I don't see it immediately. It was about a family that descended from Thomas Jefferson and moved to that county long about 1805. Then that James Johnson moved to Christian Co, KY as sheriff by 1808 or 1809. I saw in some records that late in 1810 he married and became a Methodist circuit rider giving up law enforcement. He was mentioned in court and county government records often, primarily wanting a jail that would actually hold prisoners.

My "Sinking Fork" John Johnson is in Christian County, KY just prior to 1808, but I don't know about this James. I will post more later. Kelly Isaak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dr. Gerald N.
