  Father	Lofton Hayes McLemore,   b. 10 Mar 1844, Sampson County, North Carolina d. 3 Oct 1906, Sampson County, North Carolina (Age 62 years)
  Mother	Elizabeth Ann Bullard,   b. 12 Feb 1843, Roseboro, Sampson County, North Carolina d. 15 Apr 1875, North Carolina (Age 32 years)
  Marriage	18 Sep 1866	Sampson County, North Carolina   [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.
