Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HSB.2ACE/797.803 Message Board Post: Bob, Not sure if this will help, but I have a Hollingsworth file that has info on a Peter McLemore Smith 1831-1908 married to Sophia Thaggard 1837-1877 with a child: Mark Peter Smith 1875-1955 who married Elizabeth Louise (Bessie Mae) Melvin 1878-1962. Is this part of your family? If so, I'll be glad to send you the file. The names you mentioned were so similar, I thought I'd mention it to you. My family surnames are Spell, Hales, Fisher, Melvin, Martin, Moore, Bullard, Hollingsworth, Willis, Strickland, Royal, Butler, Simmons, Herrington....and all from Bladen/Cumberland/Sampson Counties. A close friend of my late grandmother Mildred Hales of Roseboro is a McLemore. I've always known him as "Toot", but not sure of his real given name. Anyway, if you'd like, I'll email you the file I mentioned. Claudia Spell Ceespell@bellsouth.net
