Went to Joliet Correctional Center (using name Frank Carson) Feb. 1929-?). This must have been the kidnapping charge. The Correctional Institutions identified "Frank Carson" as (Silvester)Graham O'Hara sometime after 1930, and his alias was no longer used. Again, I am not sure if he ever got out, but he was Sentenced 5/12/1939 for Murder, and was in the Joliet Correctional Center (under the name Graham O'Hara)until 8/1959,when he was paroled. He died in St. Louis in 1966, just months after his discharge from parole. I have no idea what crimes he commited to land him in jail for most of his life. I am not sure what information is available, either. I would be interested in learning anything I could about Frank Carson/Graham O'Hara. ALSO....my uncle asked if I could also inquire about a man named Lewis Flanagan, who was in Menard, Massac, IL prison from 5/1929 (when he was sentenced) or 3/1930 (when he actually came to the prison) until 1934. I am not sure what information your database holds, or what prisons you have access to the information. My uncle says this Lewis was in for Manslaughter. Thanks for your help...I hope I have answered your questions Lisa Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

The prisoner I mentioned was using an alias name of FRANK CARSON, although his given name was Silvester Graham O'Hara. He will be found under FRANK CARSON I do believe, but I would be grateful if you could check both names. Sometimes he dropped his first name and went by Graham O'Hara also. It will take a day or so to get the exact dates of incarceration, but I do have this information from the Census'for now: 1930 Census Joliet, Will, IL Prisoner, Frank Carson Single, 33 years old, born MO parents MO 1920 Pontiac, Livingston, IL Illinois State Reformatory Frank Carson , 23 , born IL (incorrectly indexed as Casson). Apparently he was convicted of several crimes throught his life, many of them I know nothing about. Silvester was born in 1896 and in jail in MO by 1917. He then went on to commit crimes in IL, spending most of his life in prison! He was one of 7 members of a gang that kidnapped a man named Thomas Gaynor and was in many newspaper articles April 9, 1932. I am not sure if the kidnapping took place in 1932 or 1928. If you are unable to locate anything with the above names, I will call my Uncle and get the exact dates for you. Thanks again for your time and kind offer!

His address was Plaza, Wash, Illinois. He gave his previous occupation as a farmer. However, he didn't do the necessary things, such as build a house, or cultivate the land, and his application was cancelled two years later. Hope this helps!

Johnson in the 1890 census for any state. The only Andrew is found in Alabama, middle initial "J." The page image is too faded to decipher anything. I found Andrew E (age 40, born in Sweden) and Annie Johnson in the 1900 (June 2) census, residing at 129 Cayuga St., Salinas City (3-WD Salinas) Alisal Township, Monterey County. They had four daughters and one son. I can only make out the name of one child, Amanda. Most of the page is very faint. I hope this helps.

I found out My Great Grand Father Andrew E. Johnson was married in California. I know he was married prior to 1890 to a Annie Adkins, he left there about 1903 to go to Benton Harbor, Michigan to become part of the cult called the Israelites. The place was called the House of David. He lived in Monterey County of California. All of his Children were born there. I know they were still there in 1900 so they must of filled a census form in 1890. It would help me with my search. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
