LeRoy, This is all that I can find: Margaret Johnson, b. 1670, was the daughter of Nathaniel Johnson (b. 7 April, 1644, Kibbelsworth, Durham, England, d. July, 1712 at Silk Hope, St. Thomas Parish, near Charleston, Seychelles) and Ann Overton, b, 1650. She was the granddaughter of William Johnson, b. 1610 and Margaret Sherwood, b. 1620. Margaret had a brother Robert, b. 1677; a brother William; a sister Anne and an unknown sister. As you know, Margaret married Jonah Lynch. Jonah Lynch, b. 1656, was the son of Thomas Lynch, b. 1630, Galway, Connaught, Ireland, and Margaret Quinn. He was the grandson of Pierce Lynch, b. 1610, Galway, Connaught, Ireland, and Ellin Martin; great grandson of Jonah Lynch, b. 1590, Galway, Connaught, Ireland and Eltish Skerrit. (I can go back a few more generations on this side.) Margarets father, Nathaniel Johnson was the18th Governor of South Carolina, March 1703-November 26, 1709. (I have a wonderful full-page picture of a portrait done of Nathaniel in 1705) Nathaniel Johnson (Sir, Knight, Cacique, Landgrave) arrived 29 May 1683 from Holton Gardern, County Middlesex, England. Margarets brother, Captain William Johnson, was commander of the ship Lizard. He imported over 100 servants and Negroes. Margarets brother, Robert Johnson, was the 23rd British <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Britain> colonial Governor of the Province of South Carolina <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province_of_South_Carolina> , August 10, 1717-December 21, 1719, and again from 1729-1735. His maternal grandson was South Carolina Congressman Ralph Izard <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Izard> . >From book # 140 (click on the link below my name) Robert Johnsons will that was written 21 December 1734 and filed 9 August 1735 mentions daughters Mary and Margaret and son Nathaniel (among others) and plantations Silk Hope and New Kibbelsworth (see above). (I have over a dozen cites for the above information) >From book # 349 SILK HOPE PLANTATION HOME AND BURIAL PLACE OF SIR NATHANIEL JOHNSON, BORN IN THE COUNTY OF DURHAM, ENGLAND, IN 1644, KNIGHTED IN 1680, WAS A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, AND GOVERNOR OF LEEWARD ISLANDS.
