Irenia Iris McLemore

Notes:

Melba Gene McLemore quotes Luke Tyler as telling her that "Anderson was killed cutting the top of an Oil & Gas barrel, which exploded." Luke's wife was the granddaughter of W.H. "Will" HANNAFORD, brother of Lula Ann Hannaford McLemore. Luke also informed Melba that Dudley Davis of Reid, Mississippi had a box of material about this family that came to him from the home of the late Iris McLemore.

Additionally, a Moses McLamore, age 42 and born in Georgia, was living near Sterling in 1870 (Mississippi, Chickasaw, Twp 15, Sparta P.O., Page 36). His relationship is not known either. His household was made up of himself, wife Ellen B age 31, Miss, and children Charles, 19, William, 17, John, 15 or 13, and Elizabeth, 10. All the children were born in Mississippi.

Sterling married Malinda Callahan. Malinda (daughter of Miles T. Callahan and Dicey White) was born between 1827 and 1830 in Tennessee; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Melba Gene McLemore speculates that Sterling's wife is the same Malinda Callahan that lived only several households away from him at the time of the 1850 Marion County, Alabama census. This appears to be based on both her relatively uncommon first name, along with her age and birthplace, plus the fact that Sterling's sister, Lucretia Jane married Malinda Callahan's brother, James Callahan. This has not been proven.

Notes:

Melba Gene McLemore cites the following reference to Abner from "Orphan's Court, January Term, 1829: Friday morning, nine o'clock Court met pursuant to adjournment. Notice having been given for forty days as required by a former order of this Court, John GREGG Sheriff of said County adminstrator de bones non of all and singular goods and chattels rights and credits which were of William ALSUP deceased at the time of his death presents the following statement as final settlement of the administratin of said goods:

11 paid Abner McLEMORE $66.50
Interest thereon for four years $21

Melba Gene McLemore writes that he died between 1860 and 1870 in Lawrence County, Alabama. Did he return to Lawrence? As of the 1860 census it appears he was living in Mississippi.
