Thanks for the info, but I'm afraid that the SPEARS name does not crop up in my JOHNSON line. These JOHNSON's of mine are being extremely disagreeable! :-) Didn't buy property, didn't do anything except hang (speaking of hanging, check out the next paragraph!) around the ole' rented farm I guess! The only one that actually got his name in the newspaper was my great-great-Uncle Thomas Jefferson JOHNSON, who got himself hung in 1899 in Troy, Alabama! :-( Thanks anyway.
