Can anyone else connect on this Johnson line?? Gaila Hi Ray and Harold, I have also included my cousins Sandra and Darien, This information is from Darien, my cousin on the Johnson, Schofield and Hatfield branches of my family. Maybe we can all work together and see who is Civil War's Young Johnson's parents. He lived with our Cousin William Reese Busbee in Macon in the 1860 census. So we thought they could be cousins. Our 3Great grandmothers were Lillian Busbee Johnson AND Charity Busbee Schofield, sisters to William Reese Busbee's father, James. There was also an older Young Johnson and we wonder if their was a connection there. Lets work together on this, Gaila ----- YOUNG JOHNSON (Older) Born @1790 CENSUS: 1830 - Bibb Co. 1 male 40 - 50 yrs; 1 male 5 or under and 1 female 5 or under 1840 - Bibb Co. 1 male 40 - 50 years of age. The following taken from the "Macon Messenger": Mar 1836: Young Johnson appointed guardian of William Young Smith, son of Gatsey Smith. (Gatsey could have been his daughter????) This could be the male in 1830 census, or could have been Young, Jr. as he was born @1829.)

He must have died Aug or Sep, 1845, as that is date of first petition for administration. "Administration - Bibb Co - Estate of Johnson, Young: Sept. 1845 Petition for Administration; Executor: William King, Successor, James Gates. Bond of $2,000.00. Return - Book C, pg 229.
