NAME: William (Chip) Pate EMAIL: chip@pateandassociates.com SURNAMES: JOHNSON, GARREN, CARVER, HOLCOMBE DATE: Feb 07 1999 QRYTEXT: I have been trying to find the burial site of my gg grandfather, John L. JOHNSON (1831-1867) of Henderson County, and a recent contact thought he was buried at Friendship Baptist Church in Polk County. John may have been a church member, because after an incident at Mud Creek Baptist Church in Henderson County he and wife Narcissa GARREN (1832-1896) received a letter of dismission, perhaps with the intent to join Friendship Baptist Church. John L. Johnson is the son of Lewis JOHNSON (1798-1882) and Martha HOLCOMBE (1804-1882). His wife, Narcissa, is the daughter of Andrew GARREN Jr. (abt 1787-bef 1860) and Mariah CARVER (-bef 1870). Are there any church or cemetery records from Friendship Baptist Church? I'd like to see if he ever became a member, learn anything else I can, and (particularly) determine if he is buried there. Thanks for any and all help!.
