McLemore, Green marr. Keyhill, Sarah O. on 23 Feb 1869

Melba Gene McLemore found the following article in the Nashville Union and American, dated Saturday, April 25, 1874, Column 2, "All Over The City," the fourth paragraph "Green McLemore, arrested on the charge of bigamy, was discharged by Justice Cassetty yesterday for the want of prosecution." This was about five years after their marriage.

This charges does not appear to have led to their divorce, as they appeared together on the 1880 census.

Additionally, as the article was published in Nashville, and since Green and Sarah were residents of Knoxville, this may relate to another Green McLemore.

The Knoxville Weekley Whig and Chronicle: Wednesday, November 10, 1875 Reported the following real estate transfer registered in the office of the County Clerk for the week ending November 6: "Greene McLemore and wife to Thos. Cooper, trustee, lot."

1. Albert McLemore was born about 1870 in Knox County, Tennessee; and died.
2. Charles "Charley" McLemore was born about 1872 in Knox County, Tennessee; died on 8 Jun 1911 in Park City, Knox County, Tennessee.
