Michael, I'm curious on how you don't know anything about your James Johnson, but thru DNA you found out who he's not a descendent of? How do you eliminate or find a distant ancestor thru DNA? Is it strictly a male gene or can a female gene work?

I am very busy caring for an ill husband but am more than happy to save Tony's emails to go through later. (Thank you for all your trouble, Tony.) I have a suggestion for those of you who find it painful to read every word of each email when a list comes through like that. Use your FIND feature on EACH email. Choose TEXT and type in a key word that would help to isolate your own Johnson. I chose In for Indiana. It pulled up every "in" in each email but was quick and easy to locate any Johnson who had any mention of Indiana - ours. It's not fool proof but VERY helpful. Shirley Indiana
Its been a while since I've posted my tree, but I read all the emails that come thru.......or scan them for the names I have. Which sadly is not many :) I am looking for my Great Grandfather's parents & any other info. on them..... All I know is........ James Samuel Johnson wife Nancy Worth(y) no dates no nothing, other than they were in Mo. & might have been in Illinois Children: My great grandpa: James Jefferson Johnson "Jeff" born. 1865 Tipton, Moniteau Co., Mo. d. 1943 Chelsea, Okla. he was first married to Georgia A. ? they divorced in Pawhuska, Okla. in 1898 supposedly had 2 kids, a boy & a girl. then he married Martha Jane "Mattie" Phariss in 1899 (I might have the years off) they had 11 kids & 1 foster son, they married in Pryor Creek, Okla. James' brother: William Ballard Johnson b. 1870 Illinois d. 1915 unknown. Story goes that James Jefferson was dumped on the side of the road at 12 or 16 as his parents decided he was old enough to take care of himself so he disowned his parents from that point on. And let me tell ya.....he hasn't listed them anywhere. The names were given to my dad by his grandma (Martha Jane).And she relayed the story to him. Now according to his daughter's (1 still alive) he had a couple of sister's along with a brother, but I haven't been able to verify it. His daughter's said that his sister's had the same names as they did. Its possible......but no one has been able to verify it at all & I haven't found any other proof. Now on his first marriage....based on his divorce journal decree it leads me to believe that she might have been Kaw or Pawhuska, Indian & another cousin said she remembered a brown skinned mean lady. But I don't believe in that as no one knew that he had been married....at least not that they admitted. James Jefferson's son from his second marriage Floyd Allen Johnson went by Cotton was said (by his daughter) to have been in contact with one of the kids from the first marriage. No one will share anymore info. about them (I think mainly because those I'm asking don't have a clue as to whom I am). I have info. on the second marriage & children, but nothing on the first marriage/kids & nothing on his immediate family. James Jefferson Johnson also served in the Spanish American War (I have some info. on that) his "emergency" contact was Mrs. Rogers Alli :)

One other suggestion to those who are unhappy with all of the helpful info. info. from Tony.......block him from going into your inbox. Then you won't ever have to worry about seeing his message.....that'd probably even work for those on digest, I haven't tried it. Yes, maybe in the future Tony could add the surnames to the subject line, but in the mean time.......I am thankful that he's taken the time to post all of the info. he has. I started transcribing info. for another area of genealogy I do, but seeing all of the ungrateful people posting complaints on this list (instead of directing to the listowner) & not seeing them even post their own "lost" ancestor. Does not encourage me to share anything I transcribe......course it wouldn't be for here, so we'll see how others are. :) But in the mean time.......I'm blocking all of the complainers, as I don't have time to open blank subject lines or complaints....won't help me find my lost Johnson's any faster :) Alli ----- Original Message ----- From: <Leader745@aol.com> To: <JOHNSON@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2007 10:25 AM Subject: [JOHNSON] Thanks Tony >I appreciate all of the hard work that Tony has done to get this >information > out to us.

An ingrate? How rude of you! I don't have the time to open every e-mail from Tony to see if maybe it might be a connection. Some of us do have to work for a living and genealogy is a hobby. If he takes all the time to post 40 e-mails at once then he has the time to put something in the subject line other than just Johnson. He could be a little more considerate for those of us who don't have all the extra time to open them all. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who isn't happy with this. But calling people names, I never did that. I'm not going to give you a pity story as to what I do everyday because that's not what this is about. Most of us are busy people with busy lives. No, I don't contribute to the list. My great grandfather was a Johnson and I've never found anything about him on the list. I've posted about him many times with no responses. I stay on this list to see if maybe one day someone will have some info about him. So stop calling people names. Pam Sybil Chapman <sybilchapman@cebridge.net> wrote: What a bunch of ingrates.

Well, some folks would kick if hung with a new rope. I'm not sure why someone would grip about Johnson info being posted to a Johnson list. I think replies to the topic were aimed at being helpful to the complainers and the complaints aren't all that valid. Don't read em and let the rest of us enjoy them! as far as luxery for me? not really. my time is divided with a 90 min drive to Children's Hospital, finding a parking spot, unloading a child, getting him into treatment, reloading him for the 90 min trip to my work where I put in 40 hours a week while taking care of him in between. Then I've got the regular everyday stuff like cooking, cleaning and helping with home work. Please don't assume anything for me. Tony -- keep em coming. I haven't found my elusive Kingberry Johnson from NC yet but love the hunt. Dee Johnson

Dee .... not all of us have the luxury of time to do these things. I have many other things going on in my life in addition to genealogy...and many other surnames as well. If they all hit me with 68 emails one morning, It would be over whelming. I still don't know why it is asking too much to put some identifying name/state, etc. in the subject line. That is what I was taught to do from the beginning. Sheridan WolfWalker <realduesouth@yahoo.com> wrote: Sorry to hear you delete without looking. There are more than one way for you to check the info coming in. Go to the egroups page and click on Digest. Go to the egroups page and read them all at once. I treat each email that comes thru as a gift and not an attempt to make my day harder in trying to eek out info that will help me in my search.

Thank you Tony, I am really interested in Richard Johnston of Monongalia Co. Va. then later Preston Co. Va. He may be a brother to Edward who is listed on an 1802 Randolph Co. Va. tax list and had a daughter Margaret who married William Loughry there in 1809. Thanks, Becky
