Clemeth Andrew was born in Lumpkin County, Georgia to William and Lucretia Pierce Cavender. The lived on his Grandfather Clemeth Cavender's farm in Lumpkin County close the the Hall County line and not far from Murrayville. His father William acquired property in the Gaddistown Section of Union County. It located close to the Union-Fannin county line. After Clemeth A and Elvira "Evelyn" Poston were married they moved on toward Blairsville to a farm just north of Mulkey Gap which was about seven or eight miles SW of Blairsville the county seat of Union County. There they raised six children of with were three boys and three girls. They Nancy J Cavender that married Francis Marion Akins, William Young Cavender that was never married, my grandfather George Washington Cavender that married my grandmother Eliza Jane Pickelsimer, Robert Cavender, Elvira Lonna Cavender and Texanna "Annie" Cavender. I haven't found any evidence of Robert, Elvira or Annie of ever having been married. He was the postmaster of the Clemeth, GA Post Office that operated from 1880 to 1877.
He bought the farm in the Coosa district, at a young age and married Evelyn at about the same time. It was about 10 miles from Fairview the county seat of Union County at that time. Blairsville did not become the county seat until 1897. They went to raise three girls and three boys. They were Nancy J Cavender Akins, Elvira Lorina Cavender, Texanna "Annie" Cavender, William Young Cavender, George Washington Cavender, and Robert Cavender. Elvia died in 1872 and on 6 Sep 1872 He married Mary Elizabeth Self they had four girls and one boy. They were Sara Rebecca Cavender, Williams Cavender, Thuressa Emma Cavender, Visti Emily Cavender, and Mary Cavender.
Can't find the records because of the courthouse fire in 1891 but at some point in the 1860's to 1870's he moved back some when in the Cooper's Creek section of Union County. It was probably in the Sea Creek Falls area or in the Corinth Church Area. In 1880 the Clemeth Post Office was established and operated until 1887. That post office was named either for him or his uncle Clemeth Cavender, Jr born 1816. Clemeth Jr would have been 67 at the time and Clemeth would have been 54. None the less one of them was post master at that post office twice in its existence. In the seven year the Postmaster job was help by seven people and some of them twice such as he.
