Frances S. Johnson was born April 3, 1804 in America, Kentucky, which I have recently learned is in what is now Lee County. She married Daniel REEDER in Todd County KY, May 5, 1825. Daniel REEDER's first wife was Mary NICHOLS, who died after the birth of their second son. A Todd County KY Deed book lists the heirs of John JOHNSON: his widow, Elizabeth, of Todd County; John W. JOHNSON, William B. JOHNSON, John P. and Sarah Johnson GUTHRIE, William and Margaret Johnson WITTY, and Daniel REEDER [who was granted power of Attorney], all of Adams County Illinois. Frances S. JOHNSON REEDER, was not mentioned but had recently given birth to her tenth child at the time of this hearing (September 1848). I believe that she was unable to attend and therefore her husband acted on her behalf through his power of attorney. John JOHNSON's wife Elizabeth (and presumably mother of Frances) has been listed on census records as born in SC, but I need to know her maiden name. Census records dispute whether John was born in Ireland or SC. Can anyone help me fill in the blanks? Roberta Sharp [email protected] (alternative) [email protected]
