Hi Janie and Jeremy....... As Janie knows my line is Nicholas Johnson who attended the same church in Chatham Co NC as her Tarleton and who MAY be Tarletons brother......... I cannot remember if I told Janie but we have a Johnson decendant of Nicholas who has had a DNA test........ contact me at skonczak@camalott.com [1] for link to results........ I would appreciate your bothe keeping me in theloop on this as Chatham county and Nicholas Johnson's parents have been a brick wall a LONG time............ Best Mike Mike Konczak, Baird, Texas On Wed 17/10/07 7:28 AM , Janie Johnson sent: Hi, My name is Janie Johnson and I also have been chasing these three brothers since 1996 and no luck on Levi Johnson as he is suppose to be the father of my relative Tarleton Johnson, I do know that there is some confusion about John and Elizabeth....as many are saying they are John Johnson and Elizabeth (escapes me right now at work) but she was from Goochland Co, Va. There is a lot of information on Jesse Johnson and his descendants as they lived in the northern part of Chatham County and he married a Hannah Hadley and had many descendants...as far as Levi Johnson, it appears he started selling off his land, so it appears he might have left the county. For some reason I thought John Johnson died early as there is a record of a John Johnson being hung for some offense during war time....(write to me privately and we can talk more about this), may or may not be the same John Johnson as I know one married a ? Woodson. I am sorry but at work right now and away from my records, email me at jljneenee@hotmail.com [2] Thanks, look forward to more discussion with this as I have been searching a long time and finally I come across someone else looking......
