Eliza Elizabeth Parker

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.
