    1. [GACARROL] Johnston/Velvin Families
    2. Carole Johnson
    3. Dear List, I am trying to locate the burial site and/or death date of my husband's ancestor, Elizabeth Velvin Johnston. Elizabeth was married to Joseph J. Johnston who died at the Camp Douglas prisoner of war camp in Illinois during the Civil War. They had a number of children, including John T. Johnston who was only two at the time of Joseph's death. John married Susan Francis Richardson and they are both buried at Ramah Baptist Church in Palmetto. Family information is that John worshiped at County Line Baptist Church as a child. Yesterday I searched microfilm records of church minutes and found that an Elizabeth Johnson (without the "t") was a member of the church, but I think she was too early to be ours. The minutes were lengthy and difficult to read. There were not many recorded burials for this church that I could locate. Finally, my question, does anyone on the list have knowledge of this church and a possible burial place for Elizabeth? The only Velvin burial I can locate is Elizabeth's brother, John Jethro, who was buried at a Villa Rica cemetery. I have no knowlege of siblings for Joseph. Elizabeth probably died after 1880. Thanks in advance if anyone is able to help, carole
