(7) Ritchie County Death Records, Harrisville, WV, His marriage record in 1858 listed his occupation as farmer, while his death record in 1916 gave it as blacksmith. (8) Headstone (date) & Marriage Rec (place). June 20 1841 given by some. Age 17 at Aug 1858 marriage puts birth ca 1841. Age 88 at March 1923 death puts birth ca 1834. Age 10 at 1850 Census puts birth ca 1840. Age 33 at 1878 birth of son makes it 1845. (9) Harrison County Death Records, Clarksburg, WV, Name listed as "Bashaber Belle McNemar," age 88, widow. Father listed as Aaron Vincent, an error probably referring to son Joseph Aaron McNemar, age 44 at time. Mother's name "not obtained.", DR Bk 7, p. 174. (10) Headstone, shared with husband Samuel A. McNemar. Her name appears as Bashie B. McNemar, with dates Jul 20 1839 to Mar 12 1923. (11) Ritchie County Historical Society (David M. Scott, Editor), Ritchie County, West Virginia Cemeteries through 1993, McClain Printing Co, Parsons, WV, 1995, Birth date incorrectly reported as July 20 1889.

Death record of Catherine Devina McNemar Boyce states her place of birth as Pennsboro and birth date as Jan 17 1862, with age 81y 11m 28d at time of death on Jan 15 1946.

(23) Doddridge County Birth Records, West Union, WV, The birth records in Doddridge Co (Delay Entry Book 1, p. 122-K) show his birth as Nov 16 1878 at Big Flint, also showing him as his mother's 8th child. This birth date also conforms to that on his headstone. But a handwritten entry in Ritchie County Birth Records (p. 122) shows his birth as Dec 16 1878 in Grant District, Ritchie County. BR Bk Del-1, p. 122-K. (24) Marriage record of son. (25) Ritchie County Birth Records, Harrisville, WV, Date appears in birth record as "July -- 1886." Family records indicate July 15th, but show his middle initial as M, rather than the N in this birth record. Record shows mother as "Beesheba." His death record identifies him as Wm. N. McNemar, son of Samuel McNemar & "Bashnay" McNemar, but shows his birth date as Jul 15 1884. Age given at time of marriage to Alice Cunningham would put birth year at 1886 or 1887.
