Edith McLemore

Notes:

At the time of the 1860 census, Edith and Samuel lived in close proximity to her father's family, as wall as to her sister and brother-in-law, Louanna and Daniel Carter.

It appears she died prior to 1868, because in census enumerations after 1860, her husband was listed with a woman named Millie as his wife. Futhermore, according to the 1900 census, he and Millie had been married for 32 years, which means they would have married circa 1868. Furthermore, Millie was shown as the mother of 9 children total, eight of them still living. However, a total of 12 children were listed with the family in the census reports from 1860 through 1900. Therefore, Edith was the mother of AT least the first three children, Rachel, Raiford and Amos. Incidentally, all three of them were named after her siblings. She was most likely also the mother of Caladonia, born in 1867. Millie would have been the mother of the remaining 8 children listed.

Edith married Samuel Simmons before 1860 in North Carolina. Samuel was born about 1838 in North Carolina; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
