    Notes 
    • Melba Gene McLemore believes he could have been born as early as 1821, and was likely a son of Abner McLemore (b. NC>Lawrence County, Alabama>Marion County, Alabama>Mississippi), based on both his name and on his proximity to Abner's family in Mississippi. Census records seem to put his date of birth later, sometime between 1832 and 1835.

      Melba further speculates, but has not yet proven, that he married Ellcausey CALLAHAN. Two of Ellcausey's siblings married children of Abner McLemore, James Callahan to Lucretia Jane McLemore and Sterling McLemore to Malinda Callahan.

      Could William have instead been the son of Joel McLemore and Robert Renfro of Tennesse? They had a son named William of approximately this same age, born in Tennessee.

      BOTH Abner and Joel, the two likeliest candidates for being the father of this William, were sons of Sterling McLemore and Grandsons of Ephraim McLemore & Hannah (Hudspeth) McLemore.
