Lt. John Johnson married Katherine SKIPPER (b.ca 1638; d. 1708), widow of John Maverick and daughter of the Reverend William Skipper/Skepper. I would like to correspond with anyone researching this couple. Your response is appreciated. C. Ward CMW12635@aol.com

I am seeking information on Charles Johnson. He married a Lodema Williams in Idaho and they had six children. Later it was found out that he had another family in the Chicago area or in New York. He returned to them, only to return back to Lodema during his dying days and she nursed him until his death. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Pamela

As long as we're sharing..... I want ancestors with names like Rudimentary Montagnard or Melchizenick von Steubenhoffmanschild or Spetznatz Giafortoni, not William Brown or John Taylor or Mary Smith. I want ancestors who could read and write, had their children baptised in recognised houses of worship, went to school, purchased land, left detailed wills, had their photographs taken once a year (subsequently putting said pictures in elaborate isinglass frames annotated with calligraphic inscriptions), and with informative inscriptions on their well-preserved headstones. I want family members who wrote memoirs, enlisted in the military as officers, or served as schoolteachers, councillors, or town historians. I want kin who were patriotic and clubby, joined every local society they could find, who kept diaries, had paintings made of their houses, and who put a date on every piece of paper they touched. But most of all, I want ANCESTORS I CAN FIND!! (Unknown)

WHERE ARE THEY I WENT LOOKING FOR MY FAMILY WHERE CAN THEY BE. WHAT HAPPEN TO THOSE PEOPLE THAT WERE ANCESTORS TO ME. WOULD I FIND KING'S OR QUEEN'S OR PRESIDENTS TO BE? WHO WERE MY ANCESTORS DID THEY LOOK LIKE ME. THEY CAME IN SHIPS ACROSS AN OCEAN SO BLUE. TO FREE TO PRACTICE RELIGION FOR ME AND YOU. I KNOW THEY SUFFERED MILE AFTER MILE. BUT FINDING THEIR STRUGGLE WAS ALL WORTHWHILE. SO IF THEY ARE IN HEAVEN LOOKING DOWN ON ME. I HOPE THEY ARE SMILING BECAUSE I RECORDED THE FAMILY TREE. BY SHIRLEY GOODMAN GGGRANDAUGHTER OF CHARLES B. JOHNSON OF CUMBERLAND CO.ILLINOIS CUMBERLAND CO.ILLINOIS

The line that I have traced back the furthest was a Smith line. My six-times great-grandmother was Mary Smith. Her thrice-great grandfather Wyllam Smythe of Bowerbank made made his Will in 1587 in Barton Parish, Westmorland. Just play the hand that you are dealt.

I would like to correspond with any descendants of Edward Johnson (b. 1828 NY; d. 1897 Chillicothe, Livingston Co. MO) and his wife Catherine Bower Johnson (b. 1843; d. 1897). They had four children named Eliza, Orlanda, Callie and Frank. Thanks much, Patty Chiles chiles@showme.net

Ziposa-----------Has any one ever run across this name? Annette

Hello, I changed my ISP today. Here is my new e-mail address. crdonovan@tru.eastlink.ca Thanks, Cindy

While every one is on names. I have two Johnsons-Azel born 1763 and his son Azel born 1789 possibly in Mass. Has anyone ever heard of Azel? Maybe a Norse to English to American name? Thanks, John Upchurch

Because the Viking settlements in England were in the North, many surnames there end in -son. Not so in the South. My wife, born in London and raised in Essex, and known there as Glennis Ann Wainwright, searched long and hard in the records of London and Middlesex without finding an ancestor with a -son name. Eventually she found a great-grandmother named Sarah Cheese, baptized in Westminster, St. Ann's Soho, in 1824, whose parents, James Cheese and Harriet JOHNSON were married at Clewer, Berkshire, on 14 April 1819. Glennis wants you to know that she is the 'real' JOHNSON. Berkshire is due west of London, definitely in the South. JOHNSON is definitely a northern name. So how did it get there? James and Harriet apparently lived just across the River Thames in Taplow, Buckinghamshire. Clewer, just outside the gates of Windsor Castle, may have been a posh place to get married. Harriet Mary JOHNSON was baptized in Taplow 6 December 1795, daughter of James JOHNSON and Martha Brown his wife. At their marriage in Taplow on 30 July 1772, he was called James JOHNSON of Burnham. The age given at his burial in Taplow in 1832 would have him born about 1769. Burnham is a couple of villages east of Taplow. Glennis and I were in England for three weeks in May and June and as we were driving east on the motorway the day before we were to leave, we were passing Burnham and, just for the hell of it, turned in. We found the Burnham Library and perused their local-history section. We were there long enough to see that JOHNSON had been a name there of some significance. There was a Sir William JOHNSON of Burnham Grove. Of course we all know that the most fun way to do genealogy is to start with an ancestor that we would like to have and work down. Does anyone know anything about Sir William? Rock

Hello all, It has been a while since I have posted on here. I just found a new link. Does anyone have a James Johnson from Canada, married to a Josephine Laune, from NJ?? I just found out these are my great-grandfather's parents. I don't have any dates on them, only that my great-grandfather was born 27 January 1896 in Hoboken, Hudson County, NJ. Thanks for reading and checking..... Jill A fellow genealogist

Dear List, I am looking for information on Joseph Johnson married Eliza Mitchell, no birth, marriage or death dates on them. Joseph had a sister named Ester who married a Vick and moved to Texas. He had a brother named Jesse who also moved to Texas. Joseph and Eliza had at least 3 sons. John Mitchell Johnson b. Apr 14, 1854, married Mary Catherine Mashburn 1874, d. October 5, 1894. J. Charles Johnson b. May 29, 1864, d. Dec. 22, 1952, and married Martha Johnson. Frank Johnson married Melvina and had the following children Landrum, James Dire, Mile, Jeff, Bart, Bram, and Dove. John Mitchell and Mary Catherine's oldest child was Uriah Hairston Johnson b.July 19 1875 in Sweetwater, Tenn., married Frances Hedrick in Guntersville, Alabama, and died November 1962 in Gadsden, Alabama. Uriah is my ggrandfather, and he has a number of brothers and sisters, but I will not list all of them. If any of these people sound familiar let me know and I can supply more information. Thank you, Donna Johnson Bryan

I'm looking for information on William Johnson/Lizzie Basham, who lived in Kennett, MO, Holley Island/Howley Island, AR, and Pascola, MO at different times in the late 1800s/early 1900s. "Big Bill" or William Johnson had a railroad tie-making camp in Howley Island, AR, and later lived in the MO counties. He and Lizzy Bassham were from Crittenden County, KY. Some of the names of their children were Jim, Davie, Tempie, Lizzie, Rosetta, and Flora (?). His daughter Rosetta married Jim Bridges, and lived outside of Kennett all of her life. Any information is greatly appreciated. Dawnene Young

I am your newest subscriber. I have just read all the rules and I was delighted to see that we are here to have FUN! That's good because I have already found both of my JOHNSON ancestors. Dad was William Eugene Johnson born 5 August 1891 in Chicago. We all know that Chicago is in Illinois but, for Dad, Chicago was Chicago and Illinios was Illinois. Dad died in 1964. His dad was Chris, Christ, or Christian Philip Johnson born in 1853 in Denmark. I never knew Grandpa Johnson; he died in 1931, when I was a year old. We knew that he had taken the name JOHNSON when he came to America but there was much uncertainty in my generation as to what it had been in Denmark. Some said that it started with the letters "Bj-". In 1974 a cousin who lived in Illinois took me to see the family plot in Vernon Cemetery, near Half Day, Illinois. I was surprised to see a stone inscribed "Peter Johnson, b. 1815 d. 1889" on the one side and "Karen Johnson, b. 1820, d. 1893" on the other. I had never been told that my great-grandparents had come to America. In 1995, while researching in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, I discovered Grandpa's hometown in Denmark. Knowing his birthday, I quickly found that he had been baptized Hans Philipsen Christian, that his father was Jørgen Pedersen, and that his mother was Karen Rasmusdatter. That made Grandpa "Hans Philipsen Christian Jørgensen". So he had shortened it. Jørgen Pedersen's father was Peder Jensen and Peder's father was Jens Neilsen. So much for surname research in Denmark. Jørgen Pedersen and his wife had come to America in 1874 after three of their sons, who had gone to sea, had already established themselves there as JOHNSONs. So it would seen that they were just taking the family name. It took me about three years to identify 90 direct ancestors born in Denmark. (Grandma Johnson was also Danish.) Never in that time did I see the name "John" in a Danish record. Conclusion? John is not a Danish name. I would go further to say that it is not a Scandinavian name. To the extent that it may be found in Scandinavia, I suspect that it had been transplanted from England. I guess that that is enough fun on that subject for now.

What is wrong? I try to answer e-mails and nothing happens. I have tried the IL marriage's. Frank Barnes Johnson, Whiteside Co., married Mattie Warner.(I believe this must be my Frank,however, dates do not make sense). Mattie is buried in Ohio, Frank Barnes Johnson married my grandmother in 1880 in IA. I wonder if Frank just Left Mattie, went to IA, met my grandmother and they connected! Help if you can! Jan
