I am new to placing a request on a list, but after reading so many I am hoping that I do this right. I am looking for any information on the Arthur and Lucy Harmon Johnson family, specifically on Zachariah Johnson and son Silas Johnson, father of my ggrandfather Alfred Baker Johnson. My grandmother was Olive "Ollie" Jane Johnson who married Lewis James Whitmire in Wayne Co, IL. I have the family names but not much information on them and hope to add background to the family history. Thank you, in advance, to anyone who can help me with this quest.
