Hi, Hopefully you can provide some much wanted answers. James Johnson had two sons that you listed, did he have any others? I ask because I am trying to find the parents names of relatives that lived in the Wayne Co./ Russell Co. area. They are siblings, although may have different mothers. Melvina Johnson married a McGowan Rosenna Johnson married a Gosser Jim (James) Johnson Charlotte (Lottie, Lott) Johnson married a Stephens Tom Johnson Have been told that Melvina and Charlotte were half sisters, Charlotte being the elder. Melvina was my greatgrandmother, on my mom's father's side. And Charlotte was my ggreatgrandmother, on my mom's mother's side. A little confusing I know. If you can be of any help, would greatly appreciate it.
