Hello list I am researching info on Mary Stepp, w/o Wm Meremon Johnson. They were md abt 1858. first child was Elizabeth b. abt 1859, then a son, Wm Meremon "Cooney" Johnson Jr b. abt 1861. I found two Mary Stepps' in the 1850 Fentress Co census. A Mary Step age 8 in the HH of Thomas and Mary Hix. Thus she was b abt 1842. Next door is the other Mary Step age 4 in the HH of her father, John Step. Thus, b. 1858 So one of the Marys' has to be the wife of Wm Johnson. By looking at the dates of birth and marriage and birth dates of Childen, the Mary Stepp in the HH of Thomas Hix has be the w/o Wm Johnson for she would have been age 16/17, whereas the Mary Stepp, d/ John would have only been abt 12/13 yrs old. Can anyone confirm this info? Who is the Mary Stepp age 8 in the HH of Thomas Hix age 69 and Mary Hix age 51? Any help/info or comments would certainly be appreciated! Thanks JW Garrett
