William Robert McLemore

Notes:

From the 'Humboldt Courrier': "Milan, TN., Jan. 30--Robert McLemore, aged about 68 years, died yesterday of pneumonia at the home of S. H. Hughes near here. He was a Confederate soldier. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Thomas Manning of Lavinia & Mrs. Fry of Cedar Grove,TN."

Mark Freeman has him born ca 1842, however, this contradicts both the 1850 and 1860 census. It appears he was born in 1852. He must have been very young when entered the Civil War, perhaps in the last days of that war.
