JOHNSON, Guilford Co., NC, 1780-1790 timeframe
I am researching my family line -- MAJOR, McLEAN, PAISLEY -- in Guilford Co., NC.In a Will for Thomas MAJOR, dated 1789, he bequeaths a sum of twenty pounds to "my grandaughter Elenor Johnson."This would lead me to believe that one of Thomas Major's daughters married a JOHNSON man.
This MAJOR family was from Ireland, settled in Pennsylvania before the Revolution, and moved to Guilford Co. about 1778-80.I find record of a marriage in Pennsylvania for Martha MAJOR to Arthur JOHNSON, but this is just a slim lead.
Do you have in your JOHNSON genealogy any reference to a woman marrying into your line whose maiden name was MAJOR or MAJORS?
Any help is truly appreciated, and I'm happy to share information.
