As I trace Hugh and Elizabeth - I know from census records they were both born in Virginia around 1780's. They have at least 9 children. Hugh dies in Breckinridge County Kentucky around 1853 and his wife (last name unknown) dies around 1863 in Breckinridge County Kentucky. The following are their children: James Johnson marries in 1832 to Flora Goodman - they stay in Hardin County Kentucky and are buried there. Barbara Johnson marries in 1832 to Young Goodman - they stay in Hardin County Kentucky and I think are buried there. Nancy Johnson marries in 1832 to David Shawler - they live in Hardin County until about 1881 and then they move to Ripley County Missouri and die there. John W. Johnson marries in ? to Eliza St. Claire or Sinclair - they live I Breckinridge on Hugh's land and they die and are buried in Breckinridge County Kentucky. George W. Johnson marries in ? to Mary E. Coyl - they move first to Coles County Illinois and then to Ripley County Missouri. Both die in Ripley County Elizabeth Johnson marries in ? to Ephraim Stone - they leave Breckinridge County Kentucky and move to Ripley County Missouri about 1880. Both die in Ripley County and are buried at the Pine Cemetery. Mary Johnson marries in 1849 to Isaac Whitworth - they stay in Breckinridge County Kentucky and die there sometime after the 1900 census. They never have children. Rhoda Johnson marries in 1841 to James Peters - Rhoda marries again to Lewis Duvall in 1859 in Hardin County; she stay in Bulliitt County and later moves to Hardin county after Lewis' death. Rhoda is buried in Hardin County. Unknown Johnson female - just got a possible lead on her, but still working on this one. Does any of this tie into your line?
