My name is Linda (Johnson) Griffin and I had put out some data on my family from NC. Their was a Daniel born about 1815-18 7 he had a brother named Joel Johnson born about 1814 in NC. Their parents came from NC or VA we think. All of the information we have has these two brothers as youngsters in the 1820's and their parents settled in McMinn Co., TN. Then when these brothers were grown ..Daniel had married a Margaret Brannon and they had their children in McMinn Co. Moved to Bradley Co., about 1840. Then his brother moved about 1850 and his wife was named Elizabeth ..they had their children in Bradley Co., TN. They lived on this property..about 1000 acres of land owned by a William Johnson and we don't know if they were related to him. Their children lived on this land and raised their families on it. Have one relative who is 78 and he has a wife who still live on 500 acres..a lot of the land got sold over the years. There have been five generations of Johnson's who have lived on this land by Cleveland, TN in Bradley Co. John Henry Johnson is his name and he always heard since he was a kid that Daniel and Joel came from NC...but never knew who the parents were. My only uncle left live in McMinn Co., TN and he is the same age as that cousin in Bradley Co. Our family never knew about the Johnson's in Bradley Co. until I started my John's family tree then found two more grandpa's and have a picture of the Daniel Johnson Family ..ERA 1865-67. It shows both grandparents in the photo. Would like to put it on the McMinn website but do not know how. Paid for my uncle to have the DNA test done and it shows cousins from Scotland, NY, NC, GA & Indiana. Really could use some help here. Have Lymn's Disease and it is hard for me to do all this work but it needs to be done for the young people in our Family.

Joel Johnson's lands were primarily located on Cove and Bear (Bare)Branches on the North side of Middle Creek. The land conveyed to Blunt was on Jonas' branch. All of these branches were located in present day Cleveland Township, Johnston County. They are south of Cleveland Road (SR 1010), south and east of Cornwallis Road, and south and west of McLemore Road. There is even today a subdivision street called Blount Creek Estate off McLemore Road. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
