Dear List Although I am not a Bean researcher, my lines do include one Sarah (supposed to be Bean) who married my relative, William Johnson/Johnston. William was born @1777 & I do not have any info on his parents. I have never been able to verify this marriage and hope that some of you may have that information. William Johnson and Sarah m. @1800, probably TN and possibly Warren Co. Their first child, Rebecca was b.1801. She remained unm. Next came Nancy Louisa Jane, b.1802. She m. Medlin Johnson Dunham @1824 in Warren Co. TN. Nancy d. 1835 in Warren Co and Medlin then married a cousin of Nancy, name not known. Third child was William Perry, b. 15 Aug 1808; he m. Sarah A. Jones (where?) and he d. 27 Feb 1878 in Texas Co MO. Fourth child was Francis Justice, b. 23 Feb 1812, he married Nancy Clark who was from Dade Co GA. Francis d. 20 Nov 1883 in Texas Co MO. Fifth child was Aaron, b. 13 Jan 1814 who married Catherine Clark. Catherine was a sister to Nancy Clark. Sixth child was Isaac, b. 1814 or 1815. No info on him. I have info on all these families except Isaac. William Johnson (b. @1777) died on 15 Jan 1815 in New Orleans of disease during the War of 1812. I have never been able to find a BLW or pension, although I understand there was a BLW. The only other info I have on the widow Sarah is on the 1830 census in Warren Co TN where she is next door to her son-in-law, Medlin Dunham. She also shows (age 67) on the 1850 census in DeKalb Co AL in the home of her son, Aaron and his family. I was told as a child that our Johnson family had something to do with the William Bean family of TN, but nobody had a clue what it was. William Johnson/Johnston is the only proven brother to my GG GrF, John Johnson, b.1780-90. I have searched this line for over 40 years and have a wealth of info on these two Johnson men. Can anybody out there give me some direction or better yet, confirm just who Sarah's parents were? I am always glad to swap and share info. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Judy Johnson Erickson in TX
