JOHNSON Jim, In reply to the book in your possesion; my only suggestion would be to donate it to the Oregon Geanealogical Society. Then if we come in contact with direct heirs of John Calvin "Jack" Johnson, we could pass it on. Without looking deeper I'm sure there are many in this area. You asked about BENJAMIN JOHNSON.
