Looking for ancestors, descendants and siblings of S. E. (Samuel Eccles ?) JOHNSON, b. Hillsboro, Tx. abt 1902. He mar OLLIE BETTS abt 1920 and had 2 ch: LOUIS, b. 31 Dec 1921 in Vernon, Tx. and ETHEL BELLE, b. 21 Oct 1924. He had brothers, HEBER (Hebert?) JOHNSON and WILL JOHNSON (the oldest); and sisters GLADYS JOHNSON, TOMMIE JOHNSON, ETHEL JOHNSON and "Sister Babe". I believe S. E. worked on the Wagonner Ranch (W. T. Wagonner Estate ?) or perhaps the Matador Ranch in Tx. He died sometime between 1924 - 1926 and was buried in East View Cemetery in Vernon. Have not been able to find a death certificate. Would appreciate any info on his parents and other ancestors.

I'm a great granddaughter of JOHNNY J. JOHNSON (b 17 Jan 1856). He came to the Walton Co., FL. area with a son, ABRAHAM L. JOHNSON (b 9 Sep 1887). Supposedly Johnny killed his brother-in-law and brought my grandfather down here in a croker sack. Left a family somewhere in GA. or AL. Johnny was married to LULA (mnuk). In Walton Co., he married MARTHA CAIN 17 May 1793. I believe he probably had family somewhere else. Abraham mar ALICE CROSSING around Crestview, FL. & had 2 ch: JULIAN M., JOHNSON & NAOMI JOHNSON, I think. Abraham is buried at Red Oak Cemetery in Calhoun Co.

Hi My name is WILLIAM BEN JOHNSON and have just started a genealogy search for my roots. I have somewhat of a tree already. My father is ELWIN EUGENE JOHNSON; his wife WANDA ISABEL JORDAN of Gordon, TX (1920). His parents were LUTHER BEN JOHNSON and ODESSA HUGH ALEXANDER. I think born in 1890, possibly Coleman, TX area. Luther's parents were RUFUS ALBERT JOHNSON and MARY MARSHALL, from abt 1865 and possibly from Coleman, TX area. I have found a reference to MARION FRANCIS JOHNSON (wife Mary Ann) abt 1836 in Hopkins, KY. who had a son named Rufus Albert Johnson but don't know if he is my relative.

I am looking for any information about my great grandmother, Mrs. LUVENIA JOHNSON. Her maiden name we think was ROSE. She along with her father and brother (both I think named FRANK ROSE) moved to FL. from AL. abt 1890-1900. The father may have killed a man in AL. Luvenia married at least twice (Johnson and Howard). She had 9 children before she died after having the last abt 1920, may be buried in Bronson or Swanson, Florida. Her father Frank worked in the phosphate mines of north Florida. Any info that can be given regarding any of these relatives is greatly appreciated. [EDITOR's note: Tracye wrote that she believes Luvenia was probably a Seminole Indian. Sorry, there were no Seminole Indians in Alabama in the 1890's or ever; in fact, there weren't ANY Indians there then.]
