Buddy--we have not corresponded in a while. I was glad to see your post. As you know, you and I are related a couple of ways. I assume you know this but I will put it in writing in case not: Andrew Jackson Ford was the son of John B. Ford (have you been to his grave?--it's in a pasture in the woods) and Docia Winkle. He was the brother of Catherine Ford Jennings, among other siblings. Catherine was the adoptive mother of my gr-gr-grandfather Robert Gentry. The Fords married in NC and moved to GA. Nancy Jane Cherry was the daughter of William Anderson Cherry and his wife Elizabeth Tucker. The Cherrys and the Tuckers were from Lincoln Co., NC. Nancy Jane was the sister of my gr-gr-gr-grandfather William Cherry (who was the father of Robert Gentry). This family is all buried at Macedonia as far as I know. Sarah Strickland was, of course, the daughter of Lazarus and Lucinda Potts Strickland. Lazarus was brother of my gr-gr-grandfather Andrew Jackson Strickland, whose first wife was Eliza Potts, sister of Lucinda. Lazarus & Lucinda are said to be buried at the Chelsea Cemetery--there are no markers for them. We believe Lazarus Strickland was a son of Simon Strickland, still lack concrete proof. Lucinda and Eliza Potts were daughters of Josiah and Sarah Graves Potts of the Iredelle/Rowan Co., NC area. I think you and I determined that your Johnsons and mine were two different branches. Look forward to hearing from you. Let me know if you have questions. Steve Strickland, 1039 Seven Springs Circle, Marietta, GA 30068
