    Notes 
    • Based on the census records below, several researchers have shown her to be Sarah Alford Fortson, the daughter of Samuel Higginbotham Fortson and his wife Mary Alford. Mary Alford Fortson married second, William McLemore, Sr.

      1850 Federal Census
      Mississippi, Lauderdale County, Southern District
      Enumerated 25 Nov 1850 by Wm. White

      203-212
      Wm McLemore 46 M Farmer $4500 NC
      Mary McLemore 43 F NC
      Amos McLemore 20 M Farmer Miss
      Francis P McLemore 16 F Miss
      William* McLemore 14 M Miss

      Sarah* A Fortson 12 F Miss (stepchild)
      Rowena McLemore 5? F Miss
      John McLemore 7 M Miss

      However this has not been proven. As seen above, Sarah A. Fortson was said to have been born circa 1837-1838 in Mississippi, whereas the widowed Sarah McLemore seems to have been born ca 1830-1831 in Tennessee. Additionally, Sarah Fortson would have given birth to William McLemore at the age of 12 or 13.
