      He was listed in the 1915-1916 Fayetteville NC City Directory as Edward C. McLEMORE, Agent, Life Insurance Co. of Virginia Res. 907 Person Street Wife: Lena

    Marriage 18 Sep 1866  Sampson County, North Carolina Find all individuals with events at this location  [5
    • On 18 Sept 1866, L.H. McLemore married Elizabeth BULLARD Parker. She was the daughter of James BULLARD and widow of George PARKER.

      Diane McLemore Harrision, a descendant, shows Elizabeth with a date of death of April 15, 1875, and Lofton remarried and went on to have four more children with his second wife.

      Some researchers have speculated that Lofton and Elizabeth divorced, as Elizabeth Bullard McLemore is said to be mentioned by name in the 1883 Will of her father, James Bullard. This is likely jsut a transcription error, as differing groups of descendants of Lofton and Elizabeth all have her date of death as circa 1875.
