There is a list of Sheriffs of Harlan County at this link: http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyharlan/Sheriffs_Of_Harlan_County_Ky.html I have two Amos Johnsons in my file. I assume you are referring to Amos Johnson born 1811 Tennessee died in Harlan County m. Martha "Patsy" Howard 28 Oct 1830 Harlan Co., and then Eliza Louise 14 MAR 1877 Harlan County, KY He served in the Civil War on the Union side so he might have pension papers. A lady named Janine Lockwood [email protected] has the father of Amos Johnson as Robert Johnson b. 1779 TN or VA and father of Robert Johnson as Thomas T. Johnson b. 1771 They have the information came from Charles Baker and Larry Johnson.
