William H Hembree

• General Notes
  • William H. Hembree was born 1831 in Roane County, Tennessee, and died after 1900.
    
    As an adult he appears in the 1880 census of Cumberland County, Tennessee as William �W.� Hembree (47 b.TN), father of Henry Hembree (16 b. TN), and in the 1870 census of Cumberland County, Tennessee as William �F� Hembree (37 b. TN) the father of William H. Hembree (5 b.TN).
    
    Although William Henry Hembree (b.1864) was not part of the household, William H. Hembree (27 b.TN) and wife Melvina (27 b.TN) are found in the 1860 census of Cumberland County, Tennessee. Listed next door is his brother Isaac N. Hembree (b.c.1825 TN) with wife Minerva Carter.
    
    William H. Hembree (b.1831) and his brother Isaac N. Hembree (b.1825) are found with their widowed mother Martha Hembree (45 b. unk) in the 1850 census of Morgan County, Tennessee, as William Hembree (20 b.TN) and Isaac Hembree (15 b.TN).
    
    Martha is known to be Anliza Martha (Patsy) Earle, Cherokee. Her race in 1860 is �not white, not black, not mulatto� and her birthplace (Cherokee Nation) is shown as �unk�.
    She is the widow of Obediah Hembree (d.1849 Morgan County, Tennessee) � a fact well accepted by Hembree researchers. She, and all the children listed with her and next to her can be accounted for in the 1840 census of Morgan County, Tennessee, and the 1830 census of Roane County, Tennessee, under Obediah Hembree.
