Elizabeth S. Marr

Notes:

Might she be connected to the Perkins family? Her middle son was named Price Perkins McLemore.

Additionally, in the book "Laurus Crawfurdiana, Memorials of That Branch of the Crawford Family which comprises The Descendants of John Crawford of Virginia 1660-1883 With Notices of Allied Family", (Privately Printed, New York, 1883, p 107), it is noted that Nancy G. Perkins---an older sister to the Leah Prior Perkins that married Robert McLemore as his second wife--married Wm. Marr, his (sic) cousin, son of Jno. and Susanna Marr.

Finally, an unsourced "Historical Person Search result" for Elizabeth Marr, wife of John Dabney McLemore, shows her as a daughter of William Miller MARR and Nancy Green PERKINS.

Elizabeth married John Dabney McLemore before 1838. John (son of Robert M. McLemore and Margaret S. "Peggy" Dabney) was born on 3 Aug 1813 in Tennessee; died on 28 Jun 1880 in Mississippi. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

The following biography is courtesy of Melba Gene McLemore, from a book titled "Mississippi" by Dunbar Rowland, pages 202 and 203:

R. S. McLemore, M. D., who for a number of years past lived retired in the attractive little city of Greenwood, Leflore county, was long known as one of the able and successful physicians of his native State, while he was a representative of one of the honored pioneer families of Mississippi, which it was his to represent as a Confederate soldier during the Civil War. Dr. McLemore was born in Alabama Aug. 28, 1837, and is a son of Col. John and Elizabeth (Marr) McLemore, native respectively of Tennessee and Alabama and both of sterling Scottish ancestry. They passed the greater portion of their lives on Carroll county, Miss., where the father was an extensive planter and a citizen of wealth and influence. Dr. McLemore completed his more purely academic education in the University of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill, being there graduated as a member of the class of 1857, with a degree of Bachelor of Arts. At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in Company A, First Mississippi cavalry, and did yeoman service in the Confederate cause during the entire course of the war, while from 1862 to 1865 inclusive, he was principally engaged in scouting duty. After the close of the war he entered the New Orleans medical college, being there graduated, with a degree of Doctor of Medicine, in 1872, while he later took special post-graduate work in the city of Atlanta. The doctor first came to Greenwood as early as 47 and since the war made his home in the delta district of the Yazoo river with the exceptin of a period of about three years. He began the practice of his profession in Minter City, Leflore county, and floowed the work of the active physician and surgeon until 1900, when he retired, giving his supervision to his various capitalistic interests until his death with occurred on Nov. 26, 1905, while he had a most attractive residence property in the city of Greenwood. At one time he owned more than 2,000 actres of land in this section, but sold all except a fine plantation of 300 acres. The doctor traveled extensively and passed considerable time in Texas where he met with distinctive success in various business operations to which he turned his attention. Dr. McLemore was ever a staunch supporter of the cause of the Democratic party, but never sought the honors of public office of any description. In 1858 was solemnized the marriage of Dr. McLemore to Miss Marian E. Gibson, daughter of Col. I. S. and Mary (Geren) Gibson, who came to Mississippi from North Carolina, the father having been a prosperous planter and merchant. Dr. and Mrs. McLemore became the parents of six children, of whom only two are living.
