Notes:
from Del Whiteside Jan 13, 2007 12:35 AM
children of Elza Johnson and Elizabeth Stinson:
William Franklin Johnson or W.F.or Frank b: May 29, 1851 in of , Brown, Illinois.d. April 15, 1929 Margaret Ellen Johnson Dean b. 1852
Julia Johnson Metz, b.1854
Robert Preston Johnson or Robbie, b. 1856
Henry Jackson Johnson or Jackie, b. Sept 29, 1858
Nancy Jane Johnson Dean b. Sept 3, 1860
plus: she's on the records as Martha Isabel Johnson Milliron b. in the year 1862, and that is all I know about her. Unless I find something in the obits or in personal letters, I'll stick with I know nothing more.
Note: I have personally met 4 of the 6 mentioned, not Ella not Julia. Of course, No. 1 was my grandpa, lived with him and Sarah before moving to Galesburg. Mom called him uncle Robbie, he and Erma Rasmussen Johnson came for a visit in Galesburg. abt1939. I believe I have a photo of him at that time. Jackie Johnson was a very pleasant man to visit. and Aunt Nancy married Uncle John Dean which is a double cross over. John Dean was my Father's mother's (Martha Dean Whiteside) brother.
