I use color codings in my reports as so many of my Great Grands live my each other for over 400 years ( LOL) All of our groups accumulated works are posted on Rootsweb.com enter Elvin Johnson born Tn died Ark. and you can follow it backwards. Use the Index for Connecting Surnames. Some times connecting surnames are HARD to follow in our Research. You will also receive an e-mail from aud@bco.com<mailto:aud@bco.com> on Albemarle and Amherst Co. info. out group information is weak on these Counties. If you would be able to supply some name and Counties. We will be glad to check in our references for where these folks owned property at. I will check deeds thru Library of Virignia Archives Section Susanna Pace and Stephen info is in the Douglas register on there marriage. Notes on: Stephen Johnson in report one died before 1751, another abt 1790 I am going from memory here Notes unable to bring up but Haydens are connected some how to the Above. Hayden's are married into Michael Johnson known descendants. Tony ----- Original Message ----- From: Amanda Hulse<mailto:abh_genealogy@yahoo.com> To: TonyempireOre@msn.com<mailto:TonyempireOre@msn.com> Sent: Friday, June 17, 2005 1:39 PM Subject: Rockfish River land documents Hello, Tony, I saw your posting re: Rockfish River properties and your Johnson ancestry. A couple of names popped out at me and I'm curious to learn more. Your research notes mention (several times) Stephen Johnson who ends up in Amherst late 1700s. My Stephen Johnson was born in Goochland County 1739/40 and died in Amherst County 1805 - he was my 4th GG. I have his parents as William Johnson & Margaret Pace of Middlesex County; his paternal grandparents as Daniel Johnson & Agnes LNU. I do not have any data for siblings of any of these Johnson men. Stephen Johnson m. to Susanna Pace had a son, also Stephen Johnson, b. about 1793 in Amherst and died 1856 in Nelson. This Stephen was married to Elizabeth Perry. Their children: Moses Alexander (my 2nd GG), William L., Louisa, Stephen Gordon, George Rodney (another 2nd GG), Sophia, & Sarah were all born in Nelson County. I have not been able to determine exactly where the family lived in Nelson - although I have some data to indicate that George Rodney was once an overseer on the Massie plantation, Pharsalia. SO - I'm wondering if this family lived around these areas mentioned in your message. And was your Hudson Johnson a sibling to any of the Johnson men that I do not have sibling data for? I also noticed you mentioned "Hardwick". I have Elizabeth Hardwick married to John Mitchell. Their daughter Harriet Ann "Harry" married Jarvis Haydon. Jarvis was brother to Richard Haydon/Hayden - my 3rd GG. Richard's daughter Mary Louisa married Preston Hicks. Terisha Turner keeps popping up too. I keep running across that name but have had no luck in linking it to any remote Turner connections I have. Anyway, my Johnson lineage is where I got started with my genealogy research and I've been able to connect with some folks who have been chipping away at it for many, many years. My data on the down lines from Stephen (2) of Amherst/Nelson is pretty "complete". Working backwards from him to Stephen (1), William & Daniel is of interest - particularly in finding some of the siblings to see how these families branch. Let me know if any of this is of interest to you. Amanda __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
