I am thrilled to announce that GenFest 2009 will be in Shelbyville, IN, hosted by the Shelby County Genealogical Society. Lynne King and I met with them in August to confirm their involvement and hear what they have planned. What a fantastic group and so full of wonderful ideas for the 2009 event. Shelbyville has the perfect set up with all their primary partners (Historical Soc., museum, library, etc.) located within a block of each other. They are busting at the seams with any amenity attendees will need to make a trip to GenFest 2009 worthwhile. I will be sending more details very soon, along with a website link so you can watch GenFest 2009 grow and begin making your plans early. More great news! GenFest 2010 is already in early planning stages and will be back in Muncie, hosted by the Muncie Public Library. As you know, they hosted our very first event and are eager to do it again. I owe them a big debt of gratitude for taking a chance on Mike's and my event.

Ellie: Jesse, Sr and Hannah Hadley Johnson had about ten children by my count; there may have been others. Jesse, Jr. and Elizabeth Chamness Johnson had twelve children by my count; there may have been more. Eli and Mary Cook Johnson had eleven--also by my count; there may have been others. Their father, John Johnston--note: spelled with a "t" in it (which the next generation dropped) married Elizabeth Elliston. I show them with only three children: Jesse Sr., Ruben and Joshua. (I'm sure there were others...) They resided in Orange County, VA. I do not have dates of birth, death, or much information about John/Elizabeth's parents. Since Jesse, Sr. was born in 1745 in Pennsylvania, my Johnsons must have migrated first to Virginia, then North Carolina before coming to Randolph County, Indiana. John's father was born in Blissfield Parish, Ireland in 1688 so that he may have been the ancestor who left Ireland for the Americas. (I'm not certain which one left Scotland for Ireland when the Johnston's were driven out of the Scottish border lowlands where they were "rievers.) His father, Edward, was also born in Blissfield Parish but I have no other information about him. Nowhere do I show an Ellen, but she could well have been the child of one of Jesse or Eli's children. At least Ellen is not in my direct Johnson line. I think there are must more Johns(t)on/es than Smiths or Jones on this earth... If I can be of further assistance, please let me hear from you.

What she has been doing is going through old messages that are on rootsweb and seeing if there needs to be more answers from her end. She is new to being on the internet, but she is learning very fast, and is doing great with it.
