Hello Everyone: I'm hoping someone can help me with this family. Does anyone have information on Gordon JOHNSON (or JOHNSTON) and his wife Cosby? What was Cosby's maiden name? Here is the family in 1850: 1850 Census, District 31, Lee Co., VA, Pg. 351, Dwelling 657, Family 679: Gordon Johnston, 23, farmer, b. VA Cosby, 22, b. VA, cannot read or write Elkanah, 1, b. VA (Elkanah Johnson marries Luzana HOOVER, 21 Jan 1869) Gordon has died by 1880, as "Causby" is listed as head-of-household. Note that Bazewel GREEN lives with the family in 1880. I believe this is Boswell GREEN, who marries Sallie GARRISON later in 1880. 1880 Census Place: District 41, Jonesville, Lee, Virginia Source: FHL Film 1255375 National Archives Film T9-1375 Page 200A Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace Causby JOHNSON Self F W W 52 VA Occ: Keeping House Fa: KY Mo: VA Maryan JOHNSON Dau F S W 28 VA Occ: Laborer Fa: VA Mo: VA Lucy C.
