Thank you for your prompt reply. None of your names included here are familiar to me. However, I think I remember in some of my research a note that Perrymans were in Twiggs County, Georgia before moving on to Haralson County, Georgia. I have been unable to find my Marcus Perryman prior to Haralson County until I found about a year ago a record of his marriage in Fayette County. I would love to continue back with this family and keep everything I can get on Johnsons in case I ever do get a hint of a connection. I don't have much time for my own research since I got involved with my local genealogy society in 1990 and in 2000 volunteering to help prepare loose court records of our county to be microfilmed by the LDS. I know what you mean when you say not many people answer back on the Johnson-Johnston lines. There are just so many different lines of these surnames. This is one time that DNA testing will have to be the answer of connections. Good luck in your own searching. Just remember that your helping others does return to you so maybe that particular connection will happen someday.
