Dear Diane: This is very intriguing to me as I have some Johnsons I can't find much about, and Allison was a family name that ew're related to,as well as Lucinda Shaw, who I believe married Merritt Johnson, son of James ("Fiddler Jim" )Johnson. Which Hart did this diary belong to, and is it known if the Hart who wrote this was connected, bilogically or socially to these ladies? Thanks!
