Ethel Volans and William Johnson

My great grandparents; info from my grandfather's SS# application. He was Benjamin James Johnson, born to them Sept 11,1892, in New York City "Jersey side". He told family members his father, William was killed when a train amputated his legs. His mother remarried and had more children...she and some children died in influenza epidemic. Ethel was said to be "French-Canadian Indian". Grandpa went to live with an Uncle, and ran away about age 12. At least one sister went on an orphan train to Kansas. The Uncle had a red beard and black hair. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks. Grandpa went on to marry Grace Lucretia Yarger from Lewisburg PA and they lived in Canandaigua, New York where they raised six sons, including my father Francis Bernard Johnson.
