Scotland,1760-1780 d. 1833 Near Frankfort, KY (This is all we have on him) He is my ggg grandfather - married to: Susannah Johnson, b. 1760-1780 m. 11-24-1795 in Madison CO., KY. They had 8 known children: 1. Elizabeth, b. 1790-1810, 2. *JOHNSON ROBERTSON, b. 1790-1810 in Madison or Bourbon Co. KY d. 02-19-1864 in Liberty, Clay Co. MO, m. **Polly A. Langston d. 03-16-1829 in Bourbon Co. KY Male descendants down to me: gggf., Johnson, ggf., Allan, gf., Harry , f., Raymond C. Robertson, myself, John William Robertson 3. ***Mahala, b. 01-02-1816 m. Henry Livingston in Bourbon Co. KY4. Mark, b. 1790-1810 5. Mary Ann, b. 1820 in KY, m. James R. Johnson 1839 in Versailles, Riply Co. IN 6. Solomon Rainey, b. 1790-1810 m.

KY ??) * Johnson Robertson is the one my line descends from. ** Polly’s parents are possibly: (We have no confirmation on these ) Father; Abraham Langston b. 1779 in Scotland? Mother, Isabella Clark b. 1778, Paris, Bourbon Co. KY? I think Polly A. had a sister named Mary Ann I am beginning to believe that Joseph may have returned to Scotland periodically, and it is possible that Susannah Johnson may also have come from Scotland *** I am also beginning to wonder if Susannah might be of Cherokee Indian descent, as the Johnson name is found among the Cherokee, and Mahala was a popular name for girls among the Cherokee, AND, Joseph and Susannah named one of their daughters Mahala! I find that the Scots often married among the Native American lines. I have not been able to find anything on Susannah, either. Any help or information will be greatly appreciated, and I share what I have on the family.
