If anyone recognizes these, or thinks they might be connected to this line, please contact me. My direct line is the son DAVID and I have included his children here. Thanks! Dorothy JACOB (?) JOHNS(T)ON and unknown wife had nine children, including the following six , all believed to have been born in NC. We don’t know the birth order, nor whether the remaining 3 children were boys or girls. At some time after 1801 the family moved to Horry County, SC, where Jacob and his wife died, probably before 1810. About 1821 most of the sons listed moved to Bibb and surrounding counties in Georgia. See details for each son, below.
