My Johnson line begins with my paternal grandmother, Zona Mae Johnson Little. She was born in August of 1896 in Rogers, Texas in Bell County. I have her line proven back to my GGG Grandfather, Joseph Johnson and pretty much back to his father, Joel Johnson. My Johnson's came to Texas from Martin County, North Carolina with Joseph Johnson and his wife, Martha Bryant Johnson. All of their children except the last one were born in Martin County, North Carolina. I have found them in the census and I know for sure that they came here from Martin County, North Carolina. In fact, my GG Grandfather, Redden Hezekiah Johnson moved back to North Carolina after my GG Grandmother Cecila Ann Fortenberry Johnson died in 1916. Here is my Johnson line from my grandmother: Grandmother: Zona Mae Johnson born August 1896 in Bell County, Texas. Married Reuben S. Little. Great Grandfather: Benjamin William Johnson born Jan. 1867 in Texas married Mary Susanna Salina Little [another different set of Little's]. She was called Mamie.

Redden Johnson died on Sept. 7, 1935 in Roanoke Rapids, N.C. GGG Grandfather: Joseph Johnson born abt. 1820 in Martin County, N.C. and married Martha Bryant in abt. 1841 in North Carolina or Georgia. She was the child of James Bryant and Mary Polly Price. Joseph Johnson died in Texas sometime during or after the Civil War.

Asa Myers Johnson born March 1866 in Texas and married Liza Jane Bomon in Texas and after she died he married ElMina Little [sister to my great grandmother who was married to his nephew, Ben Johnson].
