I'm searching for information about a great grandfather of mine. I believe that he may have been born on Staten Island, NY about 1878-1879 (about three years before they started with vital records there).(His parents are Stephen W. Johnson and Margeret Paynes) He married my great grandmother Carrie DeHart on October 23, 1898 in New York. They had one child. About 1902 he left them and moved to NJ. According to some divorce papers I found in my Gr. grandmothers Joseph Johnson was said to be living in Bayonne, NJ. This statement was given in 1923. My mother's dad thought that his father was living in Weehawkin. I have check thru some WWI draft stubs for Bayonne however did not find him. I suspect that he may have been seek a divorce inorder to marry for a 2nd time. I would be grateful if I could find some information out about him. Regards Bill
