    1. [JOHNSON] James Johnson
    2. I hope you guys can help me. I got all my original documentation together to prove DAR using James Johnson who was born in Virginia in 1753 (I have proved the relationship), first married an Elizabeth who died, along with 1st child, and was buried in Virginia. He moved after rev war to SC, then Georgia and was married to Martha Summerlin Colsin, who died in 1806. Their children are Thomas Jefferson Johnson, Barbara Johnson, who married Richard H. Thomas, and Evaline who married Josiah Everitt. James (died 1833) is buried at Pebble Hill Plantation in Thomasville, Georgia. The book, 'Pebble Hill, the Story of a Plantation" by William Warren Rogers states that James was a Captain of a Lunenburg Co., Virginia regiment. I specifically asked NARA for his records using those parameters and was sent the Rev. War service records. When I sent all my paperwork in to DAR, they replied that I had the wrong James Johnson. Can anyone help me identify the correct James Johnson? Mary Kate Kaufman Texas

They had 2 children together a daughter Anna Bell JOHNSON born Sep. 17, 1907, Orange, Franklin Co., MA. George was my maternal Grandmother's half-brother. I don't believe she ever met her half siblings. I would like to know if George ever married and if so who he married and if he had any children. I think I found George in the SSDI. It gives his date of death as Oct 1972, last residence Lynn, MA. Any suggestions or help would be most appreciated. Many thanks in advance. Cindy Donovan Truro, Nova Scotia

Ah, you've not seen my rant on spelling... Way back more than a century and then for centuries before that, spelling, reading, and writing were not universal skills. So clerks didn't ask "How do you spell that?" they wrote what they heard. And they wrote on expensive (rare) paper with expensive india ink that didn't erase well. So they didn't take corrections often. They heard according to their own heritage, so English clerks tended to put in the T, Scottish and Irish clerks to leave it out. Scandinavian clerks tended to spell Jonsson, Danish Johnsen or Jonssen. German clerks might thing Janssen, while Norman clerks thought Johnson. All for the same person. Spelling by hearing is just something we have to accept. Its not proof of a mislaid name or a change of family spelling when a clerk spelled it differently, its just proof that the clerk and we don't think the same spelling. Then if we are looking at a transcription of the original handwriting we depend on the transcriber's sense of spelling and vision. Its sure that handwriting never has had the consistent shapes of typed text and those transcriptions can be subject to interpretation. I've been doing an index for the Madison Count MO census of 1870 and there are lots of surnames where I have picked out half a dozen or more spellings. And I've seen one transcription of a church record done during WPA times where a very clear script David was transcribed as Daniel. One must remember that one of the principles of WPA employment was that lack of skill was not a hindrance to being hired. And so the WPA era transcriptions must be taken with a bucket of salt, a grain is far too little salt. I'm stuck chasing my Johnsons backwards in Kentucky. I find tax and census evidence in Christian Co KY (on the Little River) from about 1806 to 1810. They were definitely in Missouri in 1812 when David Johnson and wife Margaret joined the Bethel Baptist Church at Jackson by letter. They may have been in Logan Co from about 1798 to 1806 on the Red River if that David Johnson is the same. For sure with the many Johnsons about, just the name David Johnson isn't enough to separate them or to be sure they are the same family. When David died in 1823, in Cape Girardeau Co, MO, his estate listed offspring as Jonathan, Noble, Davis, William, Ransom, Constant, Sarah, and Willey Elmey (already deceased). In the 1830s and 40s Ransom and Constant were in Randolph Co, AR though Ransom's estate was probated in Madison Co, MO. Noble said he was born in SC (would have been in 1796) in the 1850 census and in NC in the 1860 census. He was missed or lost from the 1870 census, the reason I went through it so carefully. There are pages missing from that census and they apparently never made it to the census bureau because the township totals published in the 1873 census summary are exactly what is on the microfilm today. I'm planning to dig into church records in western Kentucky some of these days to see where that letter that they joined Bethel with came from. -- Dr. Gerald N. Johnson <[email protected]>
