I'm still looking for the parents of Isaac Johnson of Granville County, N.C., and I still believe your family tree may yet bring me to the answers about Isaac Johnson's past. Here are a couple of bits and pieces that apply to the Benjamin Johnson family, found on my research road. I'm assuming that this first reference is your Benjamin, and it fits with your comment, Diane, that Benjamin's father was also named Benjamin. From WARREN COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, Minutes to the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, 1801-1805, by Ginger L. Christmas-Beattie, p. 163, Dated Monday, November 25th 1805, "Administration of the Estate of Benjamin Johnson, deceased, is granted to Marmaduke Johnson, Benjamin Johnson, the elder son of the deceased, being in Court and thereto consenting, the said Administrator enters into bond for that purpose with Joseph Hawkins, his Security in the Sum of 2,000 pounds, and qualified accordingly." Dated Tuesday, November 26th, 1805 "Ordered that the Administrator of Benjamin Johnson, deceased, sell the perishable Estate of the deceased, or as much thereof as will pay the debts, at not less than 6 months credit." "Ordered that Buckner Davis be appointed Guardian to Francis C. Johnson, orphan of Benjamin Johnson, deceased, who enters into bond for that purpose with Marmaduke Johnson, his Security in the sum of 500 pounds." Warren County was formed from a part of Granville County. Another tidbit: from the book, GENEALOGICAL ABSTRACTS OF REVOLUTIONARY WAR PENSION FILES, Vol. I: A-E, Abstracted by Virgin D. White, The National Historical Publishing Company, Waynesboro, Tennessee, 1990, p. 310, "BOBBIT, William or William Bobbitt, Susannah, W9740, NC Line, sol m Sukie James in May 1784 & a George James signed the marriage bond in Warren Cty NC, wid appl 18 Nov 1840 Chester Dist SC aged 74, sol d 12 Nov 1839, sol had appl 24 Nov 1832 Chester Dist SC aged 71, sol was b 1761 in Warren Cty NC & after the war lived in NC 14 yrs then moved to SC." Also, "BOBBITT, Isham or Isham Bobbet, Elizabeth W24709, NC Line, sol appl 3 Sep 1832 Morgan Cty IL aged 78, enl in Warren Cty NC, sol was b 3 May 1754 Granville (that part which later became Warren Cty) Cty NC, sol & wid m 13 Oct 1774 or 75 about 25 miles from Halifax NC, wid appl 10 Jul 1840 Morgan Cty IL aged 84, children shown were: Winny, William, Allen (both William & Allen were dec'd in 1840), Stephen the 4th child b 21 Nov 1779 of Pike Cty IL in 1840, Fanny, Anny or Anna, Isham or Isom, Salley, Elizabeth & Nancy, a son-in-law lived Morgan Cty IL in 1841 (his wife not named in file)." Also, GENEALOGICAL ABSTRACTS OF REVOLUTONARY WAR PENSION FILES, VOL. II, p. 1852, "JOHNSON, Joseph, S7085, NC Line, sol was b in 1763 in Bute Co now Warren Co NC & he lived there at enl & he appl there 29 Aug 1833 but was of Halifax Co NC." This Joseph Johnson was a bachelor, never married, Joseph Johnson and Benjamin Johnson and William Bobbit are all listed in the EPPING FOREST DISTRICT of Granville County, N.C., in the 1790 North Carolina Census.
