Okay, now ... the plot thickens ! ! ! ! I have always wondered where the information came from that John C. Johnson was a "bad boy" I have heard this over and over. He came from Kentucky and his mother's name was Rachael.. I have read the story but have never been able to get documentation regarding the early years of John Clem Johnson. I have oodles on the family of John Clem Johnson. One of his sons had had a son named John Clem Johnson who died as a youth. his mother was pregnant at the time and had a boy baby several months after the child's death and named him John Clem Johnson. I dont have the record before me, but I think it was about 1839. This John C. fought in the battle of Vicksburg. I have a delightful picture of him. He was the marrying kind, I think as he did it a couple of times. He married one of Jefferson Scott's daughters and through that line, he was my husbands grandfather. Do you have any documentation about his life in Kentucky or in old greenville. MS? I would love to have it for the family history. If you are interested in more about the John Clem Johnson that I have documentation for I will be glad to share with you. Ann Brown
