I (unfortunately) had to cancel my subscription to Ancestry for a bit and was HOPING someone had access to the following book - Abstract of North Carolina Wills. Specifically page 275 in the Rowan County Chapter. There is a mention of Samuel Johnson either in a will or this is his will. I'd be grateful for any info that can be provided on what this page has. Thanks! Claire

Just so happens I am at the Allen County library, in Ft. Wayne, IN (second largest genealogy library in the world), and noticed your request. There is more than one book titled "Abstract of North Carolina Wills. I have one here in my hand titled "Abstract of North Carolina Wills from about 1760- about 1800", Supplementing Grimes' Abstract of North Carolina Wills 1663-1760. This book is by Fred A. Olds. On page 275, there are a couple of Samuel Johnson's. First is the 1792 will of William Johnson, who names Judith, Samuel, Manoah, Christian, Elizabeth, Margaret and Amy. Another is the 1796 will of William Johnston, naming Rachel, John, Robert, William, Samuel, Jesse, Polly and Elizabeth. Both of the above are Rowan County wills. The library here has those original wills on microfilm. Rex W. Bertram 132 S.
