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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have a copy from Luther B Vale, Brown Co. clerk, dated 7/22/1950, as follows: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: This is to certify, according to the records now available in this Court House, Elsa Johnson and Elizabeth Jane Stinson were married on August 4th, 1850 at Mt.
