Kinsey JOHNSON married Rebecca E. SIMMONS in 1858 in Randolph County. Her father was David SIMMONS and her mother was Sarah BROWN who was born in TN abt. 1803. Who were parents and siblings of Sarah? Who were siblings of David? Her grandfather was Levi SIMMONS and her grandmother was Rebecca. What was this Rebecca's maiden name? Who were parents and siblings of Levi? Some of Levi's children were born in Maine and others in Georgia. Can anyone supply more SIMMONS information? Kinsey JOHNSON was the son of Brinkley JOHNSON from Sussex County DE. Who was Brinkley's father and siblings? When did Rebecca die and how did she die? After Kinsey's death, two of her three children were raised by Kinsey's sister, Sarah HINDMAN. What happened to little Sarah JOHNSON who was born abt 1859? Family lore has Kinsey dying with a connection to the Civil War, but I can find no record of his service, although I do find records for his two eldest sons, Richard Duke and James McKinsey. The story also has his sister, Sarah, going somewhere to bring him back to Randolph County, but his probate file contains bills for his final medical care and expenses. Can anyone shed light on this?
