I am looking for the father of Rice Johnson of Pineville, Kentucky. Some people have him listed as being born in Ohio in 1817, I have not been able to find him in Ohio. However, I have found a Rice Johnson from Virginia around about the same time. Rice married Phebe Howard and I have their children but can not find his father. I do not know any of his brothers or sisters and have hit a brick wall. Any one that could help me would be greatly appreciated.

Possible father of Rice Johnson is Jesse Johnson. 1820 Census Harlan County, Kentucky Jesse Johnson - 200100 00100 one male age 18-26, one female age 16-26, two males under age 10 Ez Johnson - 210010 20010 (possibly brother or father of Jesse) one male age 26-45, one female age 26-45, one male age 10-16, two males under age 10 Source Citation: Year: 1820; Census Place: , Harlan, Kentucky; Roll: M33_23; Page: 112 Note: only two Johnson's listed in Harlan County in 1820 Census 1830 Census Harlan County, Kentucky Jesse Johnson - 1120010000000 2000010000000 one male age 30-40, one female age 30-40, two males age 10-15, one male age 5-10, one male and two females under age 5 Source Citation: Year: 1830; Census Place: , Harlan, Kentucky; Roll: 37; Page: 123 Note: he is the only Johnson listed in Harlan County in 1830 Census 1840 Census Harlan County, Kentucky Rice Johnson - 0000100000000 1000100000000 one male age 20-30, one female age 20-30, one female under age 5 Source Citation: Year: 1840; Census Place: , Harlan, Kentucky; Roll: 113; Page: 114 Note: there is a Charlotte Johnson, age 15-20, listed next door to him.
