    3. I recently copied the Russell County 1860 census record below of my gg grandfather William Johnson. Nathan is my great Grandfather. The only information I have on William and his family, other than my Grandfather Nathan, is that William's daughter Rissey, married *Charles Salyer 24 Jan 1865, his son Major married Elizabeth Salyer 7 nov 1872, and son William Jr married Elvira Massey 4 sep 1873 (all in Russell County). On Rissey¹s marriage record she said that she was born in Ashe County, NC. Noting that all of William¹s children were born in North Carolina and Lucinda being only six years old in 1860, I figured I could go to the 1850 Ashe County census and find William and his family. Not so, they were not there. *Charles Salyer had first married Rebecca J. Vicars shortly before 1860 and was widowed when he married Rissey in 1865. Charles had two children, G. Washington, b. ca 1861 and Nancy C., b ca 1864. They were enumerated with Charles and Rissey in the 1880 census. Also in the 1880 census Charles and Rissey had five children. They were John F., Sarah C., Mary J., Cynthia C., and Benjamin B. I am trying to find anything-anything-anything on any of these Johnsons and any help would be greatly appreciated. 1860 RUSSELL COUNTY, VIRGINIA CENSUS Johnson, William 45 NC Rebecca 44 NC Rissey 21 NC Nathan 18 NC Sarah 16 NC Major 21 NC William 10 NC Lucinda 6 NC
