2. | William McLemore was born between 1832 and 1835 in Tennessee; and died. Notes:
Melba Gene McLemore believes he could have been born as early as 1821, and was likely a son of Abner McLemore (b. NC>Lawrence County, Alabama>Marion County, Alabama>Mississippi), based on both his name and on his proximity to Abner's family in Mississippi. Census records seem to put his date of birth later, sometime between 1832 and 1835.
Melba further speculates, but has not yet proven, that he married Ellcausey CALLAHAN. Two of Ellcausey's siblings married children of Abner McLemore, James Callahan to Lucretia Jane McLemore and Sterling McLemore to Malinda Callahan.
Could William have instead been the son of Joel McLemore and Robert Renfro of Tennesse? They had a son named William of approximately this same age, born in Tennessee.
BOTH Abner and Joel, the two likeliest candidates for being the father of this William, were sons of Sterling McLemore and Grandsons of Ephraim McLemore & Hannah (Hudspeth) McLemore.

Sterling P. McLemore (born ca 1826), possibly a brother of William's, was also living in Calhoun County, Mississippi at the time of the 1870 census.
William married Ellcausey Callahan. Ellcausey (daughter of Miles T. Callahan and Dicey White) was born between 1847 and 1851 in Alabama; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

3. | Ellcausey Callahan was born between 1847 and 1851 in Alabama (daughter of Miles T. Callahan and Dicey White); and died. Notes:
Melba Gene McLemore speculates that Ellcausey is a Callahan, due to the fact that Sterling and Lucretia Jane, both thought to be siblings of Williams, also married Callahan's...and due to the fact that 84 year old Dessa Callahan (showns as McLemore) is in their home at the time of the 1880 cenus.
IF she is a daughter of Miles and Dica CALLAHAN, however, why does she not appear to be listed with them at the time of the 1850 Marion, Alabama census?
