SMITH b April 7, 1854 in IL James JOHNSON b 1759, fought in the Revolutionary War and died in 1838 in Roane Co, Tennessee. The James and Anna JOHNSON family traveled from Tennessee, to Iowa Territory about 1841, and then on to Oregon by wagon train in 1847. They settled a land claim in Tuality, Washington Co, Oregon in May of 1848, just 2 miles north of Forest Grove, OR. Here they remained until James died in 1870, the sons raising their families in Washington Co, nearby Columbia Co, Marion Co and Multnomah Co areas. Many descendants stayed in the Portland, Oregon area and many traveled to the San Francisco, California area. If this is your family, or you think it might be, please contact me.
