Johnson families of Lorain County, Ohio...
If you are a descendant of Lorain County, Ohio, Johnson families...
401. Stephen Johnson 1762-1832 m. Phebe Burr (1764 - 18707)
Children (mostly of Lorain County, OH):
Nathaniel m. Rhoda Crowner (my ggg-grandparents)
Cynthia
Stephen Burr
Nathan Porter
Johathan
402. Didymus Johnson 1768 - 1832
or 403. Joshua Johnson (1788 - 1849, d. LaGrange, Lorain County, OH)
Then you will be interested in this information...I came across an interesting website the other evening, when I happen to do a search on my ggg-grandparents again, Nathaniel & Rhoda (Crowner) Johnson, whose family is outlined in my message No. 26707 in this forum. They were from New York, and then moved to settle and live the remainder of their lives in LaGrange, Lorain County, Ohio. They are interred in the LaGrange Twp. Cemetery where I visited their gravesite this August 2006.
One response to my search raised my eyebrows, because a name like "Rhoda Crowner" is fairly uncommon... there in the body of the list was a reference to this website:

Does anyone have information about this website, and has the transfer of information from the original publication been proof read?
We are:
No. 786 - Nathaniel Johnson (Stephen-7, Stephen-6, Stephen-5, Isaac-4, Isaac-3, Isaac-2, John-1).
...and then we would continue, Nathaniel-8, Stephen B.-9, Addie-10, Vernon Sheldon-11, Jack Sheldon-12, Jack Sheldon, Jr.(my generation)-13.
No. 786 Nathaniel is the son of Stephen Johnson (1762-1832) and Phebe Burr (1764-1807). This became very interesting to me as we see Nathaniel's brother named "Stephen Burr," as was my grandfather... Vernon Burr Sheldon. We never knew the background of the name "Burr" as we do now.
Does any one know if this Phoebe Burr is somehow related to VP Aaron Burr?
Thanks for checking this out!
