I am descended from Irvine Johnson born 1 July 1817 to John Johnson and Elizabeth Campbell in Madison Co.KY. John JOhnson is never referred to as John Irvine Johnson in any records that I have found.Henry Maggard and Thomas Bright had several land transactions in Sullivan Co.TN about the time of Jacob Maggard and Susan Bright marriage which indicated that they were the fathers of this couple.
It has just come to my attention that the obituary in CA of Irvine Johnson in 1889 states that Susan Bright, the mother of his wife Elizabeth Ann Maggard, was born in SOUTH CAROLINA in 1783.
Susan Bright Maggard was living with Irvine Johnson and his family at time of 1850 census in MO, but Irvine and his family moved to CA 1853-1854. The question is, did they move after the death of Susan in MO, or did she attempt the trip to CA and die along the way? There seems to be no record of her death or burial anywhere.
John Johnson was a judge in Scotland Co.MO and Irvine was very prominent in CA, and the family kept meticulous Bible Records, etc., and the biographies of many members of this family were recorded and published, [John Johnson Family Bible, Missouri State Genealogical Association Journal, Vol XX:4, 2000, p 215] so I find it hard to imagine that they would say that Susan was born in SC if she was not. Think this requires further study! Your research is wonderful!!
