Fennil / Fennell Cemetery, 56-1 Summary Report, page 17

---

This record shows that Thomas Brandon (possibly an heir of John Brahan, since there is no record of John Brahan selling his land to a Brandon) and others sold land in the SW/4 (perhaps an incomplete recording summary - it may have also included the SE/4) to John Mills in 1834. John Mills then sold land to include the SE/4 in 1843 to Isham J. Fennell. Thus, the Fennell family came to own the land where the cemetery is located. By 1843, the Jordans and the Fennells had already buried several of their patriarchs in the Jordan's Chapel Cemetery, but they may have used this property for slave burials. Still, it is not totally out of the realm of possibility that even Temperance herself could be buried here, rather than beside her husband and her father at Jordan's Chapel Cemetery. There are no known records to state where she was buried. One would almost expect a large monument to remain at her gravesite, but there are none known for her today. 17 - (2134)
