"Miss May Jenkins, daughter of W. J. W. Jenkins, of near Rising Fawn, died Thursday night of last week from the effects of an overdose of laudanum. 

    "The young girl had been suffering from a toothache and upon retiring took the bottle of medicine to bed with her and it is thought she was holding the medicine in her mouth to ease the pain when she fell asleep and swallowed it.

Richard Sizemore, Dade County, Georgia, Various Documents

RICHARD SIZEMORE
Last Will & Testament (Transcript):

1. RICHARD SIZEMORE was born in 1800 near Greenville Greenville Co South Carolina and died in 1865 in DeKalb Co Alabama. . He married ELIZABETH ANN ‘BETTY' FORESTER/FOSTER about 1818 or 1819. She was born in 1804 in South Carolina and died 1 May 1879 in DeKalb Co Alabama. Her parents are FRANCIS FORESTER & UNKNOWN.  Richard & Betty are buried at Pea Ridge Cemetery DeKalb Co Alabama.

Richard is said to be the son of EPHRAIM SIZEMORE SR (1743-1836) & WINEFORD ‘WINNEY' GREEN (1745-1839), but the age of his mother would have been 55 years old when he was born. These are possibly his grandparents

The following information on Richard Sizemore from the Sand Mountain Melungeon Families website:

Richard Sizemore came from Spartansburg District, South Carolina and moved to Habersham County Georgia by 1822 and to Dade County Georgia about 1845 where he joined a group of other mixed breeds avoiding removal near Rising Fawn.  To credit descendants and relatives in Eastern Cherokee claims 1906-1924 which comprise two entire volumes of the Guion Miller Commission's report, the family came from North Carolina and Virginia and were Cherokee.  The name is cognate with Cismor and other Portuguese Jewish surnames, deriving from Sis(a)mai, a Judahite of the descendants of the daughter of Sheshan and Jarha, a Phoenician god's name, meaning water crane or swallow.  In Sephardic tradition applied to 'tax farmers.'  Sheshan had no sons, only daughters.  Sheshan had an Egyptian slave whose name was Jarha.  Eleasah begot Sisamai and Sisamai begot Shallum (1 Chronicles 2:34-40).  They were Portuguese Jews who came from London to Barbados and Jamestown, where they blended with the Saponi, Powhatan, Mattaponi, Cherokee, and Creek on the frontier.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will and Testament of Richard Sizemore:

Georgia, Dade County.  In the name of God, Amen, I, Richard Sizemore of said state and county, being of advanced age and knowing that must depart this life, deem it right and proper both as respects my family and myself that I should make a disposition of my property with which a kind providence has blessed me:  do therefore make my last will and testament hereby revoking all others heretofore made by same.

1st item.  I design that my body be buried in a decent and Christian-like manner suitable to my condition in life.  My soul, I trust, shall return to rest with God who gave it.

2nd item.  I design and direct that all my just debts be paid without delay by my executors hereinafter appointed, as I am unwilling my creditors should be delayed their right.

3rd item.  I give, bequeath and devise to my son Andrew Jackson and Thomas Benton and James Clayton and my daughter Malinda Elizabeth part of lot of land number two hundred and nineteen in the eleventh district of formerly Cherokee, now Dade County, containing one hundred and ten acres with all rights, members and privaliges(sic) to said lot of land in any wise appertaining or belonging forever.

4th item.  I give and bequeath to my son John one sorrel horse and two cows and calves and their increase and six head of sheep and their increase, one yoak(sic) of stears(sic) and cart, one hundred bushels of corn and ten head of hogs, and one rifle gun, and three feather beds and furnature(sic).

5th item.  I hereby appoint my son John executor of this my last will and testament this April 18th, 1850.

Richard Sizemore

Registered this 20th of April 1850.

John B Perkins, Clerk

(Thanks to Winona Jones of Weatherford Texas)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Richard Sizemore was buried in Pea Ridge Cemetery, DeKalb County, Alabama on top of the mountain.  This cemetery also contains the graves of Coopers and Bundrens.  His widow Elizabeth moved to Fraction Township in the area known as Shraders Mill, where her neighbors were the Coopers and Shraders (Alabama 1866 State Census).  She was the daughter of Francis Forester and a Chickahominy woman and died May 1, 1879.

Very recent efforts spearheaded by Alan Lerwick of Salt Lake City, Utah, have traced the Sizemores back to a Michael Sizemore, a London merchant who died in 1685. Lerwick has also mapped two distinct DNA lines in Virginia and North Carolina, one continuing the original R1b gene type and the other an American Indian Q haplotype. He believes that Indian descent entered the Sizemore family with Henry Sizemore, born about 1698. The descendants of Henry’s older brother Ephraim are R1b.

Jane Blevins Cooper Pension Files

This post will remain in progress while I migrate the Jane Cooper pension-file transcripts from Southern Muse to North Georgia Kin. Later, I will provide links to the various pension files!


Introduction

Jane Blevins Cooper
Jane Blevins of Sand Mountain, Alabama, married Isaac Cooper. They had William Cooper, who was the father of Peter Cooper (born May 9th, 1843). Jane's husband, Isaac, fought in the Mexican Wars and died in the service of his country. Jane applied for pension based on Isaac's service.

A researcher once told me, jokingly, that Jane and Peter Cooper must have been some piece of work. "They applied for everything coming and going," she said. To me, the pensions tell another story--one of government red tape. It must have been difficult for poor Jane, Isaac's widow, to constantly worry over getting her meager pension reinstated. Every time it needed renewal, she had to gather proofs, bring together witnesses, and beg for legal assistance in getting the letters written--only to have the government lose them, apparently--so that she had to do it all over again. All this, she did for the sake of a houseful of kids--including her grandchildren.

Listed below are links to the pension documents of Jane Blevins Cooper. If you have access to the actual documents, please notify me of any errors that you find.

 More about Isaac Cooper

Southern Muse's identification of individual: D.K. Pritchett's great-grandfather: Isaac Cooper, born 29 March 1879, Long Island, Jackson, Alabama; son of Peter Cooper and Malinda Sizemore.

Isaac Cooper married (1) Mattie Jane Emaline Wigley (or Wiggley) (called Mattie).
[Record: Issaac Cooper (married) Miss Mattie Wigley on 9 November 1902, Trenton, Dade, Georgia; marriage book D, p.93].

Isaac Cooper married (2) Clarancy Cleo Colvin (called Cleo).
[Record: Mr. Isaac Cooper (married) Miss Cleo Colvan on 10 Dec 1911, Long Island, Jackson Co., Alabama; marriage book 3, p.436 (on file at courthouse in Scottsboro).]

Isaac Cooper married (3) Euna Estelle Higdon (called Estelle).
[Record: I.S. Cooper married Estell Higdon on 17 March 1929, Marion County, Tennessee; marriage book 20, p.130]

Note: Isaac has the middle initial of "S" on one marriage record. None of us descendants know what, if anything, it stands for. I've tried to extract records verbatim, but have had to refer back to my old notes in some cases. Also, my extract of Isaac's first marriage is from a typed, certified copy, backed up by my old notes from when I extracted it from the marriage book. Back then, my extracts were not all verbatim. DKP's extract style, not copy/paste.
