Hi Lists: Me again. I'm just throwing my names out there in case anyone came on researching some of them. David Johns(t)on born 1788 in Georgia, David was a riverboat pilot and he died in 1852. He married Hanna Frederika Hoffman in 1840 b. 1821 in Germany d. 1896 in New Orleans, LA. They had one son named Alexander Henry Johns(t)on b. 1841 in Plaquemines Parish, LA d. 1869 in New Orleans, LA. Alex married Magdlena Keissel b. 1843 (?) d. 1898 in New Orleans, LA. They had 3 children: Walter Jarvis, Hanna Caroline, and David McCoy (b. 1867 d. 1919 in New Orleans, LA. My other brick wall is my Keissel's. Peter Keissel b. 1808 in Germany died ? married ? Catherine Clovak in Germany. Catherine was born in 1808 and died 1891(?) in New Orleans. They had 3 children: Catherine b. 1838 in Germany, Magdlena b. 1843 in Louisiana (?), and Jacob b. 1847 in Mississippi. I've found them in 1850 Harrison County, Mississippi Census and then nothing. I then found Maglena when she married Alex and in 1880 I found Jacob living as a boarder in a house in New Orleans and also found his obit in 1893 in New Orleans Times Picayune newspaper. Thanks in advance, Tami Johnston New Orleans, LA JOHNSTON/HOFFMAN/KEISSEL/HOERNER/ZWEIFEL/USNER/ELWELL/DOCLAR/WEISHEIMER/HUCKINS/ and many many more
