NOTE -
According to the above website info, they stated:
"There
is currently disagreement between respected researchers about
whether Agnes Elizabeth Young, d/o John Young and Agnes Elizabeth
Davis, was the wife of George Lemon. Some researchers believe
Lemon's spouse was instead Mary Elizabeth Young & a totally
different individual; while others believe Mary Agnes Elizabeth
Young -- was a child named for her grandmother Maria Brunner & her
mother Agnes Elizabeth Davis. We are presently hard at work
attempting to verify/document the wife of George Lemon."
