I am searching for the parents of William JOHNSON, b VA 1809, who married Susan D. HALE/HAIL 1841 IN Marshall Co, MS. William JOHNSON had an uncle, Col. Moses Jones JOHNSON who died 1857 in Marshall Co, MS & is buried at Sardis Cemetery. Moses J. JOHNSON's will mentions a sister Dorothy THOMAS & a brother James JOHNSON. Since I have only seen a transcript of his will I don't know whether those siblings were alive or deceased at the time of his death. Quite a number of nieces & nephews were mentioned in the estate settlement. William JOHNSON left MS some time after the 1850 census and moved to White Co, AR, where he died in 1869. He is buried at Riverside Cemetery in West Point. After William JOHNSON's death his widow moved back to Marshall Co, MS and lived the rest of her life in the Mt. Pleasant community. They had children who lived in both West Point, AR & Mt. Pleasant, MS. Carol Shrader Virginia Beach, VA
