Notes |
- William F. Lemmons, born in South Carolina, was married in Alabama in 1847 and was farming in Cass Co., Texas by 1850. By 1860 it seems that his first wife had died, he had remarried and he moved his family to Gatesville, Coryell Co., Texas and is listed as a wagon-maker. He appears in the Coryell 1861 tax records as the agent for A. G. Gholson, reporting 2 horses and 60 head of cattle. In March of that year, he appears on the muster roll of Capt. Sam Friend's company of "Minute Men", which was raised to deal with an Indian threat in the area. He left the company in August of 1861 with 21 other militia men "to join other companies of more active service". He appears again in February 1864 in Capt. J. K. Shipman's militia company. The last record for William is a court docket that mentions him as agent for Gholson in 1869. It appears that he died prior to 1870, as his wife, Nancy, has remarried and appears in the 1870 census with her new husband, John Cash, his children, and her children by W. F. Lemmons.
RESEARCH: There is a Sarah J. Mills who married W F Lemmon Jr. in Russell Co., Alabama on 6 May 1847.
There is a biography for William Mars “Bill” Lemmons (1863-1944) in Hamilton, Texas (near Coryell) that mentions that his father, William M. Lemmons died of disease while in the Confederate service. His mother was Sarah Lemmons who received land from her husband’s service in 1881 in Coryell Co. (Rootsweb) We don’t think there is any direct connection to Alice Eudora’s ancestry.
