I was told ( hear say ) from the daughter of William JOHNSON that her father was taken it by Lucy (Durham) MATTHEWS and 2nd husband Cornelius SMITH. Lucy (Durham) MATTHEWS is my GGgrandmother. Anyway I found them on the 1900 and 1910 showing William JOHNSON. I would like to find out who his parents were.
