You must have the newest book on Avinger/Hickory Hill history. There are a lot of errors in it about my McCains but at least it led you here. I have tons of info on the McCains. My great great grandfather Isaac Newton McCain lived at Harris Chapel in Morris Co. Robert was one of his brothers. I know nothing about Lemmons except what Fred's story said. Robert's records are in Marion Co where he lived until he moved into Avinger so his marriage may be there as his 1st one was in Marion. Dee McCain has children at Arlington & Dallas TX but I have never been able to get response from contacting them. Only one of Preacher Jim's daughters still lives at Hallsville. I have some information from Methodist archives on Preacher Jim McCain but none on his wife. Contact me direct if you want to exchange info. Have to ask: are you also a Peacock?
