Agnes McGough Johnson was a younger sister of my g- g-grandmother, Mary McGough Armstrong (12 Sept 1793 - 1 March 1885) , married to James Harrison Armstrong (14 Aug 1796 - 3 March 1859). Other siblings were Elizabeth (Betsey), John, James, and Robert Joseph (Robert Jr.), children of Robert McGough/Agnes McWhorter McGough. I have a considerable file of material on the McGoughs, all of which you may already have, but if you do not, and are interested, I'd be glad to share it with you. Agnes McGough Johnson is the one member of this family about whom I know very little, and I would appreciate any information about her that you could share. I have the names of her children as listed in the census, and that's all. And I know almost nothing about Lloyd F. Johnson, although I have suspected that Agnes' brother Robert Joseph's wife, Mary P. Johnson, was a sister/relative of his. I'm delighted to make this connection with you. Do you have a death date for Agnes Johnson? And for Lloyd F Johnson? Old Mary McGough Armstrong moved (with a large family company) to Louisiana in 1847, and settled there. She died, at age 91, in the home of my grandparents at the age of 91, in March 1885. My father (born in 1874) remembered her well, and listened to her stories about the McGoughs (in Ireland and afterward) when he was a small boy, especially during her last winter, 1884-1885. I have the personal possessions she left when she died there -- books, photographs, a walking stick, hand-knitted stocking, shoes, clothing, nightcap. I look forward to hearing from you again. Let me know if you'd like some of the information on the McGoughs, etc. which I have. I'd appreciate having a listing of the children, etc. of Agnes/Lloyd Johnson. Incidentally, I am acqauinted with several African-American families in Louisiana who are descendants of slaves named Johnson who came on the 1847 caravan. Mary Armstrong bought a black man named Shadrack (Shadrick) Johnson from ehr sister Agnes shortly before they left Alabama. Best wishes, Bob Parrott, Knoxville. . --part0_922154000_boundary--
