A bit more info to share...


Jesse Robert Johnson's children:

Emma Jane Johnson
Deann Johnson
Walter Lee Johnson (my g grandfather)
Peterson Johnson

I've also come across some info for an Annie J Johnson being his sister...... not sure if she is a different sister or Emma Jane.


I've recently found Emma Jane's family while researching for my best friend, whom I believe to be related to me. My best friend (of almost 35 years) mother is an Odom. I have not found their connection to me yet, but did find Emma Jane as my g grandfathers sister. I had her as Annie J with no further info.

I now have Emma Jane Johnson married to Henry Clay Odom and some of their descendants. This was an exciting discovery for me, because I now knew who the Odom's in one of my mom's family cemeteries are. A twist is...... I only know 1 of the living descendants was related through mom's side (he attends my Lewter-Beale reunion) & now I can actually prove his line back to Emma Jane, in my dad's side as well.

I believe my best friend may be related through 1 or both sides. Research continues. I & 1 of my sisters has been tested through 23andme & in November, my other sister & my best friend will be tested. So the more we know..............
