His wife is Margaret J Brannon in this picture. Here is a list of their children's names in the picture. All their children were born in Bradley Co., TN but the family or their parents settled in McMinn Co., TN first from NC and lived there about 15 years or so then the land grants opened up in Bradley Co., TN. So they moved over there. Daniel's brother Joel and his wife Elizabeth ? Had all their children in McMinn Co., TN. Then moved over to Bradley Co. About in the 1850's. Daniel and his wife moved over there in 1840's and started their family. LEFT TO RIGHT 1.

Well, I took the plunge and had the DNA test done. Got the results back last night. Family lore has long contended that our Johnson family was of Swedish origin, with the name originally spelled "Jonnson" I have not found any information to confirm or refute this family lore. I do have my family traced from myself, D. M. Johnson, to Delman Johnson of Indiana, to Grover T. Johnson (1892) of Lawrence Co., Indiana, to Elisha G. Johnson (1861) of Jackson Co., Indiana, to Stephen B. Johnson (1833) of Hawkins Co., Tennessee, to James T. Johnson (1800) of Hawkins Co., Tennessee, to Stephen Johnson (c1770) of Halifax Co., Virginia DNA results have me match on the 12-marker test (12/12 markers) with four others. Of the four - two indicate Scottish origins, one indicates Irish origins (possibly Scots-Irish???), and one begins here in the U.S. (Louisiana). One of the two with Scottish origins also matches me on the 25 marker test (24/25 markers). Also note that the two with Scottish origins have the surname Johnston vice Johnson. The search goes on...... Some interesting reading on Johnston: http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/htol/johnsto2.html Cheers, Michael Kent Island, Maryland

Johnson's Island is a Union POW camp in Lake Erie, north of Sandusky, OH. Supposedly it was for Confederate officers, but of course others ended up buried there as well.

I have the Houston Co Ga. genealogy books marriage, some cencus etc I would be glad to do look ups for anyone. My ggg-grandfather John Johnson [nicknamed Jack] lived there from the early 1830`s till he died in 1894. I have alot of information on him and his wife Lillian Busby Johnson. I`m sure I found John in the 1820 cencus in Lexinton SC but can`t find his parents I`ve been searching for Johns parents for along time by chance is anyone else searching for any Johnsons in the Houston, Bibb,Crawford co Georgia area?? Thank you Sandra

They lived in Laurel County, Kentucky. Rice Thomas was born 4 Nov. 1883 in Laurel County and died 15 May 1966 Castlewood, Russell County, VA. He was the fith child and fourth son of Lafayette Thomas and Elizabeth Jane Issacs. He is listed in the Laurel County 1896 school census District 27. I have not found him in the 1900 Laurel County Census. Rice and family are listed in the 1910 Census for Burnwell, Kanawha Co. WV. He and family are listed in the 1920 and 1930 Census for Dante, Russell County, VA. Della Mae Johnson was born 28 Feb 1889 in Elliott County and died 28 Feb 1957 at Dante, Russell County, VA. She was the third child and second daughter of Mason Lafayette Johnson and Ellen Haney. She is listed in the Carter County School Census for years 1896-1897. She is listed in the 1900 Census for Carter County, KY in her father's household. Rice Thomas was a Coal Miner in Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia. He told me that he started in Kentucky at the age of eleven. My mother and I both were born in his house at Dante, VA.

Here are a few odds and ends with the Johnson name. This is from the Harris County, Georgia, Court Records, Inferior Court Minutes, dated 1831, taken from the Harris County Tax Records; Book "1831 Tax Digest", page 7, of Capt. Warren's District. Benjamin Johnson -- 1 slave - 202-1/2 acres - Lot #189 - District 20 - Harris Co. Defaulters: William Read, John Johnson, Thomas Graham and Levi Daniel ********* REMEMBER - I KNOW NOTHING ELSE ABOUT THESE PEOPLE EXCEPT THEIR NAMES!!! ********* Okay, rather than type all these names, if you want to ask me about your particular Johnson being on this next list, I'll be glad to do the lookup. I have the "Mississippi Confederate Grave Registrations, A-L" by Betty Couch Wiltshire and I happen to have the Johnson's, of course, since that's one of my main lines. I also have the "Mississippi Confederate Pension Applications, H-O" by Betty C. Wiltshire, I can look up Johnson's in there, too. Sue (Johnson) Howard

Greetings: My JOHNSON research has hit a wall!! I am looking for any information regarding a Charles JOHNSON (b. abt. 1763 +/- 10, VA) and his wife Margaret COOPER. Charles JOHNSON, while supposedly having been born in VA, has proven to be very elusive. I have not been able to find anything regarding his parentage. Charles JOHNSON and Margaret COOPER had the following children: Bailey JOHNSON m. Ann MARTIN Nancy JOHNSON m. Joseph REASE (REESE) Margaret (Peggy) JOHNSON m1 (IL) Jacob (Peter) STORM m2 (IL) Jesse McCOOL m3 (KY) Shadrack DUNNING John JOHNSON m. (1817, Clark Co., IN) Millie BOWERS Catherine JOHNSON m. (1817, Clark Co., IN) Jacob D. ROE (ROWE) George H. JOHNSON m. (KY) Sarah SPENCE William JOHNSON m. (1827, Fountain Co., IN) Emily CLARK Mary Elizabeth JOHNSON m. (1825, Clark Co., IN) John SNOW Polly JOHNSON m. John ASBY (ASHBY) The father Charles JOHNSON was supposedly an early settler of Indiana and settled first in Fayette Co., IN. He according to family history was reported to have been born in VA. Any help on this family would be greatly appreciated. Best regards Clarence Lott (blood line descendant through my mother)

Does anyone have information on Johnsons who lived at Harper's Ferry? before 1800? Thanks Reba Johnson

Thank you for information regarding a Johnson/Gilbert connection in Maryland. I have an ancestor Gervais Gilbert in Maryland (who moved on to Virginia, then on to Kentucky!) Debby Jorgensen

I found this while looking at the Gilbert GenForum web site today: My 4th great grandmother Emily Ann Gilbert was born in South Carolina about 1790. She married John Ashley Johnson about 1815 probably in the Pendleton District, South Carolina and probably by a Baptist preacher. John Ashley Johnson's parents were John Johnson and Agnes Clark of Bedford Co., Virginia. The Clarks and Johnsons were prominent Quakers in Bedford Co. and before that in Louisa Co., Virginia. My dilemma is that I have never been able to find any information on Emily Ann Gilbert's ancestry. Since the Clarks and Johnsons left the Society of Friends (Quakers) in the 1780s and become Baptists, I wonder if there may have been Quaker Gilberts who might have done likewise. Emily Ann Gilbert had been married prior to her marriage to John Ashley Johnson. Her first husband was a Givens, first name unknown. Its possible the Gilbert and Givens families may have lived in a Quaker Community in South Carolina though were not Friends themselves. I welcome any information or suggestions. Please reply directly to my email address. Thank you. Gregory McReynolds Pasadena, California

I probably shouldn't say anything because this is not my family and I have no information directly related to this family. But maybe a thought along a general line as to age of childbearing in early America. As an example for this family the birth years for John, Arthur, and Andrew are probably in all cases highly unlikely to allow Margaret to have borne them as her children. She would have been about 12 when Andrew was borne. However, based on my own family, having a child at 16 was not all that unusual. I have at least two female ancestors who had their first child by 16 (both were married at 14). So based just on that, It could be possible for Margaret to have borne Jane, Sarah, and Mary. Just food for thought. Where documentation of marriage date is not available, in this early time we should not auto automatically assume the age at which a woman could have borne her first child as being closer to what we consider a proper age (eg 17,18 or 19). "And the same people list Margaret Phares as being born to John Phares II in 1736. This keeps her from being the Mom of all but the baby born to her after Arthur Sr. died. Her name was Margaret. A researcher some time back on the Johnson line in general said Arthur Sr was married at least twice before he married Margaret Phares. Research done on Arthur Jr says he was born "east of Va". He was b in 1747. If anyone knows Arthur Jr's mom please let us know. And if it isn't too much trouble and you have a web page please remove Margaret Phares as mom to the kids. John 1745 Arthur 1747 Andrew 1748 Jane 1752 Sarah 1753 Mary 1755" Thanks so much for letting me vent................
