above the river on the opposite side from the settlement. This was known as "Tappahama over against James's Cittie" at the time, and later was known as the Surry side. He called his plantation "Pace's Paines." An historical marker near his plantation shows that Richard Pace was immortalized when "on the night before the Indian Massacre of March 22, 1622 an Indian, Chanco, revealed the plot to Pace, who reached Jamestown in time to save the settlers in that vicinity." In a letter George Sands, a witness to these events, wrote to Captain John Smith, he said that "the slaughter (would) had been universal, if God had not put it into the heart of an Indian, who lying in the house of one Pace, was urged by another Indian his brother that lay with him the night before to kill Pace....telling him also how the next day the execution should be finished...(he) reveales it to Pace, that used him as his sonne; and thuse them that escaped was saved by this converted infidell. And though three hundred fortie seven were slaine, yet thousands of ours were by the means of this alone thus preserved...Pace upon this, securing his house, before day rowed to James Towne, and told the Governor of it......"
Months after the great Indian Massacre Pace drew up a petition which reads as follows: "The humble petition of Richard pace humbly showeth, whereas ye petitioner hath enjoyed a plantation of the other side of the water and hath bestowed great cost and charges upon it, building there and cleering of ground, but at length was enforced to leave ye same by ye savage cruelty of ye Indians, yett now purposing, by God's assistance, to fortifie and strengthen ye place with a good company of able men, he doth desire to inhabit there again and by yr leave freely to enjoy his plantation promising to doe all such things as by yr worships' directions he shall either put over or in whatever ye shall please to command him. In tender consideration whereof may it please yr worships to grant him his request and hee shall be bound to pray for yr health and happiness in this worlde and in the worlde to come." This petition was granted in January 1623.
Howard cites Hotten's book THE ORIGINAL LISTS OF PERSONS OF QUALITY as stating that by 1626, Richard was shown as having "planted" 200 acres. Howard also noted that Isabella's second husband, William Perry "was appointed commander at the Plantation of Pace's Paines and Smith's Mount ...his commisssion as commander was renewed by court order on the 7th of March, 1628 and continued from year to year for some time....(Howard believes that) When Richard was alive he was in command of a certain district, or militia beat so to speak, after the Indian raid of 1622. After his death William Perry was made commander of the same district, and the muster ground was at Pace's Paines.
Mr. Howard's outstanding book was published in 1998 in Quitman, Miss by Specialty Publishing and Printing, Box 414.

This document was reproduced in Bruce Howard's COLONIAL ANCESTORS.
Howard goes on the describe the hard economic times they were living in. Richard and Mary left Charles City County and moved to Southwarke Parish where he owned and operated a road tavern, called in Virginia an "Ordinary" for the accomadation of travelers. He moved later to York County, where he probably worked as a carpenter, and then back to the area of James Town. He died sometime prior to February, 1678, before having made a will and leaving some substantial debts unpaid. Mary filed a petition to administer the estate, which she was granted.
The list of the children of Richard and Mary is from a letter written in 1791 by Mrs. Winnifred Acock Lane of Georgia, about her Pace ancestors.
In OUR COLONIAL ANCESTORS, Bruce Howard writes: "I have calculated the year of birth of this son of James and Elizabeth on or about 1690. He grew up and received his education across the river in Charles City. In about the year 1713, when still a young man he came south of the river to either work for others or to purchase his own plantation to work for himself. Although the records are silent, he came to the same area where his grandmother lived, only a little further to the west in the same neighborhood where Mr. John Poythress, Sr and family resided. He and Francis Poythress, Sr entered into a joint land and farming venture. It can not be determined if there was any othe relation between them other than business. It is unclear where he actually resided but it may have been on a piece of land that he had recently purchased.
Prince George Wills & Deeds, p 63 July 12, 1715
....Francis Poythress of the Parish of Westopher, County of Prince George, to Peter Grammer of same parish and county...100 acres in same parish and county, next to Richard Pace, and said Poythress... Wit: E. Goodrich, Wm Hamelin
The land that these two owned adjoined and each had an ownership in the others tract.
At or before this time, Richard had begun to court and married a young lady by the name of Sarah Woodlief, the daughter of Edward and Sarah Woodlief of Nothern Prince George.
In March of 1717, Richard was summoned and sworn to serve on a jury at the courthouse at Merchants Hope, in a civil trial. It was still the law that only male freeholders could serve on a jury.
Bruce Howard writes that "Richard first comes clearly into focus in the year 1759. In this year, he and his younger brother, John, had determined to leave Prince George and move to a new home in North Carolina.
Prince George Co. Wills&Deeds, 1759-1760, p. 190. Dated December 1, 1759. John Pace and Richard Pace of Martins Brandon Parish, Prince George County to William Goodwyn of same, for 30 pounds, land on south west side of Southward Run in Martins Brandon Parish...16 acres more or less..Recorded June 10, 1760. This small tract of joint ownership land had no connection to the lands their father owned during his lifetime, some distance east of this parcel.
Just before these two brother's sold the small tract in Virginia, a deed was registered in Edgecombe County, North Carolina on a small established plantation which would become the homeplace of Richard and Elizabeth and their children.
Edgecombe County Deed Book OO, p 36 Know all men by these presents that on this 21st September 1759..I, Thomas Drake of Edgecombe Co., and Province of North Carolina of the one part and Richard Pace of Brandon Parish in Prince George Co. Virginia of the second...for the sum of 35 pounds in hand paid...sell and convey a 150 acre plantation... on the north side of Fishing Creek and east side of Beaver Dam Swamp...Wit: William Goodwyn, John Pace, Thomas [H] Hart
Howard noted that the use of the reference to Fishing Creek was used incorrectly in the deed and should have been Swift Creek.
In the early part of 1760, Richard and his brother John made their move southward to old Edgecombe. Before they could remove themselves from the county they had to publish their notice of intent to leave. With no objection coming, they were allowed to leave for their new home. Judging from the effects of his estate, he and Elizabeth were very hard working people and conducted their own home manufacturing business. The had a small amount of stock, horses, cattle, hogs, ducks and geese. He was not a planter by any means, but he planted the type of crop that they could use in their business. He planted cotton on a portion of the plantation and the majority of the place would have been devoted to pasturage and a hay field. Howard went on to detail the equipment Richard and Elizabeth had in order to pursue their business of spinning and dying linen, wooling and cotton.
Richard died without a will. However, his estate was not incumbered by any debts. Mrs. Pace qualified as administratix of the estate in May 1769 and her son-in-law, John Jones and his cousin Nathan qualified as her securities on the bond. The estate was put up for sale in August and the items were sold to the highest bidder for current money. The total income to be disbursed came to a little over 200 lbs, which was a goodly amount considering the time and character of the estate. (A complete listing can be found on pages 338-339).
Howard says that the following children have been positively identified as the children of Richard and Elizabeth Pace:
Ann S. Pace, Amy Pace, William Pace, Priscilla Pace (whom he believes married Jacob Strickand, Jr.), George Pace, James Pace, and Richard Pace
Married but the name of his wife is unknown. Can be located on the 1800 and 1810 census in Chatman County, North Carolina. They had several daughters, but no sons. (Howard, p 151)
Bruce Howard believes that "he married in the year 1770, in Edgecombe County, and shortly thereafter purchased a farm in the Southwestern portion of the county near Turkey Creek in what would later become Nash County, next to the farm of his brother in law, Solomon Strickland....in about the year 1788, he and his family left the Turkey Creek farm and moved a few miles to the west into Franklin County where they apparently lived on a rented farm.. (p 141). Howard believe's he is the William with six sons under the age of 16 residing his household on the 1790 census.
In about the year 1794, no doubt in company with others, he moved his family to the State of Georgia and settled in Oglethorp county. He and his family did not remain in Oglethorp but a short time. By 1798 they were residing in the southern portion of Jackson County, as it was then situated. He located, it is my belief, a few miles below his brother-in-law and the other members of the Strickland family. He did not own any land at this time, but farmed and opened a road tavern inthe southern part of the county (pps 142-143). By the year 1804, his son's James, William, Wilson and Drury began buying up land along Shoal Creek. William Jr purchased the same land that his uncle Solomon Strickland had formerly owned....In the year 1805, William and some of his sons were included in the land lottery of that year, but were unsuccessful...by the late fall of the year 1808, William and some of his children had had enough of Georgia. They packed up and left the State, going to a new home in Rutherford County, Tennessee...he sold some land he had received as a result of the 1807 land lottery. His agent was Robert H. Higenbotham, (believed to be) the husband of his niece, Milly Strickland. William and his family remained in Tennessee for the remainder of their lives and there are today still descendants of this family in that state. (p 144).
Additional information about William Pace can be found in: THE BELLOMY/BELLAMY AND PACE FAMILIES AT A PLACE CALLED DOVER Written and Illustrated by William and Martha Bellomy, Copryright 1999, (address given), email billbellamy@home.com
William Pace was born October 10, 1745, and was the son of John Pace and Susanna Hutchins (Hutchings/Houchins) Pace.
MILITARY CAREER OF WILLIAM PACE If you are a descendent of William Pace, you are going to be very proud to have him as your ancestor. He enlisted in the 14th Virginia Regiment commanded by Colonel Lewis on January 23, 1777. Because of his outstanding performance and character, Pace was recommended for assignment to George Washington's Commander-in-Chief's Guard.
Each regiment from Virginia sent four men that were to be interviewed by George Washington himself for the Guard. They were not to appear in uniform as George Washington wanted to see what they looked like in everyday clothes. The candidates had to be between 5 ft. 9" and 5 ft. l0" tall. Additional requirements included neatness of appearance, good character, married, a land-owner, and a sober man with good character. In May of 1777, William Pace was transferred from the 14th Virginia Regiment to the Commander-in-Chief's Guard. William Pace's enlistment was up six weeks after Valley Forge where he spent that terrible winter. However, he reenlisted for the duration of the War. William Pace remained in the army after the Battle of Yorktown in October, 1781, until he was discharged in Newburgh, New York, in November of l783. Although he was furloughed home after the Paris Peace Treaty on June 5th, 1783, he and the other troops would have returned if the British had tried to start the war again. There is much evidence to support the fact that the British were plotting to retake the Colonies.
Several documents from the United States Archives show information through monthly Company Muster Rolls and other documentation. Another good source for this information about William Pace is the 100-year-old book by Carlos E. Godfrey entitled Commander-in-Chief's Guard. William Pace's battles are enumerated in Mr. Godfrey's book, and also on p. 332 of the Casey book. The battles he participated in are as follows:
Morristown, New Jersey, May 6, 1777
Sick in Hospital, June and July, 1777
Battle of Brandywine, September 11, 1777
Battle of Germantown, Pa., October 4, 1777
Battle of Monmouth, New Jersey, June 28, 1778
Reenlisted and furloughed one hundred and ten days, January 18, 1779
Rejoined September 1, 1779
Battle of Connecticut Farms, New Jersey, June 7, 1780
Skirmish of King's Bridge, New York, July 3, 1781
Battle of Yorktown, Virginia, October 19, 1781
Promoted to Sergeant, June 4, 1783
Furloughed Newburgh, New York, June 6, 1783 until the ratification of the definite Treaty of Peace
Discharged November 3, 1783
A biography of George Washington in THE ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA lists the battles of George Washington during the Revolution, and every battle that George Washington was in after William Pace joined the Guard, William Pace was there, also.
Washington's Guards not only guarded George Washington's person and his papers, but they also fought in the battles, many times on the front lines.

Patrick E. Roper and Kay & Nicole Martin (salome@main.com) both show her as the daughter of Abraham PAGE (b. ca 1790 NC and died after 1845 Barnwell County, S. C. and Sarah McLEMORE (born ca 1795 S.C. and Died probably in Copiah County, Mississippi)
At the time of the 1870 Copiah County, Mississippi census, 33 year old Matilda McLemore born in South Carolina, was living in the home of 69 year old Sarah Hendry of North Carolina. Matilda McLemore was listed as the Housekeeper. Also living in the home were 5 year old Sidney McLemore and 13 year old Mary. Both Mary and Sidney were born in Mississippi.
Patrick Roper emailed, on August 16, 2007, that "Charles Luther Willis W.

Nicole Martin also shows that Matilda married second AGB Womack. They had Albert Sidney, but he was raised a McLemore and she also went back to using that name by 1870. AGB Womack left Matilda in Mississippi and went to Louisiana, where he apparently married Sarah Ann Matthew and had four children, and then married Catherine Rollins on 4 May 1882 and had at least five other children.
Alternatively shown by many researchers as a daughter of Matthew McLemore and Anne Bailey.
Matthew McLemore was born possibly in Tennessee and married Anne Bailey in Augusta Georgia. He is noted also in Montgomery County, Georgia as well as Edgefield District, South Carolina. Matthew died in 1820 leaving behind his wife Anne and children Sarah Page, Willis McLemore, John McLemore, Elizabeth McLemore, Anne McLemore, and Joel McLemore. At this point, we have been unable to link Matthew to the McLemore line, but it is suspected he is closely related to Major John McLemore of Richmond District. We are looking closely at the line(s) of McLemores that ended up in Copiah County and surrounding counties in Misssissippi. Suspected brothers include John and Howell who were listed in 1810 census in Barnwell. Another interesting group is James C, John, and Joel who were brothers in which James C wrote a will the day before Matthew's listed death. Although Sarah moved on and we do not have information on Elizabeth and Anne, we know that the children of Willis, John, and Joel could still be found in Barnwell and/or Aiken Counties South Carolina.
Abraham Page and Sarah McLemore of Barnwell District/County, South Carolina were parents of 10 children with known connections to Marion County, Georgia; Copiah County, Mississippi; and Shelby, San Augustine, Sabine, and Nacogdoches Counties in Texas (amongst probably others). Abraham may be the son of Jacob Page and a first wife. Children by Lourania mainly ended up in De Kalb County, Tennessee. There is the family story of Jacob Page being associated with Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island. His son Amos is said to have married Hortence Pohautus. Originally, the story had this as the father of Abraham Page (apparently both the elder and the younger), but timeline does not allow this. Suspected brothers for Abraham include Isaac (no info), Thomas (found one notation), Samuel, and James. Looking also at Marion Co Pages.
Nicole Martin posted the following to the Genforum McLemore Surname board:
I have Reuben as son of John McLemore. Siblings, if correct, are Robert, Wesley,Reuben, Matthew, John, and Dorcus. There may be more sisters. I find John McLemore in Hinds County in 1830 and Rankin County in 1840. I believe he is the John McLemore listed in the 1810 and 1820 census in Barnwell District, SC. I also do not believe this is the son of Major John McLemore. I believe that his brothers (at least) were Howell and Matthew (see 1810 Barnwell Census). One of Matthew's grandsons, Howell W came to Hinds County to marry and then later returned to Barnwell. Later, Matthew's daughter Sarah Page moves to Copiah County. I believe Howell is the one that ended up in Emanuel County, GA.
(Research):This may be Sarah Matilda, with her widowed mother and siblings, at the time of the 1850 Federal Census. Many researchers have her dob as Mar 1837, but the census record below shows she may have been born as early as 1833.

Gwendolyn Jeanne Pankoke was born November 25, 1929 in Walla Walla, Washington and passed away March 20, 2022 in Milligan, NE at the age of 92. Gwen's Mother Lula Nelson died in child birth so her grandparents Carl & Margaret Nelson brought her back to Utica and raised her. Gwen attended Utica Public School through 5th grade. The family then moved to Beaver Crossing where she finished school, graduating with the class of 1949. Gwen went to Oklahoma City to help her Aunt and was a clerk at a store.
On December 10th, 1950 she was joined in marriage to Dean Pankoke. To this union seven children, David, Jerry, Patricia, Michael, Carol, Kenny and Annette were born. After Dean's year of service in Korea, they moved to a farm near Beaver Crossing where they lived and raised their family. In 1996 they moved to Beaver Crossing after Dean lost his eyesight. Later, due to health concerns, they moved to Seward and later to Lincoln. Upon Dean's passing, Gwen moved in with her daughter Carol and her family, returning to the life she loved, being on the farm. This is where she passed away peacefully surrounded by family. She will be sorely missed by all her family and the many friends she has touched with her kindness over the years.
During her life journey she was a member of Salem UMC where she served 2 years as the president of the United Methodist Women, and 1 year on the nominating committee. She was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary, Chamber of Commerce, Kensington Club and later a member of the Beaver Crossing United Methodist Women, volunteering whenever she was needed until her health problems slowed her down.

Copied from "Striffler Family Group" page on Facebook.
Her birth information, as shown in the scan of BIRTHS recorded in the Fullen bible, was as follows:
Catherine Fullen 1849
She also appears to indicate that her father died ca 1868, as the following listing is one of the first listings under BURIALS in her family Bible: Daddy Parker 1868. Later, a listing is shown for Moma Parker 1889 Aged 61 years
Her own burial information, the last listing in the burial section of her bible, was shown as:
Catherine "Momma" Fullen, 1929, 80 years
It appears that she actually died after 1930, as she was living with her daughter and son-in-law, Emily Elizabeth and Vernon BYERLY, at the time of the 1930 census. Her last name was shown as STROYON, so it appears she remarried after the death of of James FULLEN.

A similar obituary was published in the July 3, 2008 San Augustine Tribune
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.
Class of 1947 Members of the class of 1947 attending the (Hemphill High School) reunion included, from left, front; Norman Ener, Alice Procell, Elouise (Armstrong) McLemore, Nan Carol (Harvey) Kirbow, Joyce (Davidson) Winkle and Lillie Faye (Horne) Bennefield; (center): Frances (Woods) Trapp, Kathleen (Harris) White, Ann (Maund) McClain and La Vern (Halbert) Roberts; and back; Paul Beauchamp, Conald Glover, Curtis Killion, Joe Lynn Whittlesey, King Davidson, Millard Jordan, John Parker and J.C.
