This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Johnson, Massie Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XhB.2ACE/412.2.1 Message Board Post: I do know that Jessie had a brother but no one seems to know what his name was. He and his wife, Mary Jane Massie (who went by Jane) had 7 known children. Their names were: Esther (1874), Mattie (1876), Alice (1894), Servalia (1896), Will, Ida and Van Lawrence (1901). According to the 1880 census, Jessie's parents were born in Georgia. In the 1880 census, there is a Jack and Mariah Johnson listed in Colorado, Texas and were both from Georgia and were both 60 years old. Jessie was a mullatto since, as I said before, his father was the slave owner. I hope this helps and there is a match, I do have some more names if you need them. Sharon James
