Thanks for the info.My second great grandfather said in a letter he wrote that his grandfather, Uriah, was a second cousin to Pres. Andrew.Even considering the "second cousin misconception" I have yet to find a Uriah in Andrew's family that would be my ancestor.I did find a strong possibility that is through Sylvanus' wife's line of Carrol's but it is through marriage.It's nice to know there are other siblings that I haven't discovered yet.Maybe I'll find a different connection someday.I've had to temporarily curtail my Johnson search but would like to hear from anyone whose knows of a cousin named Uriah born about 1770-1780 in NC and married to a Jane Carr or Carrell.There is so much similarity in this Uriah and Jane to mine that they must be mine but I need to prove they have a son, Abington born 1801.
