    1. [JOHNSON] Johnson's 1790-NC and 1800-TN
    2. I am looking for the parents or siblings of Burwell Johnson in NC about 1790. Spouse unknown. He moved to Maury Co., TN by 1812. Burwell is listed on the Tax list along with son Wiley (b.abt. 1797-NC) . He lived in Maury Co. at least until 1830---he is not listed on anything that, I can find after that. Wiley Sr., Martha Nichols from Williamson Co., TN in 1819. Known children were Wiley William Jr. born 1844, Martha born abt.1831, and William Wiley born in 1849--all in Maury Co. Wiley Jr. fought in the Civil War. He married Mary Frances (or Jane) Huff/Hough from Williamson County----trying to prove that her mother and father were William L. Hough and Ann Pace. They were the only Hough's at the time in Williamson Co. (that I could find). Ann Pace's parents were Thomas Pace and Catherine Donahoo. William Wiley married Margaret H. Atkeison (parents were W. R. Atkeison and Pricilla Cranford. In William's obit -- it states Mrs. Johnson owns forty acres in Cranford Hollow, (TN). He is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery, Maury Co. Wiley Jr. is buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery, Weakley Co., TN. One last note--I think that Martha Johnson may have married a James Watkins or Watson. Any help would be greatly appreciated---I haven't been able to find anything more on these people. I have the death certificate of Mary Huff/Hough---I thought for sure her parents names would be on it--the son that she lived with when she died supplied the information and he put he didn't know the parents. I can't imagine not knowing who my grandparents. And I wasn't even raised by my parents! I was so disappointed. Sheri
