Additional Information: The Parents Of Pleasant Wemms & Family, From Jefferson County, Georgia, USA

Question

Pleasant Wemms:

Born - 1830 - Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida Territory, USA

Died - ? - Moxley, Jefferson County, Georgia, USA

Pleasant was also enslaved in Florida Territory; Lexington, Kentucky (possibly?); and (possibly) Lynchburg, South Carolina. I did see a record saying he was enslaved in "Lexington and Lynchburg", after I was already aware of his birth in Florida.

Jane - his wife:

Married Pleasant - 1853 - Georgia?

Jane was born - 1823 - Georgia?

Died - ? - Moxley, Jefferson County, Georgia, USA

In Census records, they are listed as having multiple Wemms relatives living on many blocks within Moxley.

Can anyone modify Pleasant and Jane's trees with information they have about P & J's parents?

Comments

There is a Lexington in South Carolina, not awfully far from Lynchburg, South Carolina.

Hi Donald,

Thanks for pointing out the additional information needed for this family. I have added the USBH Black Heritage category so that our team can take a closer look at the profile and make the necessary updates.
