Nicole Brooks is interested in any photos or information on the slaves of Sugars McLemore. She is asking because her third great grandmother was one of them and with whom he fathered several children who are her direct ancestors. Her ancestors name was Amanda, and Sugars purchased her sometime around the mid to late 1840s in Memphis and took her to Brownsville. She remained in his household until around 1856 when she was then gifted to his daughter Nancy (Nannie) Dabney McLemore after she married Thomas Cole. If you have any information relating to the slaves held by this family, please contact Nicole at the email address below:

115. Y. A. McLEMORE, white, died March 1912, aged 63 years, Civil Dist. 9, married; born Madison County.

Young married Rachel Perry Dodd on 19 Nov 1879 in Trenton, Gibson County, Tennessee. Rachel was born on 15 Jan 1857 in Gibson County, Tennessee; died on 24 Jul 1940 in Gibson County, Tennessee; was buried in White Rose Cemetery, Gibson, Gibson County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

(Research):Betty Blane Sutton speculates he is the father of her ancestor, George Robert McLemore. She emailed, in February 2012, that George Robert Mclemore was born in 1882 in the South, sometime before 1920 he married Thula (Allie) Willis in OK. They had two children: my mother, Violet Modene Mclemore (April 8 1920 -May 20 1978) and Paul Levithan Mclemore (Sept 17 1924 - Apr 1974) both born in OK. After Thula (1892-1927) died he took the two chldren to Texas where they ended up in a children's home. George returned to OK. In 1946 George ended up in Western State Hospital for 11 years and is buried on there grounds. I have found him in the 1910 and 1920 census, but nothing else.

Notes:

John David McLemore, a descendant of Britain Sanders McLemore, Sr., emailed in July 2010 that he had a clipping of an obituary of James Sugars McLemore. The clipping was not dated, nor did it reference the paper it was from. He indicated that "James Sugars McLemore (who was a PhD in Philosophy and a professor in Latin and Greek at the University of Virginia and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga) --- was born in Jackson, TN in 1883 but it doesn't say when he died--- I'm guessing it was around 1930 though because it says he was survived by his father [who died in 1934] and it lists his last teaching position hire date as 1928."

His dissertation, published by the University of Virginia in 1917, was entitled "The Tradition of the Latin Accent."

It can be found on Google Books:

Notes:

(Research):The Barksdale Fmaily History and genealogy showed that she married William Ashford CLAYPOOL, and they resided in Memphis. No Issue.

Nannie married William Ashford Claypool on 16 Mar 1929 in Shelby County, Tennessee. William was born on 25 Dec 1892 in Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee; died on 27 Jul 1939 in Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee; was buried in Forest Hill Cemetery Midtown, Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The Barksdale Family History and Genealogy website states that she married Andrew George Crouch of Georgia on 12 Jan 1919, and that they were the parents of Andrew George Crouch Jr (b. 1919) and Mary Virginia Crouch (b. 1921).

Bessie married Andrew George Crouch on 12 Jan 1919 in Dyer County, Tennessee. Andrew was born on 2 Apr 1888 in Georgia; died in Dec 1970. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Jeff Loveless shows him as a son of Edward C. McLemore and Ida Manning. Jeff indicated "It looks like Durant's birthday and Edward's [his fathers] wedding were pretty close so I wonder if it might have been a shotgun affair and Durant was sent away to a relative's to avoid a scandal."

However 1880 census shows a Durant McLemore living with an A.M. and Nannie McLemore, and listed as "son." It thereore appears more likely that Durant was instead a son of Dr. Abraham M. and his second wife, Nannie McLemore.

Abraham M. McLemore was not the son of Edward C. McLemore, they were actually second cousins, both descending from Atkins McLemore and Sarah Janes. Dr. Abraham M. McLemore descended from son Abraham and grandson Young, whereas his cousin Edward C. McLemore descended from son Young and grandson Abraham. The similiarity of first names may account for the confusion.

Family/Spouse: Eddie ???. Eddie was born about 1882; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
