James H. was the son of Henry Johnson who immigrated to America from Sweden. Henry was born in Sweden in 1750. Henry first settled in Delaware, which was then called New Sweden.

Posted on: Wilson Co. Tn Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Tn/Wilson/10815 Surname: Risen, Sypert, Dew, Lasater, Yeakle ------------------------- I am looking for my great grandmother Rebecca RISEN. She had my grandfather Sam Yeakle in 1879 either in Alleghany Co. or Washington Co MD. There is no mention of a husband. Someone told me they recall hearing about a Rebecca coming in the area mentioned above and having a child out of wedlock. The surnames above are all connected with the Rebecca I found on google.com I have no idea if I'm on the right track but this is the most info I have found on a Rebecca Risen. I only hope she is the one. >From the info on the computer I have Rebecca's parents as James b.1819 in Wilson Co. Tenn, and Mary Ann Sypert b. 1823 also in Wilson Co. If you know anything about these people maybe you can help me figure out if I'm even close to finding info on my great grandmother. I also know little about my grandfather Sam, and hope that someday all of this will fall together. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Evelyn Yeakle Dixon Washington CO. MD.
