John married Nancy Ann Kirby on 4 Mar 1855 in Rockcastle County, Kentucky. Nancy was born about 1836 in Kentucky; died after 1910 in Rockcastle County, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Paul Williams notes that "Nancy Ann is daughter of Thomas Kirby [also of Rockcastle Co.] please note the surname Kirby is [sic] Curby in some of earlier census records." He later added that Nancy's mother was Elizabeth Ecton/Acton.

Paul showed her as born ca 1836 in Kentucky. The 1900 census shows her instead as born in May 1840, also in Kentucky.

She was living with her son Thomas G. McLemore and his family at the time of the 1910 Rockcastle, Kentucky census. She was listed as age 73, widowed, the mother of 8 children all still living, and born in Kentucky to parents also born in Kentucky.

Notes:

Married:
Paul Williams writes that "John D. & Nancy Ann [Kirby] McLemore ---appear {as you have} in 18880 census, and they also are mentioned in a land transaction in Rockcastle Co., KY dated 1883: hence, their death after 1883?"
