| Anecdote | | So I was looking at you awesome tree. Noticed that you have three of Nicholas and Margarett Ann Johnson's daughters pink… If you follow the TroupCo GA censuses, you will see that they only had one daughter. Ann Johnson and Elizabeth S. Only appear with Margarett after Nicholas’ death. I found where Seaborn Johnson was the guardian of Ann Johnson and Sankey Johnson was granted guardianship of Elizabeth S. I believe they were family members who lost their parent(s) and since Margarett was a widow, had a farm, had many slaves and was quite wealthy, she most likely agreed to take them in. Margarett T, however, is most definitely their only daughter, who appears in 1850. In 1870, Margarett T and her husband Richard Christopher and their child were living with their mother, Margarett Ann Johnson; and in 1880, Margarett Ann goes to Heard Co GA and is found living with her son Nicholas T. And his wife.
I’ve been analyzing all this for my documentation and I’ve been browsing the census, probate, guardianship etc records and I have found all of this. If you would like the documentation, let me know.1 |
