Hi List, I hope that someone on the Fayette list has the 1850 census of Kanawha County and can do a lookup for me: Nancy Ann SIMS JOHNSON, the widow of William JOHNSON Jr., moved from Fayette County to Kanawha County around 1849 with her children Alexander, William Hunter, and Nancy according to "Sissonville A Time To Remember By The Sissonville Historical Awareness Committee" http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvkanawh/Sissonville/index.html. I assume that Nancy may be found with her children William (age ca. 18) and Nancy (age ca. 15) in the Sissonville area of Kanawha County. Alexander (age 30) was still in Fayette County. I have checked all her married children in 1850 and the only one she could have been with was John Brown JOHNSON (age ca. 27) who may also be found in Kanawha (or Fayette) in 1850; he was in Kanawha 1860 and 1870. In 1850 he would be listed with his wife Mary Ann (age ca. 28) and son Julian (age ca. 3). In 1860 I have Nancy in the household of her son William Hunter JOHNSON; her son Alexander JOHNSON is living next door. By 1870 Nancy was deceased and her sons were still living next door to each other. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cathy
