Notes

James and some of his sons were bush whacked after returning from the Civil War. They were buried in unmarked graves to keep from having the graves desecrated. James' son Martin Van Buren Hembree was a surviving son and Mart had no children.

James' daughter Mary Jane Hembree chose to give her eight children the Hembree surname so the Hembree name would be preserved in spite of the murders.
