Dear Mary Jo,
Is the John Johnson you have born from a John or Samuel Johnson? I sure do
thank you all for any information you find! My John Sutton Johnson's father was
Nathaniel who was a sibling with another John and Samuel. Nat. Sam and John's
father was a Samuel, born of a John Johnson..... Lordy Lordy!!! Then Nathaniel
and John and Samuel each named their boys after the other brothers, and it
just kept growing. Thinking about the commonality and overuse of some Christian
or Given names, I still think we should number them. It worked for Charlie
Chan!! No. 1 Son, No 2 Son... etc....
I got more than 1200 hits just in 1870 census- all in that area. So I will
be digging up folks for a while in the area!!
:-)
The John Johnson listed in the 1870 and 1880 census in Monroe county was
born in Virginia, his wife was Sarah McKisson.
I have more information on that family, but not the John Johnson you asked
about
