Friday Johnson: Biographical Information

Friday Johnson and his wife Patsey Johnson are of interest to our research project as they may have ties to Drayton family plantations in Charleston, South Carolina.

Friday Johnson's Freedmen's Bank record, dated October 4, 1871, names Patsey Johnson as his wife. A Patsey Johnson is listed as a cousin on the Freedmen's Bank record for Ellen Wilson. Ellen was born and raised on Drayton Hall plantation in Charleston County, South Carolina.

In his Freedmen's Bank account application, Friday gave his parents' names as Adam and Hagar. His siblings were all deceased except sister Violet Washington.

Friday and Patsey lived at 54 Bull Street. Friday worked cutting wood for a Marl company. He listed three children. Son Edward was living; son Friday and daughter Louisa were deceased.

Friday's sister Violet Washington, age 32, had opened a Freedmen's Bank account two years earlier in Charleston, South Carolina on August 14, 1869. On her application, she stated that she was born in Georgetown County, South Carolina, her parents were Adam and Hagar (both deceased), her brothers were Friday Johnson and Peter Gilliard, and her sisters were Maria, Fanny and Diana (all deceased).

Violet's husband was Stephen Washington. They lived on Green Street near Dr. Bellinger and had no children in 1869. Violet was a seller in the Lower Market.
