Isabella Ann ???

Notes:

Most McLemore researchers show her as ROBERSON or ROBERTSON.

Carol Carvalho (carvaca1@yahoo.com) writes that she is not sure that Richard McLemore's 3rd wife was born Isabella Ann Roberson, however. After doing some research, she believes she is really Isabella Ann HAWKINS who was married first to a Roberson/Robinson. Her parent were John S. and Cassa Hawkins (her family line).

One of the reasons that Carol believes this is because she is listed in the 1880 US Population Census, Lauderdale Co., MS, p. 2B (p. 43B), ED 91, En. Date: 6/5/1880. T9-653 with the following information:

McLemore, Isabella..W..F..52..wife..Keeping house..AL..KY..GA.." (b. ~ 1828).

Carol knows the following: John S. Hawkins was born in KY and his wife Cassa was born in GA. She knows that Isabella is their daughter and was born in AL somewhere between 1826 and 1832. She married 1st a Benjamin Robertson/Roberson/ Robinson on Feb. 2, 1868.


Please email Melinda McLemore Strong (strong@texas.net) and./or Carol Carvalho (carvaca1@yahoo.com) if you have additional information that can either prove or disprove this.
