I have not proven beyond this point. I have the will of William Johnson, husband to Lucy Ayers, and it only mentions their children. Do you have anything beyond Robert Johnson? I do have Esther Branham's death certificate verifying her parentage. However, I have nothing connecting Esther to John Branham, husband to Mahalia Mosley, my ggg grandparents. My line: Henry Clay Johnson, son of Robert and Esther, married Polly, daughter of John and Mahalia (Mosley) Branham. If there is a connection to Esther and John, this would be a first cousin marriage. My gg grandparents, Henry and Polly, had a daughter named Josephine, who married Reck Von Tackett. My g grandparents, Reck and Josephine, had a daughter named Lela Angela, who married Charles Franklin Elkins.
