Seeking ancestors and descendants of Thomas L. JOHNSON ca 1830-1923 (born GA died AL), married abt 1859 to Sara A. CARPENTER ca 1843-1924 (born GA died AL). Children: James Houston JOHNSON, 1860-1940, m/Missouri Lumpkin BAKER 1879 in GA (my g/gf) William Thomas JOHNSON, b.1861, m/Onie B. ?, ca 1884 Nancy Annie JOHNSON, b. abt 1865 Emily F.

JOHNSON, b. 1879, m/Flora L. ? abt 1903 Alonzo JOHNSON, b. 1884, m/Alabama JACKSON 1902 Emma JOHNSON, m/John BROWN Ida JOHNSON, m/AW LONG 1898 Thomas L. JOHNSON and Sara A. CARPENTER were both born in GA according to various census records but their first child James Houston JOHNSON was born in AL in 1860. The family lived in Newnan, Cowetta co, GA in 1870, Fayette co, GA in 1880 and Carroll co, GA in 1900. In early 1900's they moved to Bear Creek, Marion co, AL and Mountain Spring, Franklin co, AL. Thomas L. Johnson died in Bear Creek, AL about 1923. One family "story" indicates that Thomas L. JOHNSON and his brother "Bunk" served in the Confederate Army. A review of CSA records shows a Thomas L. JOHNSON and James S. JOHNSON were in Company B, 60th Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infanntry, Evan's Brigade, Gordon's Division, Army of N. VA, known as Fanin Guards from Troup and Whitfield counties, GA. This Thomas and James are the children of Luke and Elizabeth JOHNSON who appear in 1850 Troup county, GA census. I do not know if this JOHNSON family is the one I am looking for. I have researched this line for 8 years, but have never been able to discover the parents of Thomas L. JOHNSON and Sara A. CARPENTER. Are there any JOHNSON researchers that can help with my search. Regards, Richard H. Soard gg/gs of Thomas L. JOHNSON rsoard@mindspring.com
