Chris,
Hi,
I am descended from Seth Johnson, Willian John Johnson, John Richard Johnson.
Willian John Johnson is the brother of Joab and Alfred.You have him listed as William Riley.I don't know which is correct. He doesn't have a headstone. William Riley would make since because he had a brother named John. I do have one of his sons listed as William Riley but it doesn't say he is a Jr.
John Richard Johnson b. February 15, 1861, was 1st married to Rebecca Isbell (Bell)Berry. They had 6 children before her death in 1894.He remarried (she was either the housekeeper or a nanny to the children, I have heard both) Sarah Pritchard, they had another 11 children.He and Sarah moved to Twin Falls, ID, where he died February 05, 1954
My line is thru Lillie Mae Johnson, his 4th child from Bell.
She lived to be 96 and died 7-23-1984.
She married Joseph Thomas Berton "Bert" Walker onFebruary 28, 1905.She had 17 children (3 set of twins)only 9 childrens lived to be adults and only 1 of the 9 was female.
My grandfather was her oldest son. Lloyd John Walker.My mother Mable Marie Walker Sutherland Elkins.Then myself Teresa Marie Sutherland Hammer.
There are still 3 sons of Lillie Mae living.Her daughter Emily Cuba Walker Wright passed away June 7, 2008 at the age of 94 1/2.At the time of her death she was still able to drive and lived alone.
I have a list of all William's children and all of John Richard's.I don't have much other than their names.On my direct line I have a lot more information.
If you would like more just let me know.
