Person:Albert Johnson (51)

According to Jody Dillard:

Albert John Pickney (sic "Pinckney") Johnson was the eldest son of Leroy and Lousia Eliza (Arnold) Johnson of South Carolina. He moved with his parents to Alabama and then to Arkansas, and finally settled in Blue Ridge, Falls County, Texas in 1872.

On August 1, 1875, Albert was married to Lydia Ann Clementine Jackson. She was the daughter of John Wesley Jackson and his wife, Lydia Berry (Clements) Jackson of Gwinnet County, Georgia.

Albert was a handsome, brown-eyed, black haired man of a height of six feet, while Clementine was a petite miss. They had two children: Clarac Alma Johnson who married George Woodland and an infant son, Albert Carl Johnson who died a month after his birth.

Albert lived only four years after purchasing one quarter league of land at Hog Island, and Clementine retained about 800 acres, part of which is still owned by her great granddaughter, Mrs. Lavonne (Pratt) Rogers. After Albert's death, Clementine took her eight-year-old daughter to California for two years, to Seattle for one year, for visits with the Jackson relatives. After their return to Falls County, Clarac Alma was educated in Temple, Texas for three years. She married on January 2, 1895, one week after her sixteenth birthday to George Woodland who was soon to be 28 years old.
