Hi John, I am related to Craven Smallwood Johnson and his son, Gilbert, by Gilbert's daughter Nancy Jane Johnson, born March 8, 1842. She must be Benjamin's brother, right?She is my 5th great-great-great grandmother. Do you know about her or have any more information on this family? I guess this means we are related?

Hi Jeremy, Yes this is the line but I have no information on Nancy Jane's family or any of Craven Small wood Johnson's other children. If you have any info on them I would sure appreciate it.
