    3. I am searching for information on my great-grandfather, his parents and any info. on this family. His name was J. P. (Polk or Poke) Johnson b. abt. 1855 d. bet. 1894-1900 probably in MS. The only thing I have that gives a birth date is the 1880 Lafayette Co., MS. census as being 25 years old. He was living in College Hill, Lafayette Co., MS. with his wife Drucilla. They had 2 children at that time. Their youngest son, Charlie Johnson, was born in 1894. Which gives me the approximate date of death. Because he was not on the 1900 Lafayette Co, MS. census. Unless they were living in Marshall Co., MS. at that time. I know for sure that he died at an early age. I don't know where he is buried. Some family members think it could have been on the family farm. There is also rumors of him being of Indian decent but I have no evidence of that. I know that the Johnson family share-cropped for the LESLIE family on Hwy 4, right off of Hwy. 7 just on the outskirts of HollySprings. Drucilla died there in 1938-9 and is buried in the Abbeville Cemetery in Lafayette County, MS. I'm hopin! g someone will see this query and have some information to share on this family. Thank you in advance. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new resources site!
