Although not much has changed since my last post, this information might benefit new subscribers: The Todd County KY Deed Book S. (p. 28) lists heirs of John JOHNSON: his widow, Elizabeth, of Todd County; John W. JOHNSON, William B. JOHNSON, John P. and Sarah Johnson GUTHRIE, William and Margaret Johnson WITTY, and Daniel REEDER [who was granted power of Attorney], all of Adams County, Illinois. Daniel REEDER's wife, Frances S. JOHNSON, was not mentioned but had recently given birth to her tenth child at the time of this hearing (September 1848). I believe that she was unable to attend and therefore her husband Daniel REEDER was given power of attorney. I am interested in learning Elizabeth's maiden name and where John and Elizabeth's parents were born. Some census records indicate both were born in South Carolina, but the 1880 census Frances Johnson REEDER gave her father's birthplace as Ireland. Roberta rsharp@csupomona.edu
