Surnames: Johnson, Stanley, Crabtree
wondering if anyone can help me link the Johnsons, Crabtrees and Stanleys. Here's my clues. My direct ancestor, a thomas Stanley johnson, was born in Virginia "near Richmond" in 1817 and came into Ohio through the Cumberland Gap, quite possibly into Harrison County. My first definite connection for him is around 1850 in Wooster OH, where he marries a nice vermont-born girl and rises to local prominence as a judge and a banker. The only other thing I know is that he had a brother named James Crabtree Johnson. I am able to find lots of Johnson-Stanley links, mostly among Virginia quakers, but no links to the Crabtree name. My theory is that the brothers' mother or one of their grandmothers was a crabtree...and that possibly in marrying her, Johnson married out of meeting and got kicked out of the Quakers....any suggestions gratefully appreciated.
