"Frank" Johnson, since he was living next door to Frank and Betsy at the age of 86 in the home of James' son, James Jr., in 1860, in Llano Co., TX.  In Sep 2009, Chris Johnson says that indeed our speculation is correct.]

25.08--John William Johnson (6 Jun 1854 - 28 Nov 1937) Wife: Elizabeth Evelyn “Eliza” Stone (12 Mar 1853 - 1931)


25.08--John Washington "J. W." William Johnson, [Malry Sr. Note: My grandfather J. W. was John Washington, not William.] b. ca. 6 Jun 1855 in TX [age 25 in 3 Jun 1880 census of Commissioner's Pct. #1, Llano Co., TX]; d. 1933 in Alamogordo, Otero Co., NM; bd. unk.; m.

Llano City Cem., Llano, Llano Co., TX} and Celia Lavinia Scott {b. 22 Jun 1824 in KY; d. 30 Nov 1919in Pontotoc, Mason Co., TX}]; d. unk.; bd. unk.); they reported in 1910 that they had 10 ch., 8 of whom were still living; [Malry Sr. Note: Liza Stone was married first to a Mr. Bacchus. One of the Stones was pretty shady, as the story goes. J.W. and Liza came from Llano Co. to Mountain Park, a tiny place just beyond High Rolls, NM. (Malry says it the Texas /LAN-oh/, not the Spanish /YAWN-oh/) ].

[26.01]--William (Sanford?) Johnson Bacchus, b. ca. 1871 in TX [age 9 in 3 Jun 1880 census of Commissioner's Pct. #1, Llano Co., TX]; d. unk.; bd. unk.; m. unk.; unk. ch.; [Malry Sr. Note: Mr. Bacchus had three kids--Sanford, Mallie, and Ceilly--by his first wife. When she died, he brought those three to his second marriage with Eliza Stone, and they had Johnny. Then he died, I think, and she brought her three step-kids and Johnny to her second marriage--with J.W.  So the only ones who are children of J.W. and Liza are from Alfro on down; Johnny is their half-brother, and the first three aren't related to us at all.]

[26.02]--"Mallie" Johnson Bacchus [See Malry Sr. Note, above.], daughter, b. unk. date in TX [not listed in 3 Jun 1880 census of Commissioner's Pct. #1, Llano Co., TX, and presumed married and living elsewhere]; d. unk.; bd. unk.; m. unk.; unk. ch.;

26.05--Ray Johnson (twin), b. ca. 1879 in TX [age 10 mo. in 3 Jun 1880 census of Commissioner's Pct. #1, Llano Co., TX, with "July" penned beside age]; d. unk.; bd. unk.; m. Ms. Gordon (sister of Willie? b. unk.; d. unk.; bd. unk.); unk. ch.

26.06--Roy Johnson (twin), b. ca. Jul 1879 in TX [age 10 mo. in 3 Jun 1880 census of Commissioner's Pct. #1, Llano Co., TX, with "July" penned beside age]; d. unk.; bd. unk.; m. Willie Lora Gordon (b. 24 Mar 1890 in High Rolls, NM; d. ca. 1930 [when Malry, Sr. was ca. 9 or 10]; prob. bd. in Alamogordo, NM); 6 ch.

[Sharron's Note: Dad's mom was Willie Gordon and was married to Roy Johnson... They had 4 sons that lived to adulthood, Robert, Harold, Malry and Clinton. I don't recall William and Samuel although they could have been some of the kids that died younger. The only daughter that I have ever heard mentioned was Chloe who died in a house fire when she was only a young girl... 11 or 12, I think.  Grandma Johnson died when dad was only about 9 or10, so that would have been just about 1930??

By 1920 they were living in Caballo, New Mexico, because Dad was born there, and he was born in 1920. Dad and Gerry are gone for the summer, and getting him to sit down and discuss his family is like pulling his teeth. *laughs*  He keeps telling me to stop finding more of his relatives.  *shrugs*  Perhaps we could all corral him when he gets home and bombard him with questions.  I'll also mention to Gerry that maybe she could get Dad to tell her his tree and she could write it down for us... she would do that, and Dad would be more apt to talk to her, I think....

I do know that Roy had a twin brother, Ray.  And Ray was married to Willie's sister, but I can't remember her name right off the top of my head.  Dad's grandma Gordon pretty much raised him and the other boys.. Robert was married, I think, when his mom died, but Harold, Dad and Clinton were still young and at home.  Robert died in 1970 in Flagstaff, Arizona, and is buried in Winslow. He had 2 daughters, Mary and Betty.  I think Mary lives in Deming and I think her last name is Raley... Malene would know that because she used to work with Malene.  Betty died several years ago.  If you could find Mary you would have a plethora of information, I think..]

27.01--Chloe Johnson, b. unk.; died young--age 11-12--due to severe burns; birth order not certain;

27.02--Robert Johnson, b. ca. 1910; d. 1970 in Flagstaff, AZ; bd. Winslow, AZ; m. Nettie (nee unk., b. unk.); 2 ch.

28.01--Mary Johnson, b. unk.; lives in Deming; m. Mr. Raley; Le Larson?

29.00--Robert; Malry thinks there were several children, perhaps by an earlier marriage; Maylene: I believe she goes by the name "Le Larson" now, and the last I heard, she was with her son, Robert, in Farmington.  I think he owns a car dealership there, or something.  Hope this helps!  I had a phone number for her at one time, but have kind of lost touch with her since she left for Farmington.

28.02--Betty Johnson, b. unk.; d. several years ago;

29.00--daughter and son-in-law live in Lordsburg, Sharron thinks.

27.03--Harold Johnson, b. ca. 1918 (ca. 1912?) in NM; d. ca. 1992; m. Dorothy "Aunt Dot" (nee unk.; d. ca. 1985-86)

Hello Malry,
 
My name is Leanna Burgess Veazey, and my great-grandfather was Fred Washington Johnson, brother to your Roy Clinton Johnson.  I tried to contact you through Ancestry but wasn't successful. If you are still working on your Johnson family heritage, I would love to share info with you.

Would love to hear from you,

Looks like we have some people in common. Yes, James Johnson, Sr., was Francis' father. How do I know? I've been doing this type of research since I was a Junior in high school, 27 yrs ago (I'm now 44).

My name is Chris "Chip" Johnson. I am related to the Johnsons by way of direct lineage:
Christopher Gene "Chip" Johnson (me)
Gene Raymond Johnson (father) married Norma June Ward (mother)
Irvan Woodrow Johnson (grandfather) married Nettie Mary Mildred Johnson (grandmother)
George Francis Johnson (great grandfather) married Priscilla Winningham (great grandmother)
Charles Walker "Charlie" Johnson (2nd great grandfather) married Laurinda Jane "Wren" Reeves (2nd great grandmother)
Francis J "Frank" Johnson (3rd great grandfather) (some folks have his middle initial as W) married Elizabeth "Betsy" Townsend (3rd great grandmother)
James Johnson Sr (4th great grandfather) - never known wife or parents, even after working with Ancestry.com

I began my genealogy research from some information I received from Dr. Johnie Lee Reeves (of Austin, TX -- relates through my 2nd great grandmother). Since I had some "road blocks" in the research, I had a subscription to Ancestry.com. I found a bunch of information through that web site. I also had to do some merging and correcting some errors.

What I'm attempting to do now is to re-introduce myself to other researchers, so we can merge information together and get a better picture of the family as a whole.

Something you might not know, but through Elizabeth "Betsy" Townsend we relate as a descendant, to King Robert I of France. There are other famous relations, but I didn't want to toss that information on you to begin with.

I am willing to work with all of the family researchers, so if I can assist in any way, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Chris "Chip" Johnson

P.S. Dad didn't want a Jr. in the family, but Chip off the "Ol' block" was OK with him.

This is the obviously the father of  the above James; however, since they're right next door to each other with the same size/value of farms, I highly suspect that James, Sr., is the father of Frances as well.  If he is, we can trace the families' migration route from Virginia to Illinois to Arkansas to Texas.

Frances is the father of William, 19, and John, 5; however, we don't know for sure yet which one of these--indeed, if either--is the John (William) Johnson who appears in the 1880 census below.  My search of Ancestry.com uncovered only one Frances Johnson in Llano Co. in this census, however, leading me to believe that one or the other of them is most likely the same John (William) Johnson.

Elizabeth Johnson 37

William Johnson 19

 In 1850 he is listed as William J. Johnson. He's also found in 1870--see below.  [This small x stands for "Attended school within the year," and so for the other five as well.]

Frances M. Johnson 18

 Possibly named for Frances Marion of SC, the "Swamp Fox" of the Am. Revolution.

Cropoloney E. Johnson 9

TX x
 Incredible creativity in this name--where did they get that?! :-) Janice Stensrude says her name is Carpolonia (aka "Carp" and "Lonie").

John Johnson 5
 [1855] m


TX x
 This must be the father-to-be of twins Roy and Ray. The only evidence I have in that regard, however, is his name, age, and geographical location. Further, I cannot find him in 1870; only in 1880 do I have the correct John Johnson, 25. But Janice Stensrude says that this is he, so she must have other evidence that I do not, and I present him here as her find.

Lite S. Johnson 2
 [1858] m


TX
Also an interesting name. Janice Stensrude has him as Lite Stapleton Johnson.

Charles W. Johnson 7 mo.

Possibly named for Charles Wesley...

 This has to be the same William Johnson (son of Frank and Elizabeth) who was 19 in the 1860 census and 9 in 1850. He is the right age and is living in Llano Co. not far from where his brother Asa was found (see above). But where is their brother John who was five in1860 and should be 15 here?

I personally think this is supposed to be the John who was five in1860, is 25 in 1880, and should be 15 here.

We are discovering John and Liza to be the "furthest back persons" we have for sure--to date--in this line so far; they are two of the ggg-grandparents of Malry Jr.'s and my grandsons!  Thanks to Janice Stensrude for the tip on where to look!    :-)

This is Malry, Sr.'s, father and Malry, Jr.'s, grandfather.

 Roy reports that he is married (as opposed to widowed or divorced), yet she is not in this picture. But Sharron wrote to say she died when her dad--Malry Sr., was only about 9-10, so that's ca. 1930. We're thinking she had only died very recently when this census was taken.
As you can see, Roy--residence #19--was living right between two of his brothers-in-law and one house away from his parents-in-law. This census showed that he was paying them only $3.00 a month rent for living on the Gordon family ranch--a real gift in just about ANY economy!

 And this is his mother-in-law; Malry says she is the former Mallie Backus. I wonder if her name rhymes with "alley" or if it rhymes with (and is just a variant spelling of) Molly. Her name also appears in the cemeterylist below; however, either her date of birth is mistranscribed there and should have been 1865, or this refers to a much younger person and namesake of hers:  Gordon, Mallie E., b. 1985, d. 19--

Subject: Re: Your Johnson Line

Hi John,

Dad's mom was Willie Gordon and was married to Roy Johnson... They had 4 sons that lived to adulthood, Robert, Harold, Malry and Clinton. I don't recall William and Samuel although they could have been some of the kids that died younger. The only daughter that I have ever heard mentioned was Chloe who died in a house fire when she was only a young girl... 11 or 12, I think.  Grandma Johnson died when dad was only about 9 or10, so that would have been just about 1930??
By 1920 they were living in Caballo, New Mexico, because Dad was born there, and he was born in 1920.
Dad and Gerry are gone for the summer, and getting him to sit down and discuss his family is like pulling his teeth. *laughs*  He keeps telling me to stop finding more of his relatives.  *shrugs*  Perhaps we could all corral him when he gets home and bombard him with questions.  I'll also mention to Gerry that maybe she could get Dad to tell her his tree and she could write it down for us... she would do that, and Dad would be more apt to talk to her, I think....

I do know that Roy had a twin brother, Ray.  And Ray was married to Willie's sister, but I can't remember her name right off the top of my head.  Dad's grandma Gordon pretty much raised him and the other boys.. Robert was married, I think, when his mom died, but Harold, Dad and Clinton were still young and at home.  Robert died in 1970 in Flagstaff, Arizona, and is buried in Winslow. He had 2 daughters, Mary and Betty.  I think Mary lives in Deming and I think her last name is Raley... Malene would know that because she used to work with Malene.  Betty died several years ago.  If you could find Mary you would have a plethora of information, I think..

In God's Love,
Sharron

Hey, John...yes, Roy was Grandpa Johnson's name...In the 1920's this Johnson clan was living in the Caballo, N.M. area... Grandpa and Grandma had moved from Texas recently before... somewhere in the Commanche River area, I think...My dad was born in Sept. of 1920 (Robert, Samuel, Harrold and a sister, I believe, were older) and his mother died when he was about seven years old... soon after that, my Grandpa and Robert, maybe, Harrold, Malry and William Clinton along with one of Grandpa's brothers, moved to Alamogordo by driving all their cattle across the Jornada to Organ Pass and on over to Alamogordo... Robert might have already been out cowboying on his own by then...I know he said he was on a round-up when one night his Mother's horse ran through camp while all were asleep, and he knew he needed to get home... his mother was dying; Samuel might have been a brother who died very young, and there was a sister a little older than my dad who died when my dad was only about three or four; she got her dress on fire while their mother was making soap in a kettle outside on a wood fire and she died as a result of severe burns... Robert married Aunt Nettie and Harrold married Aunt Dorothy... Malry married Clora Cordellia McGinn and William Clinton married Emma.  Grandpa Roy donated the land for the Caballo Cemetery to the township of Caballo, so there might be some info to be gleaned from that...

O.K., here's the scoop...Grandpa Johnson was Roy Johnson, Grandma was Willie (Gordon) Johnson whose father was John Gordon and mother was Mallie Backus... the brother to Grandpa I mentioned earlier was a twin to Grandpa and his name was Ray Johnson; he apparently never married... so far this is all I have been able to dig up... I'm sure Dad would talk with you... they should be back from their annual summer pilgrimage to the "cooler" country about Sept.    Let us hear what you find... Malry and Millie

[John M. Gwin Note: I am grateful to Marilyn Poitras for her provision of the information found at this excellent website, portions of which I have highlighted here as pertaining to the Gordon and Johnson families presented on this page http://www.interment.net/data/us/nm/sierra/caballo/caballo.htm]

Caballo Cemetery, Sierra County, New Mexico

Lat: 32°55'27"N, Lon: 107°19'09"W

Contributed by Marilyn Poitras, Oct 24, 2001 [lavelle@zianet.com]. Total records = 51.

The little town of Caballo (it means "horse" in Spanish--pronounced KAH BAH YO) is located approximately 15 miles south of Truth or Consequences, NM, on Hwy 187.

This is still an active cemetery, but with no sexton or phone. It is a typical "western" cemetery with rocky soil, wooden crosses, and circles of stones. If you stop by the Caballo Store, they can give directions to the cemetery. [John M. Gwin Note: As highlighted in red in the e.mail above from Malry Johnson, Jr., he states that the land for this cemetery was donated to the Town of Caballo his own grandfather, Roy Johnson.]

All visible graves have been listed, but as with all old cemeteries, there are those unmarked graves. In 1938 the Caballo Dam was built, and water began to cover the homes of the early settlers. They moved their homes to the foothills on the west side of the Rio Grande.

These records show all visible burial sites in the Caballo Cemetery, which were compiled on 18 Nov 1994 by the Sierra County Genealogical Society, then published in a book. I have transcribed from this book, after being given permission by the society, so it could be published on the internet.

Other books available regarding Sierra County records may be purchased by contacting: Sierra County Genealogical Society, c/o Truth or Consequences Public Library, Truth or Consequences, NM 8790l

    Hiya John,
     
    Hadn't heard back from you yet-- I didn't scare you off did I?
     
    I looked over your page again and I think I can fill in a few blanks for you; if I overlap anything you already have forgive me.
     
    Here goes:
     
    Willie Loralee Gordon was born Mar 24, 1890 in High Rolls, Otero Co., NM and died Nov 10, 1929 in Caballo, Sierra Co., New Mexico
     
    Ray Clifford, Roy's twin brother married Willie's sister, Lola Inez Gordon, she was born 1889 and died Jul 3, 1916, in Almagordo, Otero Co., NM. Ray died Nov 11, 1918 in Carr Cannon, Otero Co., NM from Pneumonia/Infuenza. When he died his children were left orphans and lived with different Uncles on and off. Ray and Lola's children are:
     
    1.Lonnie Charles b. Nov 26, 1905 in Almagordo and died Aug 6 1940 in Grass Valley, CA
    2. Lola Vita b. Oct 9, 1908 in Sierra Co., NM and died May 23, 2000 in Otero Co., NM she married
    first Edwin Buck Sellars and second Ted Johnson.
    3. Ollie A. (middle name is probably Alfred) b. Feb 26, 1911 in Reserve, Otero Co., NM and died Dec 10, 1979 in Sierra Co., NM. I am not sure who his wife was, but he had one son that I know of Ollie M. born May 15, 1931 and died Jul 12, 2003 in Sierra Co., NM.
     
     
    Roy and Willie's children are
     
    1.Chloe b. 1907 died May 1918 in Sierra Co., NM
    2.Robert b. 1910 d. 1970 in AZ married Nettie Wilson had 3 children:
       Mary, Betty and Dorman Earl who died Feb 15, 1940 in Otero Co.,NM
    3.Harold b. Dec 13, 1918 and died Dec 7, 1993 in Otero Co., NM married Dorothy
    4. Malry
    5. William Roy Clinton b.Nov 8, 1921 in Sierra Co., NM and died Sep 22, 1992 in Otero Co., NM
    married Evelyn Emma Coleman. She was born Mar 8, 1922 in NM and died mar 23, 2007 in Otero Co., NM.
    6. Samuel Columbus b. 1925 and died Apr 6, 1931 in Caballo, Sierra Co., NM
     
    Willie Loralee and Lola Inez were daughters of John Riley Gordon and Eliza Mallory "Mallie" Backues.
    Mallie was the daughter of (hang on this might be confusing) John Keeney "Jacob" Bacues and Sarah Gibson.  John Keeney Backues was the first husband of Eliza Stone (his second wife) and she married John Washington Johnson after J.K.B. died in 1874.
     
    Now you know where Malry got his name from, he was named after his maternal grandmother.
     
    John K. Backues and Eliza Stone had three children:
     
    William Sanford b. Jul 1870 d. 1940 in NM
    Celia Elizabeth b. 1873
    John Keeney Jr. b. Aug 8, 1874 and d. Sep 7, 1935 in Chaves Co., NM
     
     
    John K. Backues and Sarah Gibson had 4 children:
     
    Eliza Mallory b. Feb 1866 and died UNK

    Hope this helps fill in some blanks.  If you want more on the Stone family let me know. I also have more on the Backues family if you want.
    Also I have seen Roy's death year given as 1948, but I haven't ever been able to find a death record for him. My mother thought she remembered visiting Roy in the summer before her sophomore year in high school which would have been abt 1957, she thought he died shortly after that, but now I think she may have been mistaken and she could be talking about Claude Robert, since he died in 1966.  Does the family have any knowledge as to Roy's death date.
     
    Let me know what else I can help you with,
