Flora, delighted to hear from you. I am the grandaughter of Theodore Augustus Johnson, great grandaughter of Elizabeth Covington Johnson, who was the daughter of James and Elizabeth Hill Covington. I am fairly new to genealogy, no one else in my family is doing any research and all I have to go on is my recollections of what I was told by my father and grandfather and what I have learned from the census records, and the Cherokee Co. marriage record of my great grandparents Jesse A. Johnson and Elizabeth Covington. Can't recall where the info came from but the cemetery record is where I learned that Hill was Elizabeth's family name and that she is buried in the Promised Land cemetery in northern Marion Co. AR. I grew up knowing about 'Uncle Mose' Coventon from my father and grandfather, and have found him in the AL census as well as CSA service in an AL unit. Other than 'Uncle Mose', I know nothing of the siblings of Elizabeth Covington Johnson, known to all of us in the family, her grandchildren and great grandchildren as 'Grandma Johnson'. My beloved Grandpa, T.A. Johnson, left GA in 1878 and always wanted to come back, perhaps that is why I moved to GA in 1995. I am eager to heari further from you and I will be most happy to share all of what little info I have.
