Hi Jerald, I haven't been able to contact Reda as of yet. I just returned from a trip to Athens, Ga visiting my daughter and grandkids. As I may have mentioned before, I am trying to help a friend research Joseph Jody and Dona Johnson. These are not any of my kin, as far as I know. (My Johnson ties are mostly concentrated in Pike, Letcher, Knott, and Floyd Counties of Kentucky. I have tracked them from mostly from Virginia in the late 1700's to the above mentioned counties. Some of my Johnson names are Patrick Johnson b. 1771 in Virginia married Delilah Carter, Elisha Johnson born 1819 married Elizabeth Betty Mullins, John Johnson (h/o Katy ?) born bef 1765 in Va.) I don't have any information on Dona Johnson's parents as of now. I do know that her name is Charlotte Dona Johnson and that she was born in Tennessee on 22 July 1883. I do not know if she had siblings and if so, their names. I'm guessing that both Dona and her husband Joseph have some kind of ties to Overton Co., since they were married there. I just started helping this friend out recently, so I don't have much info to work with. That's why I was inquiring about the marriage records. Thought that it may shed some light. I don't have a death certificate yet, and I'm not sure if my friend has one for her either.
