I am interested in the family of John Johnson and wife, Elizabeth - Pennsylvania Quakers who came from Chester Co., Pennsylvania to Orange / Chatham Co., North Carolina in the middle 1700s. This couple had atleast three sons, Levi, Jesse and John Jr. Jesse married Hannah Hadley and Levi married Amy ? I am interested in learning what became of John Jr. I theorize that he may be my ancestor who was in Green Co., Kentucky in the early 1800s, but I need proof. The earliest of my Johnson ancestors that I can genuinely document is my GGGgrandfather, Henry Johnson (1809-1889). Although I have no document stating that he is, I am certain that he was the son of Isham "Isom" Johnson (1781-1859) and Sally Warren (1786-1859). Isham's family moved to Greene Co., Indiana from Green Co., Kentucky around 1830 but shortly thereafter Henry returned to Kentucky. Isham Johnson was born in North Carolina and I think that he was the son of John Johnson and wife, Lydia. This family came to Kentucky around 1804/1805. Anyone who might shed some light about any of the three brothers, Levi, Jesse and John, or their descendants please contact me. I would like to know if anyone from Levi or Jesse's family has had their DNA tested. Below are the documents from Chatham Co., North Carolina that seem to be the best source for this family group. Thanks so much. - Jeremy Johnson ----- Chatham Co., NC Deed Bk.
