James Cloice Johnson ²

   General Notes:

The Johnsons on our Mother's side originally came from Scotland. They were Protestants and were Quakers.
This is the direct Johnson line from 1696 to 1833, which are the dates of our great-grandparents.
Aunt Demis Johnson said James Claice Johnson had a very serious Abdominal injury and there was no surgery to repair injuries like that during those early years. He lived for some time after that but the injury was the cause of his death.
This information was handed down to Elsie Fowler Newman by Aunt Clara Spurgeon.
