Surnames: JOHNSON TIBBALS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xY.2ADI/408.1.1 Message Board Post: My JOHNSON line goes back to a Joshua JOHNSON b. 8 JAN 1788 in Haddam, Middlesex Connecticut. There seems to be some disagreement regarding the identity of his father. I ran across a hand-written family history "sketch" from a distant relative that shows his father to be a Corporal Nathaniel JOHNSON. Joshua died 11 OCT 1849 in OHIO and married Experience TIBBALS in 1813 in Haddam, CT. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
