Box is an allied line and Patrick and Allen are direct lines. I have 1 direct Johnson line in North Carolina - probably Surry - down to Indiana and one Allied line in Georgia. None of these are documented back to Virginia, but it is likely. I also research Craven, Johnston, Wake Counties, NC. I'm really researching Goochland Co., VA and trying to eliminate some Dawsons in Amherst.

They have sent in lots of information in on these folks to me for placement. I am the nominated Librarian for several Johnson-Johnston-Jonson research groups, who are sharing all the information on our cross relatives. All we ask is the person who submitted the information you use be accredited for it. We also ask that if you find ANY mention of the surnames Johnson-Johnston-Johnstone-Jonson etc. in Virginia before 1840, that you document it and send it to me for placing in the research files. Which I have sent you several of involving Ballinger and Wade families with our Johnson- Matlock- Metlock-Madlock discussions. Again informtion tha you provide will be acrredited to you and your research. Also we are starting documented files in 1840 and before for North Carolina counties of Vance, Warren, Butte, Oragne, Rockingham, Granville and split counties for Variations of the Jonson- Johnson surname. Hope it helps Tony in Oregon Our Group of Hudson Johnson- Johnston and wife Agness Johnson, daughter is Mary Polly Johnson wife of Joel Shropshire (In 1783 era father Seymore Shropshire of Rockfish River Amherst County which goes into Nelson Co. descendend from Rev.
