Bulah B. McLemore

(1.Darline¹) was born in Nov 1894 in Mississippi; and died.

Notes:

Might she have married Samuel Carter, and then died, prior to 1920? As of the 1920 Forrest County, Mississippi , census, she is no longer listed in her parents household, but a 22 year old Samuel T. Carter, son-in-law is shown. It is also possible he is instead married to her sister Eula. Eula is still listed as Eula McLemore in 1920, but also shown as married.

Additionally, on the 1920 Perry County, Mississippi, a Beula, also born ca 1894, can be found as the Wife of Lawrence McLemore, living in Beat 2. In 1900 Beulah's parents lived in Beat 3 of Perry County, prior to their move to Forrest County.

Eula Pearly McLemore

(1.Darline¹) was born on 8 Dec 1898 in Forrest County, Mississippi; died in Nov 1973.

She applied for a Social Security Account number on March 9, 1954, with her address at the time being 208 Ford Drvie, Petal, Mississippi. Her occupation was listed as "Unemployed." She listed her date of birth as December 8, 1898 in Forrest County, Misssissippi, contractdicting the 1900 census. Her parents were shown as John McLemore and Darline Odom.

Generation: 3

7. Ola M. McLemore (3.A.², 1.Darline¹) was born about 1915 in Forrest County, Mississippi; and died.

Earnest McLemore

(3.A.², 1.Darline¹) was born about 1922 in Mississippi; and died.

Notes:

As there was a five year gap between Earnest and his younger sister, it is ASSUMED he was born in Buford's first wife, Evelene. This may be incorrect, and his mother might actually be Lola, Buford's second wife.

His mother should be verified through a primary record.
