My name is David Carney Johnson. I am a black american. I am a grandson of
Olive-Josephine Carney johnson and grand nephew of Wallace Carney- both born about 1890
-1900 . There father was the house butler for the Lippincott family ( Publishing magnates
in Philadelphia/Delaware). My great uncle Wallace Carney graduated from the University of
Pennsylvania and founded Holland Catering Service, a very well known catering company in
Philadelphia . This is a family name that has passed to my generation is much coveted in
my family. I do l that my grandmother's great grandfather was a free black from
England Rixom WEBB who came to America as a free black and bought land in Maryland and
had many progeny. The family farm was called Hog Island. If anyone has any history about
my family I would be grateful.
