Her maiden name was instead shown as Newbourn on the website "Early Families of Southern Van Zandt and Northern Henderson Counties" posted by Betty Miller and Betty Phillips. They transcribed from Volume I and Volume II of Families of Northern Henderson and Southern Van Zandt Counties by the Rev. John B. Trent, books that were owned by Lavona Blackwell.

Notes:

Dr. Paul McLemore emailed, in March 2010, that "My fathers grandfather is William Kearney McLemore b 1825 d 1889 this is on the tombstone Holley Springs Cem, Van Zandt Co., Texas, He came from Shreveport, Louisiana to Van Zandt county"

The 1880 census shows that W. K. McLemore was born in North Carolina. John Simpson McLemore, buried near him in the Holly Springs Cemetery in Van Zandt county, instead reports his fathers place of birth as Mississippi in 1880 and as Tennessee in 1900. And J. M. McLemore, who is likely son James Madison McLemore, reports in 1880 that his father was born in Indian Territory, but later reports North Carolina.

Peggy Stewart Gore also shows William Kearney McLemore as being born in Tennessee.

(Medical):A direct male descendant, still bearing the McLemore surname, participated in the Morrison yDNA study. He was predicted to be in the I1 haplogroup, the most common group in Scandanavia. However, he does not currently have any matches among the other 15 members with the McLemore surname in the study. It is possible that there were several founding McLemore lines, instead of just one as has been long assumed. Or another possibility could be that undisclosed adoptions have occurred through the generations of descendants of both James and/or Abraham.

William married Rebecca Ann Gore on 17 Mar 1854 in Attala County, Mississippi. Rebecca was born about 1839 in Barbour County, Alabama; died about 1875 in Van Zandt County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Peggy Stewart Gore shows her as a daughter of Simpson James Gore and Harriett Permelia Byram. She also shows that Rebecca was first married to Charles Allen,
