Hi, I am looking for information on a Jacob Johnson born in PA date unknown but prior to 1800. It is possible that he may be the son of a Jacob Johnson. My Jacob Johnson apparently moved to VA and was there around 1817 to aprox 1830 give or take a year or two. Possible sons would be William Johnson b. 1824 and James E. Johnson b. 1817/1824 and possibly another William born 1828. Now I know it seems weird that there might be two brothers named William but as I have seen one woman name her sons John, Johnny, and Johnathan it is possible and as one of the William's above had a daughter that named her child Johnathan P. when her husband already had a child named Johnathan P. by his 1st marriage, I am open minded about the two William's also they are listed in the same household in the 1850 Pike co. KY census. All three men are in the same house. I cannot find the William's after 1850 but have found that James E. changed his name to Johnston and was located in Howell co. MO in 1870 census where he list his father as being born in PA. According to the marriage records for the oldest William he is listed as the son of Jacob. So if anyone has a Jacob Johnson born in PA that migrated to VA and then the family moved on to KY would like to share ideas. I am really stuck on this family and need help. Thanks Nancy paul@txol.net
