Dick, Yes, John Anderson Johnson married Sarah Arabelle Dyar. >>Who were the 12 children of Elizabeth and Robert? I have a note in my records that the youngest son of my 3rd ggrandfather (Lewis David Johnson,1807-1882) John A. Johnson (1856-1950) married Sarah Arabelle Dyar (1859-1935).<< Here they the 12 children you asked for. Gordon's great-grandparents are MARY SUSANNA DYAR, b. August 16, 1848, and AARON FISCUS, b. February 09, 1839. Most of this comes from the research of cousin Dixie Greenwood Richardson. If anyone has any corrections or additions to this family, we would appreciate knowing.
