I am trying sort out a family thought maybe I could get some help. Starting with Stephen Johnson s/o Thomas Johnson We have found in family information that Keziah who married Alfred Bolen in Hawkins County,1849 was the half sister to Stephens sons Anderson, Abner and Thomas. Keziah used the name Johnson when she married Alfred. On the death record of Alfred and Keziahs oldest son it gives her maiden name as Maner. Everything we find says that Stephens sons were born in Indiana, Abner stated Clay County. I am guessing on this only at this point but, Stephen married Keziahs mother in TN then they went to Indiana where the boys were born. Stephen, according to Thomas' will, died before 1854.Two of the boys Anderson and Abner went back to Tennessee and I am guessing that all three of them did but no proof about Thomas. I know it was common for people to use whatever name that they chose so my guess is that Keziah just used Stephens since he was the stepfather. I would love to find out who Stephen married and who Keziahs parents were. Keziah was born 1820 in TN and the oldest boy of Stephens was born 1828. If things go according to plan (we can only hope) that means Stephen married between 1820-1828. Any ideas? Paula
