Thanks Tony for the time and effort you put into thiese messagesa. This particular one is my wife's gggg grandfather, Arthur Johnson. I am still looking for info on my GG grpa but he wasn;t born until 1798 Surry Co., NC I don't know who his father was but I suspect he may have been one of these soldiers also. jcjohnson/va ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
