Note: was raised around Rogersville, Ala. During the Confederate
draft, he and others were held at a particular farm. All the
prisoner "draftees" carried fodder from the barn to sleep on.
Going upstairs, so the story goes, Mac threw his fodder down on
his guard and headed for the Coldwater area. This is how the
McLemores were supposedly established in Lincoln County.

Mac McLemore was blind in later years and terrified of storms.
Thunder would send him to hide in the basement.

Putman, Abraham Pinkney (b. 25 MAR 1827, d. 09 JAN 1907)

Note: spent much of his earlier life in Georgia. He moved to Young
Co., Texas in the 1870's. A small community grew up there
called Putman. He may still have been living there at the turn
of the century when Uncle Worth visited and saw his house with
the bullet holes in it.

Putman, George Lee (b. 22 APR 1852, d. 06 FEB 1906)

Note: tuberculosis

Note: fled Texas in the 1880's. He had struck a man on the head with
a shovel and thought he had killed him, according to Uncle
Worth. He rounded up 38 horses and led them on a gray across
the Mississippi River to Huntsville. At a hotel there, he met
one of the McLemore's. They went into partnership about 1890.
Putman's and McLemore's store
at Blanche was clerked by W.B. Winsett.

Family tradition states that George Putman was on his way back
to Texas when the McLemores realized Molly
was with child. Dick and Jim Will fetched him back for a shot
gun wedding. Uncle Worth was already born when they returned.

Putman later had a store near Madison Crossroads. Uncle Worth
said it was a very rough place. George Putman died of
tuberculosis. His daughter Beadie was terrified
of the disease for the rest of her life.

Childress, Arthur J. (b. 01 JAN 1811, d. 27 FEB 1898)

Note: A.J. Childress lived with his father James, Sr. around Mary's
Grove when he married one of the widow Mary George's daughters.
He remained on the George place on Washburn Creek when the rest
of the Childresses moved on to the newly opened lands in Tippah
Co., Mississippi. He held a teacher's certificate and was
apparently well educated. His handwriting can be found on many
legal documents.

Yet strangely, this educated man never taught his sons to read
nor write.

A.J. was active in politics as a Democrat and was elected to a
term as Registrar of Lincoln Co. in 1872. He served as Justice
of the Peace for the 19th Civil District which, in those days,
entitled him to many of the powers and duties of a judge.

Not too surprisingly, A.J.'s children by his first wife were
not happy at his second marriage. Jim felt that his stepmother
took advantage of and neglected his father. Once, Jim had to
fetch him and carry him on his back to his house. The feeble
A.J. had been left alone at home without anyone to care for
him.

Childress, James Holman (b. 03 AUG 1852, d. 07 NOV 1928)

Note: was always helping people. When Jim's mother died, he had to
take a big hand in the housework and raising the other kids.
When the other children grew up and moved off, Jim staid on to
farm the home place. after A.J.'s death, the property was going
to be sold for taxes. Jim came up with the money, but then gave
out shares to his sister and brothers.

It was Jim, who helped John George to make his escape from
jail and hanging for the murder of Hosea Towry. Jim hid George
overnight in a hollow chestnut log, then rode him to safety by
horseback.

Not an ambitious man, Jim Childress was easy-going, content
with the simple pleasures and old ways. He enjoyed setting out
all kinds of fruit trees and berry bushes and offering samples
to passers by. The well in front of the house was a favorite
stopping place. Far and wide,
Jim was known for his kindness and generosity.

The last time his grandson Elmer saw him was when he drove to
town and brought him back a slate and brother Ellis a rubber
ball.

Phillips, William M. (b. ABT 1826, d. ABT 1862)

Note: Civil War casualty

Note: We're told that William Phillips was one fourth Chocktaw and
had a swarthy
complexion. His farm was probably located on Bass Ford Road
where Bob Walker
later lived.

Near the end of 1861, Phillips enlisted in the 44th at
Tennessee at Nashville.
After the catastrophy at Fort Donelson, Confederates fell back
all the way to
Corinth, Mississippi to concentrate and regroup their forces.
Union forces were moving
South down the Tennessee River. General Johnson decided to
suprise Grant's army
at Pittsburg Landing and the bloody battle of Shiloh insued.

Phillips apparently saw action in S.A.M. Wood's Brigade on
April 6, 1862. The
44th regiment entered the engagement with 470 men. At roll call
Tuesday morning,
April 9, 120 answered to their names. Losses were so great that
April 26 the 44th was
joined to the 55th and afterwards known as the 44th Tennessee
"Consolidated".

That same day, Phillips was ordered from Baldwin Mississippi
to the hospital at
Columbus. But, he never made it. One of his comrads, a Dollar,
returned home to Lincoln County and reported last seeing him at
a train stop
somewhere in Mississippi, mortally ill. Phillips was leaning
against a tree and after
the train had watered and set off again, he was apparently
unable to get back on.

Title: Muster Rolls of 44th Tennessee Infantry
Abbreviation: Must44
Note: According to his service records, on 30 December 1861, William
M. Phillips was
enlisted as a private into Company E. of the 44th Tennessee
Infantry (Consolidated) in Nashville by a Lt. F. W. Hunt. Among
those enlisting with him were James E. Randolph, Jess S.
Rogers, John W. Smith and William G. Smith. On 26 April 1862, a
Sgt. Ganniway ordered him from Baldwin Miss. to the hospital in
Columbia Miss. This was during the Confederate retreat from
Shiloh to Corinth. Phillips was never heard from again and
probably never reached Columbia. He was last paid 1 March 1862.

Walker, Mary Jane (b. 15 APR 1830, d. 21 MAY 1891)

Note: She came to Tennessee in a covered wagon at the age of two.
She suffered greatly under Yankee occupation. During the course
of the war, the whole area was stripped of everything that
could be stolen or confiscated. Once the Phillips were sitting
at a meal, when yankee soldiers came in, pushed them away and
took their place at the table.

Not long after the Battle of Shiloh, Mr. Dollar returned from
Mississippi with the bad news
about Mary's husband, but she just waited. She ran a bill up at
her brother
Steve Walker's store. Her taxes went unpaid. After the War,
Steve ended up
with the farm. But, she never stopped looking for her husband
to return.
