He was born in Illinois in 1834. He married Massey Ann Davis on November 10, 1855. Massey died September 16, 1875 in Cold Springs Twp, Shelby County, Illinois. My Great Grandmother was one of their four children, she was Erminna Jane Johnston born in October, 1856. Francis then married Harriet E. Bowen Call (who had lost her husband, Joseph Call, on August 23, 1875) on April 3, 1877. They were married by E. A. McCracken in Shelby County, Illinois. Francis Marion Johnson served in the Civil War and died in Indian Territory, Sapulpa, Oklahoma on July 14, 1906. I cannot find his death certificate in Oklahoma because he passed away in Indian Territory the year before Oklahoma became a state. They told me there were not good records kept in that area at that time. I did find his grave and have a picture of the tombstone and also his Pension Papers from the Civil War. I would like know if anyone knows who his parents were so that I can continue researching the family. I appreciate any help anyone can give me.
