This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Johnson, Cardwell, Mahaney, Keith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Fh.2ADI/5788 Message Board Post: Siblings Benjamin Johnson, John Johnson, Governor Johnson, and Hester Ann (Johnson) Cardwell reported to have moved from Jackson Co., TN to the state of IL sometime between 1862 and 1870. They were the children of David R Johnson and Edith E Mahaney. Records from the estate of their grandfather state they were residents of the state of IL in July 1871. Have no idea of the county name. Benjamin born circa 1836. Hester Ann born circa 1841. Daniel born circa 1838. James born 1844. John M born 1848. Not sure which son was called Governor. It would have been either Daniel or James. Benjamin was married and had two children by this time. His wife was Mary (Keith?) and their children were William and Hesterann. Any help finding traces of this family or a county in which to search would be greatly appreciated.
