Amanda F. McLemore

Notes:

Also called Mandy.

Rosa's papers say that Amanda's husband Philip was a veteran of the Civil War and a farmer in Seguin---and that he died in Seguin and Amanda in San Antonio. She lists their children as Margaret, Clara, Emma Edward, Walter, Mattie, Rex and Agnes.

In 1880 and 1900, she was listed with her husband and children, and they were living in Seguin. In 1910 and 1920, she was living with her daughter, Clara Flowers, in San Antonio, Texas.

Melba Gene McLemore found a copy of her obituary in THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT:

Notes:

Sept . 7th 1868
Seguin , Tx.

In a letter written from Seguin by Keton J. McLemore to his son Felix, dated Sept. 7, 1868, he notes that "Phillip will start in a day or two. He would perhaps be gone now, but was kept home on account of Amanda. She had a daughter born day before yesterday..." Based on census records, this must have been Mattie Ebner.

Notes:

Appears to have been overlooked in Rosa McLemore Dunkerly's list of children born to Phillip and Amanda.

August married Mary Daisy Hardin on 12 Nov 1901 in Guadalupe County, Texas. Mary was born before 1881; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

On the 1880 census, a 3 year old Felix Ebuer was listed, but no listing for a Walter. In 1900, a Walter Ebner, born July 1877 is listed, but there is no listing for a Felix. According to his draft registration for World War I, transcribed below, his full name was Walter Felix Ebner.

Name: Walter Felix Ebner
Location of Registration: San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas
Date of Birth: Jan 27, 1877
Employment: Oil Mill in Refining
Next of Kin: Mrs. Amanda Ebner, Mother San Antonio, Texas

Notes:

On the 1880 census, a 9 month old Leon Ebuer was listed, but there was no listing for a Rexford. In 1900, a Rexford Ebner, born September 1880 is listed, but there is no listing for a Leon. It is also possible Leon died prior to 1900, as Amanda is listed as the mother of 10 total children, with only 7 still surviving as of 1900. The WWI Draft registration records at Ancestry.com were searched, but no information was found for either a Leon or a Rexford Ebner, which also indicates he/they died young. Rosa McLemore Dunkerly shows that Philllip and Amanda were the parents of a Rex, but does not list a Leo. It is therefore assumed that Rex was called by both names.
