Hi! Glad to "meet" you! Feel free to explore my Family Tree at http://www.myheritage.com/site-family-tree-171700371/carroll-johnso... My mother is a Wise/Self and my dad is Johnson/Plonk both from Lincoln County, NC. You're welcome to any information on that tree. When I get a chance, I'll explore your page and comments to see if I have anything to add. I'm pushing to work on indexing the 1940 Census as a volunteer on FamilySearch.com right now. You might enjoy working as an indexer on their thrus7 to get finished... Before I started to focus on the 1940 Census, indexing was a good boost when I got frustrated with my family tree work. I'm indexing Alamance Cy, NC, Maybe I'll run across family! Take care! Kathy
Sue, I am a Cole by marriage. I am not aware of any of my husband's relatives being from Arkansas. His roots are in Missouri and go back to Wisconsin and then New York before that, with his ancestors originally coming over from England before the Revolutionary War. If you still think there may be some relationship, let me know -- I pushed the button to ignore your friendship, then thought, oops, maybe I should have at least looked into it! Now I don't know how to undo that. ~Dawn Cole
Sue, my wife, Mazie Huggins Hightower, is connected to the Lawrence Sim Johnson family of the Orangeburg County/Bamberg County area of South Carolina's Lowcountry through here late mother, Leila Johnson Huggins McCracken. Lawrence "Simmie" Johnson was Leila Johnson's father, or my wife's grandfather.
Lawrence "Simmie" Johnson had a brother named "Johnny" Johnson. One of "Johnny's" Johnsons sons -- James Otis "Nook" Johnson -- married my father's sister Lottie Mae Hightower. So all of the children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, who have both Hightower blood and Johnson blood are my Johnson relatives.
But the offspring of "Johnny" Johnson's brother "Simmie" Johnson are just related to me, because of my marriage into that line -- they are "in-laws".
But, at the annual Johnson Family re-union held each year in Bamberg County area of Embree Community just might have Johnsons Cousins, who are blood kin to both me and my wife, even though she and have not found any close relationship between us that would make a difference, etc.
