Johnson Brick Wall - Need Help
After many years I'm still trying to find my gg grandfather, Moses Johnson. Last info I found on him was on the 1880 28 June census Hamilton County, IL Allen Precinct, Village of Walpole, age 68, listed with second wife.
I would like to know when and where he died.
Moses Johnson born 1811 in Washington Co, Georgia. He came with his family to Hamilton Co, Illonis about 1821. Moses married Martha Ann Brown 9 Sep 1830 in Hamilton Co, IL. Martha b. 1810 KY and she died before 1878 in Hamilton Co, IL.
Moses Johnson remarried to Dorothy A. Bains Presley 3 Nov 1878 in Hamilton Co, IL. W. P. McDonald and Henry Presley witnesses.
This was the 4th marriage for Dorothy, a widower with 3 children. Dorothy A. Bains born 1837 in TN.
I found info on the two Step Daughters, Martha and Laura Presley. The mother was not living with either of them after 1880.
The 3rd stepdaughter, Curni Parthena age 6, I did not find any info on her after this census.
I found the three grandsons, they are the children of my great grandfather, William Riley Johnson. Moses or Dorothy was not living with any of them after the 1880 census.
What happened to Moses and Dorothy after 1880?
Your help very much appreciated.
I've been trying for years and keep running into a blank wall.
This was a large family, if you are related or if you can suggest anything I would welcome any help you can give.
