    3. Once again I am pursuing any leads on my GGG-Grandfather _________ Johnson who may also have went by the name "One Star" - I have no date or place of birth but am looking in the range of 1850-1920 lifespan. I believe he was born in NY. Reportedly he was of Mandan Sioux descent but given his local and the possibility that he was a black native american, it is quite possible he was part of the "Poole" tribe or the Mowhawk descent - he was known to frequent the twin tiers of NY/PA - Chemung & Steuben counties of NY and the Scranton, PA areas. Family lore has it that he was either a scout for the U. S. Cavalry or a traveling minister. He was married to Fanny NICHOLS of Bath, NY and Scranton, PA and they had two daughters, Bertha & Elizabeth JOHNSON of Scranton, PA. Any leads greatly appreciated. --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. Make PC-to-Phone Calls to the US (and 30+ countries) for 2ยข/min or less.
