Johnson Researchers. I'm at a "deadend" with my great grandmothers family, the JOHNSON's from Webster & Union Co area. I've been looking for a while now, and have communicated with a couple of Johnson researchers, including the late Garnett Johnson, with no success. I thought I would post what I know to this list in "hopes" that someone might be able to help me break up the deadlock. *************************** My great grandmother, MATTIE IDELLA (JOHNSON) WALLACE was born in Webster Co., Ky. The information I have on her family is little and sketchy at the best. I will try and relate what I know and hope that this might have some connection with the JOHNSON research you are doing. The father of Mattie Idella Johnson (my 2nd great grandfather) was: J.F. JOHNSON - born ca 1843 in Kentucky and died ca 1910, where unknown. I have a copy of a "Rememberance Card" from his funeral in 1910, but sadly it does not give the exact date of death, nor does it state where he was buried. I have a copy of the Marriage Bond for the marriage of his daughter (my great grandmother) Mattie Idella Johnson to my great grandfather, Sam Ray Wallace from the Webster County Court House dated 21 December 1890. On that marriage bond, her father signed as FRANK JOHNSON. I�ve been told that he was knows as FRANK. the marriage bond indicates he was born in Kentucky. The mother of Mattie Idella Johnson (my 2nd great grandmother) was allegedly: MARTHA ADAMSON -I have no information at all on her other than a name and that she allegedly lived to be 97 years of age. The marriage bond I talk about above for the marriage of her daughter indicates that Martha was born in Illinois. I have a copy of an old photograph of Martha Johnson and that's about all I know about her. I have information on 8 children being born to J.F. (�FRANK�) JOHNSON and MARTHA (ADAMSON) JOHNSON: 1: MATTIE IDELLA JOHNSON - listed above 2; MARY JOHNSON - no further information other than she �may have� moved to and lived in Monette, Arkansas after she married. 3: SULLIE JOHNSON - no information 4: IDA JOHNSON - reportedly died: 25 March 1956 - where unknown ?? 5: SIBBIE JOHNSON - an old letter written by one of my great aunts on the Wallace side of the family (my grand fathers sister) back in the early 1950�s indicated that Sibbie was living somewhere in Missouri at the time. 6: ROBERT JOHNSON - no information other than the same as on Sibbie above - my great aunt indicated in her letter that Robert was living somewhere in Missouri in the 1950�s. 7: BERNIE JOHNSON - no information - my great aunt indicated in the letter, written in 1956, that Bernie was reportedly living in National City, California. 8: BILL JOHNSON - no information ********************** That's about all I have on my great grandmother's family. Not much at all! If any of this information matches up with any records anyone might have, or if anyone has any suggestion where I might look for the family of Mattie Idella Johnson, I hope you will give some suggestions.
