Alice, I can't remember the name of the JOHNSON book, but somewhere among my stacks of papers, I have a few pages from it. I'll try to locate them. >> Do you have any additional information about these Johnsons ? << They were a prominent family of the Wake Co., NC area, and owned lots of land. Somewhere in my records, I have a copy of an old Wake Co., NC map that showed which land they and others owned. Most of the Deeds from Wake Co., NC from the 1770s to 1832 were burned.

It certainly sounds as if there MUST be a connection with the way those given names seem to agree. I would love to locate a copy of the book about these Johnsons that you mentioned. Do you happen to recall the name of the book ??? Do you have any additional information about these Johnsons ??? I would really appreciate any additional clues that you might be able to give me. Thanks again, Alice ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access! Try it today - there's no risk!
