One of 4 Sons of Brick Wall: William P. Johnson (b. 1785 NC -1868 Tippah
Co. MS) & Susannah Henley (1785-1855).
Henley family were from Dorsetshire England- migrated to MD to VA to GA.
They were educated, wealthy & prominent citizens.

William & Susannah had most of their children Clarke Co. Athens GA. At the
time most of Susannah's family were in Washington Wilkes GA. They owned
land there & also Marshall MS, Bedford Co. TN, & Tippah MS. Study on
another son Levi C. Johnson reveals some land deeds & other data. One son
William Travis Johnson left Bedford Co. TN for Fayette Co. TN & his family
lived close to his uncle Bartlett Johnson.

Bartlett is my GGGrandfather. He married Eliza Bostick Hampton (whose
parents were Hampton Cousins of the VA line of Hamptons. Bartlett began his
family in Marshall MS
Where he owned land & moved to Fayette Co. TN where the rest of the children
were born. Eliza had Hampton family members who can also be found in
Fayette Co. Census's- Parents (Henry C. Hampton + Mary Polly Bostick Hampton
& older brother (John P. Hampton + Paulina W. Smith Overby).

Bartlett Johnson's son:
Dr. Albert Joseph Johnson 1859 TN-1941 TN is my GGrandfather.
He married Marianna Mildred Thornton (whose parents were Thornton Cousins of
the Gloucester VA line of Thorntons). Her family members can be found in

Re: Joseph Winn Johnson
Bartlett's & Levi's brother was Joseph Winn Johnson.
Joseph Winn Johnson married first Zilly Ann Sowell (mother of all children)
second Martha Chambers (Street)
Children were born in Tippah MS. There was only one son George Washington
Johnson who relocated with family to Erath Co. TX.
George married Lauren Francis McKenzie whose mother was a "Winn" of the VA
line.
Would this be a connection to his father Joseph Winn Johnson?
George had 2 sons found in TX census's. James & Claude



Any help appreciated. Thanks, Debby
