I have just begun researching the Johnsons of Jefferson county. My interest in them is thru Mary Ellen Graves who married Thomas J Johnson. I have lots of info on the Graves side but not much on the Johnsons. Below is what I have. I would love to hear from anyone who can add to my information. Thomas J Johnson b. 1835, m. Mary Ellen Graves June 1, 1854. Their children were: William Johnson b. abt 1855, Josephine Melissa Johnson b. abt 1855 - Josephine d. 2 Mar 1916. James w. Johnson b. 27 Dec 1858, Elizabeth J Johnson b. 1859, m. Peter Eli Laviar, d. 24 Feb 1934 in Pittsburg Co. OK, Sarah E. Johnson b. 1863, Leonard W. Johnson b. 1865, Rose Ann Johnson b. 1866, Margaret S Johnson and Mary A. Johnson, twins born 1868, Louisa or Laura b. 1871 and Ella Johnson b. 1873. Would love to hear from any descendents of any of these people. Susan Lane in Memphis, TN
