    Notes:

    MHR note: Levi used to have family worship at their home and he loved to sing. He sat on his porch the evening before his death and watched the sun set, and sang his favorite song:

    The day is past and gone,
    The evening shades appear:
    Oh, may we all remember well
    The night of death draws near.

    We lay our garments by,
    Upon our bed to rest.
    So death may soon disrobe us all
    Of what we now possess.

    He was taken suddenly in the night by an attack of acute indigestion and was gone.


    MHR note: Levi Hedges worked as a blacksmith, tanner, carpenter, and of course, farmed also.


    MHR note:
    Levi's father, William, had stated in his will that his son Andrew could keep the plantation Hedgehogg is he could, which Andrew did by buying out the other two sons, Levi and William.

    Mary Hedges Reiner visited the cemetery in November 1950 when it was known as the Graham Cemetery. Two Flemingsburg High School boys went with her to hunt for headstones and they found them completely covered with earth. She took photographs of the two stones.

    Levi married Rosannah Ribelin in 1795 in Kentucky. Rosannah (daughter of William Ribelin and Mary Ann Kiher) was born on 2 Sep 1780 in Yadkin Valley, North Carolina; died on 29 Sep 1848 in Fleming County, Kentucky; was buried in Old Crain Cemetery, Fleming County, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 9.  Rosannah RibelinRosannah Ribelin was born on 2 Sep 1780 in Yadkin Valley, North Carolina (daughter of William Ribelin and Mary Ann Kiher); died on 29 Sep 1848 in Fleming County, Kentucky; was buried in Old Crain Cemetery, Fleming County, Kentucky.

    Notes:

    MHR note: Rosannah (Ribelin) Hedges was the neighborhood nurse and midwife. There is a story told of a black servant who came to take her to attend a birth in the home of his master. He rode a horse and led one with a side saddle. The river was in flood, and she was swept out of her saddle in the dark. The servant caught her and held her head above water until the horses swam to the shallow water and they went on. She attended to her duties as midwife and next morning the water was down so she could go home.

    She told fortunes with tea leaves.

    Levi Hedges left Maryland and came to Kentucky probably around 1795. That is also the year that he met and eloped with Rosannah, the oldest daughter of William Ribelin (who had moved his family to Kentucky from Yadkin Valley, North Carolina). Levi was about nineteen and she was not quite fifteen years old. Her father threatened to scratch her name from the family Bible, but he did not do so as Mary Hedges Reiner saw the family Bible of William Ribelin (probably in the 1950's) in the Historical Society in Lexington and Rosannah's name was still there.
