Looking for info on my African American Great Grandfather Richard H Johnson (1853-1929). I have found that on the 1870 US census that he was born in Canada, so i searched and found him, his parents and siblings in the 1861 Canada census living in Lincoln, St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada. On the1870 US census it states that his family immigrated to the US in 1866 (after the war).

I am very interested to find any other information that is available on this family

HELP

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thank You
