Message Board Post:
Charles,
I'm interested in Roswell Johnson. I've been told that he is either brother, or
uncle to my William R Johnson.
There was a Roswell Johnson listed as first Treasurer of Ripley county (which was formed
in 1818). The DAR says that a Roswell Johnson was buried in Ripley county, and that he
fought in the Revolutionary War. I know that the county seat, Versailles, is in Johnson
township, where both Roswell and William were living in 1820.
I'm inclined to believe that Roswell and William were both early pioneers, if not
founders, of this area.
Please reply if you would like further communication.
Terri
