Lorene, I read your note on John Johnson. My grgreat grandfather was a John Johnson who was born in TN around 1820 and married Elizabeth Parmer and had children in Arkansas, one of which was George Washington Johnson b.1850/1851 in Ark. There were 4 siblings: Elizabeth, John, Anderson, and William--the last 2 born in TX. I do not know the grgreat grandfather John's parents names but according to the 1860 census of Milam Co., TX he was 46 yr. old and his wife was 36 yrs. She was born in AR Do you have any knowledge of this family? Thanks, Nadine ************************************** See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004)

Hi Lists: Again I am looking for fellow researchers who may be researching my line. I have been able to get a little further back than I was a few months ago. Here is a little background on my infamous David Johns(t)on also check out my family web page at www.johnstonfamily.tribalpages.com David Johns(t)on born 1788 in Georgia (Will states Wilkinson County, but I know that couldn't be). He was a riverboat pilot on the Mighty Mississippi River. In 1840, he married Hanna Frederika Hoffman in New Orleans, Louisiana. They resided in Plaquemines Parish (minutes from New Orleans). In 1841, their son Alexander Henry Johnston was born. In 1852, David died in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. Given the age at David's death and marriage to Hanna chances are he probably was married before. I have 2 possiblities to whom. And chances are he had other children, but none are listed in his will. Thanks for reading & Happy Holidays to all.

I am looking for the father of Rice Johnson of Pineville, Kentucky. Some people have him listed as being born in Ohio in 1817, I have not been able to find him in Ohio. However, I have found a Rice Johnson from Virginia around about the same time. Rice married Phebe Howard and I have their children but can not find his father. I do not know any of his brothers or sisters and have hit a brick wall. Any one that could help me would be greatly appreciated.

Of course you have to be very careful of any information provided by individuals on their ancestors, family oral history being what it is but if you go to their library section you can order microfilms that have PHOTOGRAPHS of actual probate records, deeds, etc. Those are surely to be trusted. I have ordered films of church records in Mexico and found my baptism and confirmation records photographed from the church's record books. Everything was accurate. Just remember to verify for yourself anything found in the SEARCH section. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Johnson" <tonyempireore@msn.com> To: "Johnson-L" <Johnson-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2007 4:12 PM Subject: [JOHNSON] Dr. Lorrand > Cousins" when I first started genealogy I met a man that was a > professional genealogist......he was related to the Hollands of Franklin > Co., Tn, which at the time I thought were our Hollands.

I second what Mary said!! I suspect that the Daniel Johnson in Cumberland might be related to Michael's line, but am not sure how--- no proof! Michael's son Daniel dated his Goochland Co. will 1754 and mentioned brother James Johnson and sons John and William and daughter Ursely Wood. I'll try to get together some data about them and send, but right now we are in the middle of final exams. Bonnie Flyhte Tony, This is from one of Harold's papers on Michael's sons. Note the John in red bold. Cheers!! Lee Now the rest of this report will deal with Michael Johnson and presenting what we believe to be reasonable evidence that identifies six of his sons! At this point we have been unable to place them in a correct birth order, however the list as presented here is an attempt to do so. Bear in mind that this order is subject to change! Daniel(1), John(2), James(3), Isaac(4), Joseph(5), and Benjamin(6) The first record we see of Michael Johnson in Henrico Co is 1714, 25 Dec! Thomas Mims.....500a.. (N L)...Henrico Co; on the south side of the main branch of the Tuccahoe (Cr); adj. Wm Burton; Benja Woodson; Michael Johnson...Pat bk 10, page 217, paid 50 S. The reader is asked to look ahead at the year 1717, Jan 22 where Michael Johnson records a land patent of 500a! (N L) Henrico Co; on the S. side of the main br. of the Tuckahoe Cr; adj. Benja. Harrison's survey; John Woodson's Mill Cr; and Thomas Mim's land. Paid 50 shill. Book 10 pg 345. This area is now in Goochland County. Now, the question is, how could the above Thomas Mims patent be described as joining Michael Johnson land when Michael did not patent his land until 1717? The answer may well be that Michael Johnson, after applying for a land patent and while waiting for a survey to be completed, decided to proceed to settle the land prior to the issuance of the actual patent!. Now, the rule was that a settler must clear at least three acres of land and be living on the land in some sort of shelter at the end of three years. Clearly, three years has passed from the above mentioning of Michael Johnson's land to the date of the Land Patent dated 22 Jan 1717! Less than six months later two of Michael's sons patent land adjoining him! 1718, July 12. John Johnson(2)...400a (N L) Henrico Co; on the N. side of James Riv. adj. Cha. Eavens; on the N. side and near head of Tuckahoe Cr; his own, James Johnson; and Michael Johnson. Paid 40 shill. Book 10 pg 380.! And then 1718, July 12. James Johnson(3)....400a (N L) Henrico Co., on the N. side of James Riv. adj. Cha. Eavens; John Johnson; Joseph Woodson; and Benja. Woodson. Paid 40 shill. book 10 pg 380. Notice how these three tracts are adjoining! This will be important later! Thirteen months later, John(2) and James(3) were in court proving an inventory their father's estate! 1719, Aug, 22.... Michael Johnson...Inventory..of Estate.. "Recorded in a court held for Henrico County the fifth day of October 1719, John(2) and James(3) Johnson presented this Inventory upon oath which was thereupon written to record...Test..Henry Wood, Dep .There is record that Michael left a will as noted in son John's(2) will, but we have not been able to find one. Taking the children in order: Daniel Johnson(1) married Agnes (?). He died before 21 May 1754 with a will naming wife Agnes, son William, son John, daughter Ulsy Wood. He appointed his brother James Johnson(3) and his son William Johnson and his son John Johnson executors . Wit: James Johnson(3), Moses Brumfield, Joseph Johnson(5). Recorded Goochland Co. May 21, 1754. Book 6 page 369. Take note here that Daniel(1) names his brother James(3), also witnesses James(3) and Joseph(5)! The proof that Daniel(1) is Michael's son will be found in James's(3) profile! William son of Daniel(1) married Elizabeth Hutcheson c 1747 and in 1761 sold his inheritance in Goochland County and moved to Lunenburg County. John son of Daniel(1) remained in Goochland County. I have been unable to identify, with certainty, what became of Ulsy that married a Mr. Wood! Now, in Daniel's will he leaves the rest of his land to his wife Agnes, and after documenting and accounting for all of his land named in the will we find that there was a significant amount of land left over! This we believe was land that Michael left to his sons as stated in John's(2) will! John Johnson(2) married Mary Pledge an seen in her father's will of 1720, Nov 22, John Pledge, Henrico Co. VA. to daughters Agnes Pledge, Martha Pledge, Judith, Ann Pledge, and Mary now wife of John Johnson(2), Abstracted by Benjamin B. Weisiger III, Colonial Wills of Henrico. John(2) died 1750 in Goochland Co. with a will naming wife Mary, sons Daniel, John, Joseph, and James! John(2) also names his brother Isaac and a Stephen Benjamin Johnson! This naming of Isaac as one of John's(2) brothers here is significant as evidence is gathered to prove Michael as father of John(2)! We find that sons Daniel and Joseph and perhaps James stayed in Goochland and surrounding counties. Son John is a mystery, for two years after his father's death he sells his inheritance and that's the last record we have of him! John(2) in his will left the rest of his land to his wife Mary, and after documenting and accounting for all of his land named in the will, just as with his brother Daniel(1), a significant amount of land was left over which we believe was land that Michael left to his sons as stated before! The wife of James(3) the elder is not known. However, his known children are, Agnes, d c1802, Drury md Hannah Clark, Sarah md Stephen Sampson, James, the younger, md Mildred Mims, Mary md Bartholomew Turner, David md Lucy Ellis, Isham d before 1798, and Benjamin md Martha Hughes. Records show that James(3) the elder died after 1787 indicating that he lived longer that any of his brothers! In tracing the land records of James(3) the elder we find that he also had land that was handed down to him by his father Michael! This is noted in a deed 1757, Jan 4.....Deed...200a.. James Johnson and Mildred his wife to William Harves (Harris) and Tabitha his wife of Hanover Co for 11 pounds "being part of a tract of land taken up by Michael Johnson, grandfather of said James Johnson" bounded by Tuckahoe Creek. Wit; Isaac Sheppard, W'm Miller, John Hughes, James Tompkins, William Graves. Mildred relinq. her dower right. Deed bk 7, pg 140.[From the files of Bonnie Flythe]. Notice the acreage, 200a! And notice the amount paid to William Harves, 11 pounds! This would indicate perhaps James' brothers and sisters may also be a part of this transaction! But the most important bit of information here is the naming of Michael Johnson as a grandfather! Now other records and the land description here places this 200a plainly in the area of Michael's land grant of 1717! So, we now have James(3) the elder identified as son of Michael! And because in Daniel's(1) will he names James(3) as his brother, Daniel(1) is also identified! Moving on to Isaac(4)! In 1747 we find a land patent issued in Brunswick County to Isaac Johnson(4) and Joseph Johnson(5) of 400 acres on both sides of the Middle Fork of the Meherrin River! As it turns out, the Joseph Johnson mentioned here is Isaac's(4) brother! In 1755 Joseph(5) patents an additional 400a adjoining their first tract! Meanwhile, after the first patent and before the second patent Lunenburg County has been formed from Brunswick County and now both tracts lie in Lunenburg! We have not researched Isaac's(4) family in Lunenburg. But records show in Goochland that he came back to sell the land that his father (Michael) left him. 1756, Jan 19....Deed...Isaac Johnson(4) of Looningburg Co, for 100 pounds 150a to John Johnson of Goochland Co, being on the south side of Tuckhoe Creek bounded by Benj. Johnson(6) decd, Daniel Johnson(1) decd, and John Johnson(2) decd and Moses Brumfield on Tuckahoe Creek. Except the graveyard where Michael Johnson, his wife and child is buried...Mary, wife of Isaac Johnson relinq. her Dower right. .Deed book 7, pg 59 wit: William Miller, Daniel Johnson(12) and Wilmanton Harris. Recorded 20 Jan 1756.. This is convincing evidence that Isaac(4) is the son of Michael! Now remember, in John's(2) of 1750 he names Isaac(4) as a brother and mentions Stephen Benjamin believed to be the son of Benjamin Johnson(6)(now deceased)! Now to Joseph(5)! We have indicated above that Joseph(5) moved away to Lunenburg by 1747. He also returns to Goochland to sell his inheritance. 1759, Oct 13, Deed.....200a.....Joseph Johnson(5).. of Lunenburg County to John Laprade of Goochland County for seventy one pounds five shillings; lying in Goochland County upon Dover Mill Creek adjoining the lands of Robert Burton, John Barnett, Daniel Johnson and corners on Richerson, having been willed to the said Joseph Johnson(5) by his father Michael Johnson Wit: William Wodlow, John Watkins, Stephen Sampson and Miller Doged. Rec. Book 8, pgs 62-63-64. Feb 19, 1960. . This deed speaks for it's self! Joseph(5) died before 3 Mar 1761 for we find his will in Lunenburg County recorded on that date, leaving wife Mary, son Mical, son Isaac, dau Sarah, dau Mary Winningham, son David, dau Ann md Stephen Wood, son Joseph, Susannah md -?- Hudson, dau Elizabeth, dau Isley and dau Charity. Bk 2 pg 28. Of all of Michael's sons Stephen Benjamin(6) is the more difficult to figure out. If we go back to Isaac's(4) profile we see that the deed description here names a Benj Johnson dec'd. We also find in 1744, Aug 21. Benjamin Johnson(6)...Inv. & Appr.....Goochland Co. Deed book 4 pg. 405. Apparently he died before selling the land he inherited from his father Michael! To support this there is in 1763, Jan 15........Deed...150a..Benjamin Johnson, John Barnett and Agness Barnett to Elisah Leek...Goochland CO...For 120 pounds VA money on Tuckerhoe Creek joining the lands of Benjamin Woodson, William Webber, John Laprade and the lands of Moses Brumfield. Wit: Benj. Woodson Jr., William Hodges, Joseph Johnson and John Johnson rec. 19 April 1763. Now, note here the land adjoins Moses Brumfield and then turn to Isaac's(4) profile where his land also joined Moses Brunfield! Researching the other adjoing land owners also confirm this fact! Now, the Benjamin Johnson named in the deed above is apparently the son of Stephen Benjamin(6), and Agness could be his daughter. In conclusion, the way things look to me is that Michael gave each of his sons 200 acres except Isaac(4) & Benjamin(6) who received 150 acres each! That totals out to be 1100 acres! That's a lot of land! We know he patented 500 acres but that leaves 600 acres undocumented! The reader is urged to go back and read John's(2) where additional land is referred to as a 'first tract". Perhaps future research will solve this puzzle!

Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2007 6:26 PM Subject: Re: [JOHNSON] Johnson family of Cumberland Va Everyone, I'm going to cut to the chase here .... Mary is absolutely correct -- this is the source for Michael's parents being Edward & Elizabeth (Walker), Dr. Arthur JohnsTon & Barbara Gordon .... on back to Stephen or Matilda (or both! I can't remember now which.) I have a copy of a beautiful chart that takes the several lines of Edward et al back to all the European Royalty and then some. Before you ask, it's four or five pages "sideways" long (too big to scan) and besides, I'm not sure where it is. The info on Edward and Dr Arthur Johnson most likely came from the book "The Ancestry of William and John Johnston Colonial Firends (Quakers) of Virginia An Account fo the Connections fo the Family of Johnston of Caskieben, And Of That Ilk, Of the Garioch, Aberdeenshire, Scotland" by Lorand V. Johnson M.D. When I began researching Christopher Clark / Penelope Johnson (or Massie or Bolling -- BUT I think she really was a Johnson), I was loaned a copy of this book. It's nothing more than a "scrapbook" put together of pages he carefully cut out of published works. I'm convinced some, if not most, are legitimate, but he carefully removed most page numbers, almost all titles / chapter headings at the top of the pages, and much to my frustration -- ALL footnotes to the text. There's no way one can go back and search for the individual books. He also offers no support for connecting the generations -- no real problem there -- it's Edward as son of Dr. Arthur (proven wrong) and Elizabeth as a Walker where I'm stuck. The Quaker letter Mary mentioned is supposedly located in a very obscure book -- congratulations Mary on locating a copy of it! It took several of us years to locate one. I'm aware three others have also looked for the letter within the book located at the Library of Congress: a professional researcher, a retired librarian and an archivist at the LC. The letter Dr. Lorand quotes as proof Edward in New Kent Co was an unknown son of Dr. Arthur JohnsTon of Scotland is truly not there. Need I mention that Dr. Arthur was supposedly a royal physician and also a Poet Laureate for England and also transcribed some poem from Latin to English? I have a saying: If a person is someone everyone would like to see on their tree, he probably isn't mine. So far it's working perfectly for me. I'm not yet ready to get off my soap box: We've discovered by comparing microfilmed copies of the original Quaker records that Dr. Lorand "doctored" some of the JOHNSON entries published in Hinshaw's massive work on the Quaker records. Dr. Lorand's reputation as a Johnson researcher "this side of the ocean" might be deserved. I personally haven't followed behind him except for Edward's family -- which I thought was Daniels when I began my research. [But that's another story -- and DNA hasn't proved it false yet! There's no known male descendant from Edward. The only documented son had only a "documented" daughter.] Sorry I digress easily .. The scenario we've put together from letters, Hinshaw apparently asked Lorand for help in sorting between all the Quaker JOHNSON families. When they were completed, transcribers sent their work to Lorand who placed them into family groups and Hinshaw then published as Lorand said. We suspect Lorand is the one who changed the name of the wife of Quaker John Johnson of New Kent / Hanover Co. from "Elizabeth" to "Lucretia." Someone changed it from Elizabeth (I'm told it's very clearly written in the original Quaker records as Elizabeth several times) and no one else had a reason -- "Lucretia" better fits into his story. I forget the details. Thus, since we are all JOHNSON researchers, I add Hinshaw to the list of things one needs to double check before assuming the transcription is correct. My assumption is, Dr. Lorand was only interested in Johnson, and then probably only in the one family. But that "family" includes Michael, Edward and the various Quakers. That takes in about half the Virginia bunch, doesn't it? DNA and good old-fashioned research in actual records is the best way / only way of sorting these guys. Now I'll retreat back into looking at Jacksons of Henrico Co. I'm not sure which surname is worse? But Tony I will say Thanks to you and whoever contributed it, the discussion of the WARD family in the Elizabeth City doc. was a great help today! Happy holidays everyone.

Cousins" when I first started genealogy I met a man that was a professional genealogist......he was related to the Hollands of Franklin Co., Tn, which at the time I thought were our Hollands. We talked a long time and one of the most impotrant things he told me was to be very wary of LDS records. He said if there was not PROOF ....wills, deeds estate records etc. to NOT trust them, and if there was proof to double check, and verify them myself to be sure it was accurate......that a lot of people just made stuff up and put in the LDS records......sad, but I have found his warning to be true. Most of the info on their sites does not offer any proof. If I find something I use it for "clues" to see if it is really true. He sent me back to Bedford Co., Tn where I finally found our Hollands. Everything he told me turned out to be true. Just wanted to warn you about the LDS records. I know they do good work, but some of the info on their sites is just dead wrong. The info on Edward and Dr Arthur Johnson most likely came from the book "The Ancestry of William and John Johnston Colonial Firends (Quakers) of Virginia An Account fo the Connections fo the Family of Johnston of Caskieben, And Of That Ilk, Of the Garioch, Aberdeenshire, Scotland" by Lorand V. Johnson M.D. there is a copy in the Chattanooga Library. He did a lot of research, but some of the "proof" he mentions can not be found.....for instance he uses a letter supposedly in the Quaker records of London, and I have looked at everyting on line and emailed the place where their records are kept....got an answer back that no such letter was there......soooooo we have to be VERY VERY careful with this Johnson bunch to get ours right !!

Hello, I have new information on my Johnson family. First, the name on death certificate, for father was not correct. It says Dilren it should say Decker. The mothers name was spelled Demerius, on marriage record it is spelled Demaris.I have seen Demaris spelled a few ways. My John Lee Johnson had a daughter named Sallie Demaris Johnson. So I feel the info I found this morning is correct. I am hoping with the correct spellings, someone will recognize the family. I also want to thank Tony for sending the 22 page document. Someday I might be able to make a connection, to my Johnson line. I appreciate each and every one of you, who took the time to read this.

Hello Everyone, I have been looking for some time for my John Johnson. Today I got the info I wanted (feels like Christmas came early). I got a copy of his death certificate. His parents were Dilren and Demerius Taylor Johnson from Cumberland County Va. My John Lee Johnson was born June 2, 1825, according to his death certificate. I just had to share. If anyone on this list knows these Johnson's, I sure would like to hear from you.

Hi Everyone, I just looked at a section of the Smyth Co. Va. 1860 census and the John Johnson I am trying to find info on is listed as John Johnston with a "T", 63 years old. I only have a partial piece of the census so I don't know if it tells where he was born. I am trying to figure out why he is living with James C. Smith and family. I did find a John Johnston who married Lydia Smith 11 Sept. 1843 in Smyth Co. Va. I suspect maybe he might be a brother-in-law, but only a suspicion, I have no facts at all except what I have posted.......Thanks ............Bob

It's been a while since I posted, so I will give my info again. I am searching for the country of origin for my line; believed to be Scots-Irish. If anyone recognizes any of this info, please let me know. Sampson Johns(t)on b. circa 1768 NC 2nd m. Martha molphus 1830 GA Levi Johnson b 1805 GA m.

Hello to both lists, Comments on the handling or care of books or other materials. Back for some months there was discussion among some people on the Muhlenberg list on the exchange of books, & how to do it. I believe you'all dropped it in favor of keeping your books, but agreeing to do lookups. Beautiful. Don't ever give up your books, even to friends. Amen. Except at death, will them to a caring library that has a well known Genealogy Section. Background. I am a retired Rotogravure Press Operator & Offset Pressmen. Among a few jobs I once was a supervisor on the monthly printing of National Geographic Mag. For many yrs. we lived in CA.(San Fernando Valley where for awhile I was Head Usher of a large independent Baptist Church(10,000 plus members)and among many things turned in at the close of Sunday services were many bibles over the years. I believe many were simply stolen, used for awhile, then left in the pews with the front ID pages cut from them. As a rule bibles not taken, were those who had their name embossed on the front covers. How can this all happen? Even your so called 'good people' have 'sticky fingers' when it comes to borrowing, stealing, etc. good books. I'll bet you any good library will tell you that since they now 'tag' books' they don't disappear as often. Conclusion. It's better to do some look ups for folks, rather than doing 'exchanging' You'll feel better about it in the long run. Amen Regards from Clark Hime of sunny Folsom, CA
