    Notes 
    • Rosa McLemore noted that "Anna Dunn-San Antonio, Tex." was Wright's second wife, and that they had no children. From an interview later done with Wrights brother Felix by the Globe Democrat, St. Louis, Missouri, we learn Wright's wife (Anna) was a school teacher. Melba notes that Anna had been previosly married, and was the mother of Willie Dunn.

      Melba posted to the McLemores and their Heritage group on facebook, on December 26, 2021, that:

      Descendants of Keton Jones McLemore..I have found the maiden name of Wright K. McLemore's 2nd wife, Mrs. Anna M. Dunn. She was born Anna M Pearson , circa 1844 in Chambers Co., Alabama. Daughter of Samuel Pearson and Martha Monk. She married John W. Dunn Feb 16, 1866 in Butler Co., Alabama. Her father was a Probate Judge for Chambers Co., Alabama and was killed in the Civil War around Jan 21, 1863. Her mother died of consumption May 1870, Her sister Rebecca C, Pearson married in Nov of 1866 to Lewis Larkin Penn Ragsdale. Both sisters headed to Texas by 1870. Anna and her son Willie are enumerated in the 1880 Federal Census in the household of her sister Rebecca and husband Larkin Ragsdale. 15 years ago I went through the entire 1880 census of San Antonio looking for Anna. I found this census and it turns out tho the enumerator spelled the surname Reisfell instead of Ragsdale. "Anna Dun"was the only music teacher in the 1880 in San Antonio Tx census that remotely matched so I held onto that enumeration for the last 15 years....so all you researchers HELP
      Where did she go after 1883? She was only 39 when our Wright McLemore was lynched on Christmas Eve 1883, so she probably remarried. I worked the Ragsdale line and the 1880 Risefell census is them, the enumerator just spelled their name the way it sounded to him.... Felix told us she was a teacher, who taught music, highly educated woman. She and her sister Rebecca are both enumerated as teachers. She has an aunt who taught music. And she matches the info in Rosa's papers, that cousin Lynn Murchison held onto in a bottom dresser drawer...(Thank goodness) and snail mailed me copies of the 4 pages that allowed us all to document the children of KJ McLemore. I have been looking for Anna at least 15 years....now I want to find her after 1883..... this is her in 1880:
