Abraham "Abram" Geren McLemore, Sr.

Notes:

Abram appears to have married first, on 6 Sep 1893 in Yalobusha County, Mississippi, Elizabeth Doyle. Could she have been a sister or otherwise related to his second wife, Inda Doyle?

He appears to have either died, or divorced, Inda prior to the 1930 census, when she and son Abraham Geren McLemore Jr can be found in the household of Allen Hobbs of Greenwood City, Mississippi. Inda was listed as Inda Hobbs and had a namesake daughter, five year old Inda Hobbs.
