    Notes 
    • Rosa McLemore wrote that her father first wife was "Isabell Harrison" the daughter of a wealthy plantation owner in Virginia. She was probably assuming her name was Isabella based on the middle name of Keton's daughter Rebecca, apparently named for her mother.

      She was actually the daughter of Solomon J. HARRELSON. It is believed that she died in childbirth, along with her eighth child, around 1853, probably in Jefferson County Texas. When son Felix Harrelson McLemore applied for an insurance policy, he listed his mother's cause of death as dysentery, after an illness of six weeks.
