Just curious if any one can DOCUMENT the wives of our Johnson ancestors. Have never seen documentation. We have great DNA results on the Cockrill family at www.familytreedna.com Where did we get that Jeffrey John married Sarah Presley Where did we get that Moses Smith Johnson married Margaret Winn John Johnson married a Ball. Most of you have visited my web site. www.virginiasurnames.com Plese be carefull there are several John Johnson men - very confusing. Anderson Cockrill was the son of William Cockrill and Hannah Anderson.
