A Transcription of the Rachel Dodd McLemore Bible, originally owned by Mrs. Rachel P. (Dodd) McLemore, Route 3, Humboldt, Tenn., is now in possession of her granddaughter, Fairy Bell (McLemore) Edwards, Canyon Lake, Tex., who has contributed a copy of the records to TGS.
Mrs. Edwards writes that when she was given the Bible in 1990 she was looking through it one page at a time wondering if there might be something in it. "When I got to Chapter V of the book of
Deuteronomy, I found a picture of my grandfather tucked into the binding. My grandparents had separated in about 1902 when my father was about eight years old. They never divorced. He died in
March 1912 of Bright's disease."

Notes:

Could he have been married more than once? On the 1850 federal census, there is a significant gap in age between Abram M., 13, and Sugars, 6. Also, a 10 year old John M. McLemore is listed at the end of the list of children, the rest being shown in chronological order.
