Notes for Owen Hawes Johnson

Owen Johnson was born near Tumbull Creek in Bladen County and moved with his parents when he was two years old to a large tract of timbered land on Six Runs Creek near the present village of Ingold.

Written in a letter by Annie Belle Johnson Stone to Donna Joy Johnson on December 15, 1996:
"I have the spinning wheel and pewter spoons from this marriage.
Their home stands about 2 miles east of Ingold in poor repair. For years Jack Stafford owned it and used it as a tenant house. A few years ago Bobby Johnson, a cousin, purchased the house and is in the process of restoring it. He has a long way to go. The house is put together with wooden pegs."

The following paragraphs are quoted directly from "The Family of Cicero Howard Johnson and Eugenia Theodora Robinson - the Sixteenth Generation Descendants of Sir John de Johnstone" compiled by Merla Johnson Cline and Betty Gene Caison Best, (1989):
"15. Owen Hawes Johnson
Owen was a Methodist preacher who for a time taught school in Mississippi but after his marriage to Aholibah Howard built the house in Ingold and came there to live.
About 1-1/2 miles from Ingold stands the old home of Owen H. Johnson built in 1844. This house was two stories high and consisted of eleven rooms. It was built of good material and was put together with pegs instead of nails.
This was a large plantation and extended over a mile to the river. On the lower part ran a branch. He damned up this branch and made a pond and built a mill house on it and ground corn into meal for the farmers for miles around. At his death his son, Cicero H. Johnson, inherited it. He and his family of seven children lived there. Eugene C. Johnson inherited this plantation and lived there for several years until it was sold."
