AmeliaWilliams testified she was very well acquainted with both Jamina and Evan Edards about 4o years since the first acquaintance and then and then knew them for 10 or 15 years in Jefferson County, Tenn. She said that she (Jamina) married Evanglist Edwards that she was present at the wedding. Suzanne Randolph who is now living in Jefferson CoTennessee was present at the marriage, and I do not know of any other living person who was present at that time.They lived together as husband and wife until his deathandwere regarded such in the neighborhood where they lived until his death. East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana Volume 11 Hephzibah Babtist Church Records by Mary Ann Smith Sagely.Copyright 1985, Clinton, La. 1813 Jamina Cleveland and Daniel Cleveland were members. They were among a group of early settlers that started this church. Jamina was my 5th grandmother. They had several children but I do know Jamina and Daniel had a daughter Sarah Cleveland Lee. From the Hephzibah Church records these are minutes of their meetings and none of the spelling was changed. Jemimah Cleveland was the way her name was in the book. Also, Evangelist Eddards was the spelling in this book.Court papers all done in hand writing have Edwards, and Eddards and Jemima, who knows!Daniel Cleveland outlived Jamina.I read where she died in 1832 in East Feliancia Parish, La. I am not positive. Any other infro would be greatly appreciated. Parish records on Danield Cleveland did say he told people that he was a direct decendent of Oliver Cromwell!Daniel Cleveland was a cousin to Jamina and her father was Col. Benjamin Cleveland. Who Knows!!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
