1819 - 1883 (63 years)
Generation: 1
1. | Eliza Jane McLemore was born on 6 Dec 1819 in Lincoln County, Tennessee; died on 23 May 1883 in Texas; was buried in Honey Creek Cemetery, Hico, Hamilton County, Texas. Notes:
In Betty Via's book about the Mt. Hermon Baptist Church of Lincoln County, Tennesse, an Eliza Wright, member 1840, joined by letter, June 1844, is listed. Betty notes that this Eliza is believed to be the wife of James Wright.
Douglas Wright shows that after James died, she married second, around 1860, Jack Thompson (1815-1870). Melba Gene McLemore reports that Jack was also said to be buried in Honey Creek Cemetery, but if so his headstone is long gone as it can not be seen in this cemetery.
Melba Gene McLemore provided the following excerpt of a letter from her ancestor, Keton Jones McLemore, that relates to Eliza Jane McLemore Wright Thompson:
Keton's Letter March 1, 1870 (Partial)
:
"If you hear from Thad, don't fail to let me know immediately, --- I rec'd. a letter from your cousin Jack yesterday, he was then at your cousin Eliza Thompsons in Travis Co. & I have just answered his letter, directed my letter to Onion Creek, care of Sterling J. Wright, and if Jack should be at your home, as he spoke something in his letter of coming there, you can inform him of that fast."

He married Dilla SHAW. They were the parents of 14 children. They raised four sons, Wisey Ernest, Buford Earl, Cicero Hazel, and Wayland. Another son, Audry Eugene died at the age of one year. Nine daughters survived and married: Odessa Fanita ATKINSON, Ruth Susie ALLISON, Winnie Mae STARNES, Adeline Magie PUGH, Maggie Lee ALLEN, Opal Joe BELCHER GRIMLAND, Rachel LANGE, Ruby Nell WALKER, and Bobbie Joe HERN.
In 1996, the family celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first K.J. WRIGHT family reunion, from July 5 through July 7 in Breckenridge at the Pugh Ranch. At that time, there were 326 direct descendants of Keaton and Dilla. The first family reunion was held at the Wright home in Rochester, Haskell County, when their son, Cicero was coming home from the service in 1946.

She had attended college and was an educated and articulate woman, becoming postmaster in Carlton, Texas.
She was very independent and active throughout her life, walking six blocks to and from the grocery store to do her weekly shopping well into her 90's. Her doctor eventually insisted she take a cab.
Melba also remembers her as a wonderful cook.

33. | Bertha B. "Bertie" Herrington (7.Perlina2, 1.Eliza1) was born on 27 Sep 1884 in Hamilton County, Texas. Notes:
Melba Gene McLemore had two seperate daughters, with similar names and birthdates, listed: Bertha Bates Herrington, born 29 Jan 1884 and Bertha Bea Herrington, born 27 Sept 1884. This would leave only nine months between their births.
The 1900 Erath County has only one daughter around this age and with a similar name, "Bertie B. Herrington Dtr W F Sept 1883 16 S Tx Miss Tx." As the census further notes that Perlina was the mother of 7 total children, all still living, it appears that there was only one Bertha/Bertie B. Herrington.
Based on the above census information, it is assumed that the September month of birth shown by Melba is more likely to be accurate than the January birth month.
She was said to have married Robert N. GILLEY on 6 Jun 1909 in Erath County, and be the mother of Ruth GILLEY. Beth Herrington has her as the mother of eight children in total.
Her dates of death vary as well (shown as 12 Mar 1952, 25 Sept 1957 and 27 Sept 1957). She is said to be buried in Sunger Cemetery, Denton County, Texas.

35. | John Wesley Herrington (7.Perlina2, 1.Eliza1) was born on 15 Jul 1889 in Carlton, Hamilton County, Texas; died on 23 Jun 1966 in Bald Knob, White County, Arkansas. Notes:
Date of birth shown by Ray Coldeway as 15 Jun 1887 instead of in 1889. Census records indidate that 1889 is more likely.
Ray also shows a third child, daughter Desma Loreda, born 12 Feb 1911 in Hamilton County, Texas. She is not listed with the family on the 1930 census...presumably either married or died by 1930.

Father of Douglas G. WRIGHT, whose obituary follows:
MISSOULA - Douglas G. Wright, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, passed away peacefully from complications of leukemia, on Wednesday, Nov. 3, 2010, with his loving family by his side.
Doug began his life in Lubbock, Texas, on March 24, 1943, born to Clarence and Billie Wright. He was one of five children who grew up in Vancouver, Wash. He has made Missoula his home since 1963.
He lived life to the fullest with his loving wife Phyllis, creating a lifetime of memo-ries during their years together. They shared a special companionship, enjoying many of the same passions, some of which were antiquing, rock hounding and, of course, Doug's favorite, Steelhead fishing. They were never at a loss for things to talk about.
Doug will always be remembered for his passion for life, love of people and his incredible walk with the Lord.
Doug's legacy includes his soul mate, Phyllis Wright; son Curtis Wright; daughters, Cari Thrapp, Corin Schneider, Trena Gauci (Michael), Ronlyn Howe (Scott), Morgan Barndt (Jim), and Lynette Kerpon(Dave); sisters, Eva Schram, Shirley Gilbert, and Dot Warner (Jim); as well as 12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
A celebration of his life will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13, at the Christian Life Center in Missoula, with a refreshment reception to immediately follow.

Obituary, as copied from FindAGrave:

Burial will follow at Floral Haven Memorial Gardens, Broken Arrow. Visitation will be held at the funeral home Sun. 1-6 p.m.
Joada passed away Wed., Oct. 17, 2012, at her home at the age of 80.
The daughter of Robert and Myrtle Marsh was born July 5, 1932, in a small house in Pea Green, CO.
She grew up in that farm house through the seventh grade. They sold the farm and moved to Delta, CO, at the start of her 8th grade year and by God's grace she was able to attend Campion Academy throughout high school. These were hallmark years for Joada. She remained in close contact with many friends from there until the day she went to sleep. Every year she strived to attend Alumni weekend at Campion and looked forward to those trips.
After high school graduation, Joada attended Union College in Lincoln, NE. It was here that she became acquainted with and eventually married Darrell Beyer. After Darrell graduated in 1953, they relocated to South Dakota for a short time before being called to Ketchum, OK, where they would teach in the Adventist School System. Joada and Darrell were soon blessed with two healthy, BIG, baby boys: Douglas Eric Beyer and Allan Robert Beyer.
Joada was a woman of many talents! Besides being a devoted wife, mother, and teacher, she took a cosmetology class and became a hairdresser. She worked out of her home as a hairdresser for many years. Eventually she went on to complete her education and received her Masters Degree from the University of Tulsa. Unfortunately, she and Darrell were divorced in 1970.
In 1973, Joada remarried Dennis McGehee and inherited two more BIG boys: Dennis James McGehee and Randall Wayne McGehee. She and Dennis were married for 18 years until he passed away from cancer in 1992.
In September 1992, Julius Korgan swept her off her feet! Joada and Julius had been friends for a long time already. In fact, at one time, Julius was her teacher. Joada happily embraced an additional four adult children: Dwight Korgan and his wife, Christy, Allen Korgan, Heather Korgan and her husband, Mike, and Barbara and her husband, Richard Olt.
Joada has been a loving mother and grandmother to not only her biological children and grandchildren, but also to her extended family.
Joada was very active in the Claremore Seventh Day Adventist Church. In her own words, her "greatest desire is that ALL of us be in Heaven when Jesus comes back to take us home." In her last days, she said, "Each one of you means more to me than you can even imagine. I could write pages about what love I have for you, but hopefully I have shared enough of that love so that you all know how precious you are to me. Should I go before any of you, just carry that love in your hearts and minds and make a promise to meet me in Heaven."
Joada is survived by her husband, Julius; sons and wives: Doug and Bernice and Al and Sharon; grandchildren: Shannon, Ron and Trever Lepp, Andy, Tyler, and Aurora Beyer, and Ericca and Arin Beyer; and sisters-in-law: Margaret Marsh and Faye Marsh. She also has many step-children and grandchildren that she loved very dearly.
