Surnames: JOHNSON, TUCKER, TEFFT, BATTERSHELL, SCHWAB Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/lg.2ADE/1127 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on Horace C. Johnson, b. 30 June 1822 in Oneida, Madison County, New York. He came to Edgar County in 1837 with his parents and siblings. Horace married Mary Etta Tucker, b. 29 November 1828 in Bourbon County, Kentucky. Does anyone have any further information on his family? Horace and Mary Etta are my great-great grandparents thru their daughter, Clara Jane Johnson. She married my great-grandfather, Charles Grant Martin. They had four daughters, Irene, Helen, Velma and Audrey Evadna Martin(my grandmother). Velma died when she was very young of heart failure. Clara also died when the girls were very young. I believe she had a weak heart also. Audrey Martin married Frank Charles Schwab in Ray, Colorado about 1924. They lived in the Pawnee City, Nebraska area for several years, then moving to Humboldt, Nebraska. They raised 8 children, the oldest boy being my father. As of now, 7 of the 8 are still living. My father is the only one to have passed away as yet. Sometime in the early 1940's, the Schwab family moved to Syracuse, Nebraska, where Frank and Audrey lived the rest of their lives. I do know that Newberry Johnson and Sylvia Tefft are Horace's parents and that Kelly R. Tucker and Susannah Battershell are Mary's parents. There's not much on his side on the internet. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Marie Schwab-Sellers maries64@msn.com
