I have a record of an appeal dated May 4, 1927 in Kaufman County for a William Johnson. The judgment was affirmed and it was for transporting whiskey in an automobile--this was during Prohibition, after all. I would like to find the original case record--it probably would have been around the same time and was for a William Johnson. I believe this may possibly be my great-grandfather who did a little time during prohibition for the same thing. I need more details from the original court case to determine whether it was indeed my great-grandfather who was residing back in Alabama, but may have been traveling back and forth to Texas where my grandfather had been born and his mother had returned after the divorce. If this is my great-grandfather, I'd like to know where he was incarcerated and the exact time period. Thanks in advance for any potential assistance.
