Oh Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Madison/687 Surname: Flint, Johnson ------------------------- Dear Ms. Hubbard - I am currently researching my family name "Flint", and in the process learned that my great great aunt "Louisa Flint" married an Obediah Johnson. My aunt was born in 1825 in Beekmantown, NY. About 1833-34 her family moved to Madison Co. Ohio (Canaan Township)where my great grandfather "John Flint" was born. From many letters that she wrote to my great grandfather, I know that she was first married to Obediah Johnson and they had one child, a boy named Henry Johnson. I will have to look through my letters again to see if I can determine Henry's birth date or age. I also know that later she married a man named George Marshall and moved from Madison Co. Ohio to Ill. I have not been able to find out if Obediah died, left or if they divorced. No mention is made of their situation. I do know that "Little Henry" was taken by Johnson relatives to Missouri for quite a long time and Louisa had no knowledge of him which made her quite anxious. Eventually they brought him back, but there is no indication that he lived with her. She had several other children by George Marshall. I hope this helps you. If you would care to have additional information from me, I will review my letters at home and get back to you. I have provided my home E-mail address, since this message reached me at my work E-mail. I am in the slow but steady process of transcribing all fifty of the letters I have from my relatives between 1856 and 1907, and hope to make them available to all interested parties eventually. Please do let me know if this has helped in any way. I will look forward to hearing from you. We may be related if only by marriage! Best Regards and Happy Hunting, Liza
