I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would check - my ancestors are Charles Johnson, arrived NC sometime before 1818 with his parents and siblings from Scotland. Don't know parents names, or siblings' names, or ship ... I know nothing about him. Wish I could find something about him .... anybody recognize him? His son, William Addison Johnson, born 1818 in Hillsboro, NC, married twice - once to Sarah Miranda Ross in Missouri then to Harriet Byron S. Mays in Arkansas. Settled in East TX in what became the Smyrna community near Atlanta Texas in Cass county. WA's siblings were James Donaldson Johnson, Charles Johnson II, Thomas G. Johnson, Elizabeth Jane Johnson. I do not know what happened to them. WA served in Mexican American war and CSA. This is per family lore - I have yet to find military records. His son, William Addison Jervis Worth Johnson, married to Ella Pratt. WAJW's mother was Sarah Miranda Ross and his only sibling by her was Sterling Price Johnson. I've "met" over the internet a descendant of Sterling Price Johnson. Between 1870 and 1882, WA and Harriet had Richard Mentor Johnson, Eugene Pelham Johnson, Edward Erwin Johnson, James Donaldson Johnson, Lou Belle Johnson, Jennie Lyn Johnson, Thomas Galahar Johnson, and Hannah Rebecca Mayes Johnson. These were probably all born in Cass county although the older ones may have been born in Arkansas. I actually met Thomas Galahar Johnson - he lived to be 95 (1880 - 1975) and was just down the road from my mom's house. I am descended from WAJW Johnson > Herbert Byron Johnson > Parker Johnson > me, Ora Jane Johnson. My mom still lives on the land granted to WA Johnson by the governor of Texas in exchange for work as a surveyor. There have to be some Johnson cousins somewhere from those original siblings of Charles Johnson and of WA Johnson. You would have started out in NC. No telling where the years have taken you - but you've got to exist!
