Historical Collections of Harrison Co., by Charles Hanna Early Marriages page 271 Hosier Johnson and Jane Simonton married April 23, 1835 by John McArthur, V.D.M. This is the first and only bit of information I have on this couple ( my ggGrandparents) until the 1860 Indiana Census, Bartholomew County as follows: 1860 Bartholomew Co NINEVEH Twp page 313 July 26, 1860 1066/1075 JOHNSON, Hosier 57 MD Cooper Jane E. 46 PA Mary 21 OH John 19 OH Farm lab Wm 17 OH Jane E. 15 OH George W. 13 OH - may be George M.

George M 2 m In the household of Alexander (age 34, b NY) and Catherine Tinker (26 b OH) I've searched all the census records for Harrison and Perry and Tuscarawas counties for 1840 - 50 looking for Johnsons, Simontons. I've even begun to try to locate John McArthur VDM, who married them to no avail. My thought was that if I could find McArthur, then I'd have a better idea of what township they may have lived in. If you could help me locate any of these people, I'd be so very grateful.
