ADONIRAM JUDSON CHEVES
A Huguenot family, fleeing from persecution in France, came to this country and settled in the Carolinas, where many of their descendants yet remain, and where several of their number attained considerable distinction, occupied positions of trust and honor, and became famous, not only in those States, but throughout the land.
Early in the present century, Grief Cheves came to Georgia, and taught school awhile in Greene and Putnam counties. After his marriage he adopted agriculture as his calling, in which he enjoyed more than ordinary success. In early manhood he joined a Baptist Church, and was soon set apart to the office of deacon, which he honorably and faithfully filled to the end of his life.
His son, Isaac Green Cheves, was born in 1811. In 1834 he married Ann Elizabeth McCowan, and soon after moved to Macon county, near Fort Valley, Georgia, where, on the 5th of July, 1839, ADONIRAM JUDSON CHEVES was born to them. He, with their other children, received careful, pains-taking moral and religious training. Being of delicate constitution, he was much of his time with his mother - was "A real mother's boy;" and his mother was like Timothy's - she taught him the Scriptures from his childhood.
In his nineteenth year he put on Christ by baptism, and united with the Baptist church at Fort Valley. He matriculated at Mercer University in 1858, and was graduated in 1862. Instead of entering on the profession which he has since chosen, he was called at once to enter the ranks of the Confederate army as a private soldier, and suffered all the hardships and vicissitudes of a soldier's life until the close of that fearful struggle. Returning home in 1865, he vinced his determination to devote his time and talents to his Master's cause, by at once entering on his studies in the theological department of Nercer University, and remained there the balance of the year.
In 1863 he married the only daughter of Professor S. P. Sanford, LL. D., of Mercer University, and in 1866 he settled on a farm. He pursued the occupation, which has come down from the second son of Adam, until 1875, when, no longer able to resist his own inclinations or the wishes of his brethren, he was called to ordination by the church at Traveller's Rest. He has continued to serve them since that time. He lives on his farm, but has the care of several churches and is devoting almost his entire time to the preaching of the Gospel as the great object of life. He is faithful in the performance of every duty. He is a man of fine sense and gentlemanly bearing; a preacher sound in the faith and forcible in its statement and defence, and has made an efficient and popular clerk of the Rehoboth Association. The discipline of early training, of study, of war, of agricultural life, and of pastoral experience, has promoted maturity of intellect, vigor of gracious principle, and consistency of walk and conversation; and he stands among his brethren in Christ, a brother beloved.
Andoniram Judson Cheves married Anna Maria Sanford on 15 Dec 1863. They had at least five children;
1) Shelton Sanford Cheves, b. 1866
2) Oreola Cheves, b. 1869.
3) Charles J. Cheves, b. 1872
4) Langdon Crawford Cheves, b. 1876
5) Infant Son Cheves, b. 1879
