Searching for a man named John Johnson who was born somewhere in Georgia about 1793 is a project I've shied away from. It looms larger when I'm in Georgia for weeks at a time. Will I ever be able to identify John's parents? Here's my first post about looking for John Johnson's roots.
John Johnson was born ca 1793 in Georgia. He married Polly Greer, whose family was from Greene County, Georgia. Was he in Pulaski County, Georgia? There was one Johnson in the extracted information of early Pulaski County will books; not a name currently associated with my Johnson family (Matinza Johnson). Perhaps Greene County is a better place to concentrate.
The Johnsons also lived in Wilson County, Tennessee. Moved to Illinois between 1829 and 1832 based upon the birthplace of their children.
They were in Eagle Precinct, Gallatin County, Illinois, by 1850, probably between 1829 and 1832 based upon the ages and birthplace of John and Polly (Greer) Johnson's children Elizabeth and Lucy.
