Claire, Not related, just did some lookups for you in some Wilson Co. TN genealogy books I have. 1. When you contact the Wilson Co. Archives regarding a copy of Samuel Johnson's Will, you might also want to request a copy of the following Court documents: >From the book, "People of Wilson Co. TN, 1800-1899", by Thomas Partlow Chapter titled County Court Minutes 1833-1836 Page 290 William Steel vs Samuel Johnson Directed that testimony be taken from William Bradshaw and William Clendening in North Carolina Recorded 3 October 1835 2. The name Samuel Johnson appears 3 times in the following book, "Marriages of Wilson Co. TN, 1802-1850", by Edythe Rucker Whitley Samuel Johnson was the bondsman for the marriage of James Johnson to Elizabeth Nixon Feb 18, 1806. Saml. Johnson was the bondsman March 12, 1829 for the marriage of Absolum Allen to Abby Dill on March 13, 1829. Samuel G. Johnson was married to Nancy W. Cooper Dec 10, 1829 with Charlie W. Cooper as bondsman. Hope this helps in some way.
