Nancy Belle King

Notes:

"Grandmother, Nancy Belle King, became Mrs. Henry Toliver McLemore. Grandmother's sisters, Lucy and Dora King, became Lucy Woodward and Dora Henderson. Their mother was Henrietta King. (So John King had two wives: Jane Bratton and Henrietta ??? her maiden surname unknown. Lucy and Dora King are half sisters to Nancy Belle King. Assume one wife died, thus the remarriage.)"
