I am looking for J. (possibly James) Lemuel Johnston. He was born in Mississippi to UNK Johnston and mother named Manerva (?). He was listed on the Lamar Co., TX census of 1880, living with his mother Manerva Roche and half-siblings name Roche. He was 19 at the time. There is a marriage record for J.L. Johnson (Johnston) and Molly Harlow in Lamar Co., in 1886. My grandmother was born Clara M. Johnston in 1887, her brother Alvin Banks Johnston was born in 1888. Some of Molly Harlow Johnston's family migrated to Tahlequah, then on to Skiatook, I.T. While in the library, I stumbled onto a book that listed an 1890 census index of people living under permit in the Cooweescoowee District of I.T. In it was a James Johnston, age 29, with 4 people in the household. This sounds like my man, but I haven't had time to get back to the library and check in to it more throughly. If anyone has heard of ANY of these people I have listed in this post, please contact me. Molly died between 1890-1900 for unknown reason. Lemuel was murdered for his watch by a man that was lynched shortly thereafter. That is the family story, but I would really like to be able to confirm some of this. I'm sorry for such a long posting. Louise Fields Cosar ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!
