The Descendents of John Wesley Johnson  Summer 2010

John Wesley Johnson brought his family from Polk County, Tennessee after the end of the war and just prior to the taking of the 1870 Jackson County, TN census. The family settled in what later became known as Clay County, TN. They lived in a little log cabin that is located in the Oak Grove Community, just off Hwy 52E, in Clay County.

Some of John Wesley's family remains to this day in Clay and Macon Counties in Tennessee.  Two of his sons migrated to Oklahoma and many of their descendents are still there.  John Wesley, himself, died in route to Oklahoma, somewhere in Arkansas.

We had cousins from Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Texas and Oklahoma join their Tennessee cousins on the farm. It was a HOT day but, it was good to meet some "new" cousins and visit with some "old" cousins, too.
