    • Marriage Notes for William McLemore and Annie Wharton: From Thenie's diary: "When Mama was a young pretty city girl (Nashville) she came visiting to Spring Hill and Papa's two sisters Margaret and Thenie McLemore came to call on her. They invited her out to their country home to a party and it was there Papa met and fell in love with her. He was not living there then but was a young lawyer in Franklin. Living only 8 miles from Thompson Station he was at home on a visit. I do not know how long they were engaged but they were married on Demonbreun Street in Nashville at her home on May 15, 1856, and came at once to live in Franklin."

      Williamson County Historical Society journal 32, 2001, page 43, in a letter from Andrew B. Ewing to his son Hugh date 12 Apr 1859: "I have been very busy in my profession for several days - Billy McLemore's wife blessed him with Twin-daughters a few days since, which is the fourth woman I have attended with twins this spring - a very unusual number indeed even for a whole years business."
