Person:Mary Boggs (10)

Johnson family researchers say John M. Johnson was born about 1842 and was a son of Jesse and Mary APolly@ Boggs Johnson. Jesse Johnson, a native of NC, and Mary Boggs, a native of Lee Co, VA, were married Aug 27, 1826 in Lawrence Co, KY. These same records indicate that John M. Johnson and Josephine Wellman were married Nov 22, 1860. The 1870 Elliott Co census shows John M. Johnson living in the Little Fork Precinct. He was 28 years of age; Josephine was 28. Four children were listed: Elisha, 7; Mariah, 5; Bennet, 3; and Mary, 1. The 1890 Military Census and the Elliott Co Tax Assessments both indicate that John M. Johnson was still a resident of the Little Fork Precinct. He owned 100 areas of land and named John Gilliam as being his nearest neighbor. Another John M. Johnson is named on the tax records for the Little Fork area, indicating that he owned 130 acres and A. (Alfred) Waddell as his nearest neighbor. I do not find John M. Johnson in the 1900 records; however, he was found still living in the Little Fork area when the 1910 census was taken. He was 67; Josephine was 66.
