Notes:

Paul Williams writes that:

Gibson Co., IN Death Record Bk H Pg 64 for William F. McLemore

1) Born 23 Dec 1850 KY
2) Spouses name Amanda
3) age 89 years 1 month 18 days
4) Fathers name: John
5) Mothers name: Sarah Jane Kirby -- this is puzzle, Paul speculates the
informant had his sisters name on her mind as, Sarah had died about 7
years earlier or just didn't know
6) Date of death: not shown -- another puzzle as what the death record does
show is buried 11 Feb 1940 !!

As Williams parents were married in March, 1855, it appears he was actually born nine months later, in December, 1855 vs. five years prior to their marriage.

John married Nancy Ann Kirby on 4 Mar 1855 in Rockcastle County, Kentucky. Nancy was born about 1836 in Kentucky; died after 1910 in Rockcastle County, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Paul Williams notes that "Nancy Ann is daughter of Thomas Kirby [also of Rockcastle Co.] please note the surname Kirby is [sic] Curby in some of earlier census records." He later added that Nancy's mother was Elizabeth Ecton/Acton.

Paul showed her as born ca 1836 in Kentucky. The 1900 census shows her instead as born in May 1840, also in Kentucky.

She was living with her son Thomas G. McLemore and his family at the time of the 1910 Rockcastle, Kentucky census. She was listed as age 73, widowed, the mother of 8 children all still living, and born in Kentucky to parents also born in Kentucky.

Notes:

Married:
Paul Williams writes that "John D. & Nancy Ann [Kirby] McLemore ---appear {as you have} in 18880 census, and they also are mentioned in a land transaction in Rockcastle Co., KY dated 1883: hence, their death after 1883?"

Notes:

Said to be the son of James Tyree and Mary Elizabeth Hall.

Paul Williams provided the following information regarding the Civil War service of William Tyree, who was in the Union Army:

TENNESSEANS IN THE CIVIL WAR; (USA) TYREY, William: Blacksmith, Co K, 8th TN Cav

Service records from National Archives shows William Tyrey enrolled in the 8th Cav, Co K, as a blacksmith on 20 Sept 1863 in Hancock County, Tennessee for a period of 3 years. He mustered in 27 October 1863 in Knoxville, Tennessee. The only other item in the file is one card. Remarks say that he had bounty due of $25 plus premium of $2 and this was never paid.

Per "Crawford County, Indiana Civil War Veterans" (D.B.Leistner,2005)
1886 Residence Sterling - William Tyree - subject states that he was a Pvt. in the 8th Reg, Co. K, Tennessee Vol

Paul also has in his files a copy of the original documentation - individual #467 [sic] Tyrey, William which confirms his address, other information suffered from lung disease, camp diahrrea,
Knoxville, TN with a date of Dec 1864 (??)

Paul Williams also provided this copy of William Tyree's obituary:
