I am looking at a book, The Heritage of J.P. CUTHBERTSON (James Pershing) & The Heritage of M.J. CUTHBERTSON (Marie JOHNSON) published 1985 by Marie CUTHBERTSON. On pg. 1, the second paragraph states "The first JOHNSON of our ancestry to come to America was Hezkiah* JOHNSON who came from Scotland, and settled in Pennsylvania. He had a son, Asa **[JOHNSON], who cam and settled in Salisbury [NC]. Asa was the father of Abraham [JOHNSON]. Abraham and Jane*** [his wife] came to the Old Fields of Toe and settled in a little valley called Vale in Avery County [NC] where he built a log house using two by fours, nailed them together edge wise, and you couldn't tell where they were put together for the floor." *Next to the name Hezkiah JOHNSON, someone has handwritten "Abraham."

Tamara; Get you a good Atlas and check the Kentucky map. Big Sandy River divides KY & WV . There has been a lot published on Pike and Floyd Counties KY referring to "The Big Sandy Valley" . I don't know about the other counties. There are many waterways that flow into the "Big Sandy and are known as " the branch of" . My son-in-law is from Pike County, but the names I've worked with aren't involved with your surnames. He was reared just 8 miles form Williamson, WV and his families have been there "forever". I do know some of his lines are from SW NC who migrated to that area to work in the coal mines in early 1800s. Aldridge isn't one of them. I hope this helps you get started. You might do a google search on "Big Sandy River and see what comes up.
