Moses Johnson, (My Grandfather) Bledsoe, Harston, Tuggle, Guest, Morris, Holmes, Vinson, or Sample. Grandfather Johnson was born in Fayetteville,Tennessee in 1879 but migrated to Lonoke where he met and married Letha Tuggle. They had eight children. Letha, along with four of the children died in 1919 of the great Flu Epidemic. Moses moved on to live in other cities. Grays, Devalls Bluff, Dixie, Cotton Plant, and finally Gregory Point. He was a member of the Guildfild Baptist Church and also a member of the Gregory Masonic Lodge # 179. He met and married Leona Bledsoe daughter of John and Octavia Bledsoe. Social Security information indicates that Moses at one time worked for the Menesha Lumber Company in Patterson. This documentation states that his father's name was Abram Johnson and mother's name was Mary Bumbry. I would truly like to establish this as fact. If anyone has ! any information on any of the above, I would be so grateful to hear from you. Please reply to taylormorris@sbcglobal.net Thank you.
