FENLEY
Pleasant M.
Pleasant M. Fenley and his wife Sarah A. Blair Fenley came to Brazil bringing the children Charles Columbus (born 1859), P. P.A. Fenley “Pulaski” (born 1847), Hulda V. (born 1851), Sarah L. (born 1849), and Elisabeth B. (born 1849). They were married, respectively, to Eugenia Minchin, Mary Virginia Carlton, John Rowe, John Rowe (for this, second marriage), and John Carlton. All of these have their burials at the Cemiterio do Campo, in Santa Barbara, SP. They were natives of Edgefield, South Carolina, in the USA, but, at the time of coming to Brazil, they were residing in Mariana, Jackson County, Florida, having moved there after the 1850 census probably in 1851 as that is where and when daughter Hulda was born. They were a family of Baptists.
Pleasant M. Fenley passed away in Santa Barbara, SP, on December 3, 1885, at the age of 70. At that time he was a pastor of PIB / SB, missionary Edwin H. So per • . The inscription in the title of Pleasant M. Fenley's title reveals that he was a member of a Baptist church for years and had died firmly in faith. On the gravestone, the Masonic sign is seen, thus designating his affiliation to the Masonic Order.
From the inscription of Sarah A., wife of PM Fenley, we have that she was the daughter of CC and SA Blair, born on August 19, 1819, and died on 2 January 29, 1879, also in Santa Barbara, being a member of a Baptist church. for 45 years.
On December 28, 1980, Rev. Richard Ratcliff sent a letter from Texas to FMB on the issue related to the problem that arose between workers Quillin and Teixeira de Albuquerque. Ratcliff mentioned PM Fenley's sons and his son-in-law, John Rowe, as sincere and trustworthy men, able to help solve the problem. Both were members and devotees at the time of the State Baptist Church; the second.
The exact date of the Fenley family's arrival in Brazil is unknown,. It is likely during the years 1869/1870.
It is said that before living in Santa Barbara, the family was in Parana; At the Campinas Forum, in the Intake da "Distribuiao" we find the record of a Script of Purchase and Sale, Book 9, p. 25, 15.06.1881, by Alexandr € 'and Charles Fenley passing to Dr, Jorge Green Mattheus, 35 bushels of land. We find below the records of Purchase and Sale of land between Alexandre Fenley, Charles Fenley, and Guilherme Norris, Booklet of Scriptures 16, p. 13, 10.10.1888; P. 26, 12.01.1889; P. 28, 01.22.1889. In the-Book No. 13, p. 44, 06.08.1886, and distributes "Escritura" of sharing signed by Alexandre Fenley, his brothers, and brothers-in-law of the goods left by the late Pleasant Fenley ". The house that Charles Fenley built, now repaired and a little modified can be seen on the way out of the city of Americana going to Nova Odessa. There is a restaurant in it "A Gazela".
