Some time between 1900 and 1910 the family including adult children change their last name from Woodmansee to Johnson.I am trying to find out when and why this took place. He married a Zelma Naylor about 1865 the marriage didn't last although there was a daughter Cynthia Jane, he later remarried our grand mother Nancy Fields in 1874. I would appreciate any information anyone might have. William was from Michigan but lived in the Maysville Mason County Kentucky area till his death.
