Hello June Well i dont think its anything to do with this family ,,,,,My Thomas Johnson wasnt married to a Sarah ..... They originated from a Clarke family in Edinburgh,,,,,,,in the 1700's married into the Johnston family ,,,,,,moved to Yorkshire, ,,,and then moved to Stockport , changing the name somewhere along the line to Johnson ,,,before Thomas moved into Chesterfield, Some of your surnames fit , but i dont thinkk there is a connection , Maureen ----- Original Message ----- From: "June Vasey" <junev@aberl.fsnet.co.uk> To: <ENG-DERBYSHIRE-CHESTERFIELD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 23, 2004 10:47 PM Subject: Re: [Chesterfield] Johnson Interest > Hello Maureen > > My Thomas Johnson of Old Brampton near Chesterfield was born > approx 1750 -76.
