This was forwarded to me. Perhaps someone knows about this Johnson family in Maryland or Virginia. As the subject line indicates, it could lead to possible familial connections in the country of Antigua in the Caribbean.

If I remember correctly one of the Gov Johnsons' (there were two or three) left for an appointment in Maryland or Viginia. I have nothing but the bible entries, no contextual info nada...but one thing I do know from the research I've done on the bible so far and that is anyone mentioned is either kin or very very close to the family. So I must assume that somewhere along the way there was a Johnson related to either William Cod or to his wife Ann. But regretably I am navigating on this blind...when you lack detail you're pretty much stuck with broad searches, and have to go begging others researching "promising" things to look over their material for possible clues.... I think I have read nearly every page of Oliver's History of Antigua at least twice...(insane) but have not found anything remotely helpfull on this issue.

The family bible has several names mentioned in the early pages (1717-1740's) including a Johnson, a McChriest and a Sweeney....have never had any luck connecting any of them.... There were several families of Johnsons active on the island over time re Gov.'s but considering how many there were and how relatively well placed some of them were there is not a whole lot on them in History of Antigua..... Any ideas? Chris Cod
