Notes |
Robert Jemison III left Lincoln County, Georgia for Wilkinson County, later called Twiggs County, Georgia when he was about 18 years of age. He and Margaret did not have any children until they were married about five years. All of their children were born in Perry County, Alabama but two. Margaret was only 14 years old when they married. Robert had purchased land in Twiggs and Laurens Counties, Georgia. I have their land records. The frontier was growing westward and Robert moved to west Alabama. Robert settled in Perry County, Alabama where he bought over 3000 acres of land and built a mill. He had farming and milling chores and so his slaves did a lot of the work. He built a grist mill and cotton gin about 12 miles from his home. In the early days he furnished flour from his mills to a good portion of south Alabama. His wagon's were loaded with "Jemison's Best". He bought all the good wheat he could find and always paid cash for it. Talladega County, Alabama was formed December 18, 1832 and Robert and family moved there in 1833. He bought 2,880 acres of land from the Creek Indians which cost him $6,350.00. I have copies of these deeds. Robert moved his family into a 2 room Log cabin in Talladeag, Alabama in 1833. It was located about 200 yards from where Shadrack Mims Jemison built his home Sunnyside. It was on the south side of the farm road leading to the family cemetery now called Jemison Cemetery in Talladega. In later years Jemison's Mill became known as Turner's Mill. By 1839 Robert owned about 4,038 acres of land in Talladega County, Alabama. The land was previously Creek Indian land. Robert was 77 years old when he married Sally Hinkle, and she bore him 2 sons. They were divorced and she went to Texas to live.
