I simply picked number 1 which seemed like their official site. Under their various pages was one for history of Johnsburg. Started out by listing the first 3 families to settle there...one of them was Adams. From further reading it looks like Johnsburg & McHenry twp were pretty close. I looked thru 1900 census but found no Johnsburg. Maybe it wasn't separate then? I suppose you could try looking thru McH twp to see if they are in there. Another thought would be to try the present day library there or see if they have a local history person you could contact. Hope this helps Larry
