Robert Jemison

JEMISON, Robert, legislator, born in Lincoln county, Georgia, 17 September, 1802; died in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, 16 October, 1871. He removed in 1821 to Alabama, where he became an active Whig, and was long in the legislature. He was president of the state senate in 1863, and soon afterward entered the Confederate senate, though he had opposed secession in 1861. He did much toward improving the finances of his state, and was the founder of the Alabama insane asylum. The construction of the Alabama and Chattanooga railroad was largely due to his efforts.
