Notes:

Some researchers have shown that she and Lofton divorced, and that Elizabeth died in 1883. Bonnie Seiler, a descendant states that this is not correct. Her records indicated that Elizabeth died 15 April 1875.

Bonnie also notes that Elizabeth was marrid to George PARKER before she married Lofton Hayes McLemore. George was killed in the Civil War. Bonnie states that on the marriage record of Elizabeth and Loften Hayes she was listed as Elizabeth Parker, daughter of James and Sarah Bullard.

Elizabeth married Lofton Hayes McLemore on 18 Sep 1866 in Sampson County, North Carolina. Lofton (son of Amos McLemore and Jemima Simmons) was born on 10 Mar 1844 in Sampson County, North Carolina; died on 3 Oct 1906 in Sampson County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Lived with his grandparents, Amos and Jemima McLemore, at the time of the 1880 census. Listed as Edward C on the 1900 census, and Claud E in 1910.

He was listed in the 1909-1910 Fayetteville NC City Directory as Edward C. McLEMORE, Clerk, A. J. BULLARD & Son....Home, 233 Davis Street

He was listed in the 1915-1916 Fayetteville NC City Directory as Edward C. McLEMORE, Agent, Life Insurance Co. of Virginia Res. 907 Person Street Wife: Lena

It appears they moved to Virginia prior to 1930.

Bonnie Seiler writes that his death was reported in the Virginia Pilot Newspaper on June 24, 1930. He apparently jumped from the upstairs window of his home and committed suicide.
