    Notes 
    • Melba Gene McLemore thinks his middle name is Harrison, but this is not proven.

      Julia Molitz has church records relating to the Benjamin Wright family that she shared with Melba Gene McLemore. They are from the book "Mt. Hermon Baptist Church, Lincoln County, Tennessee" by Betty Via. These records show that Benjamin Wright was an 1833 constituting member; on 1840 membership list; joined by letter June, 1844; delegate to the association in 1844-1845, 1858-1849, and in 1851, on 1852 and 1859 membership lists; granted letter, August 1859. The book notes that Benjamin Wright was born about 1795 and married his wife, Hannah before 1816, and that they lived in Lincoln (now Moore) County, Tennessee.
