Sylvanus S. Johnson, age 19, son of Stephen and Elizabeth, married Sarah Elizabeth Mullins, age 13, in Itawamba County on 19 May 1860. They had one son, Sylvanus, Jr.,born abt 1863. Sylvanus, Sr. died in the Civil War. Sylvanus, Jr. moved to TX abt 1880. Interested in learning about Junior's Texas destination.

I am curious to know if you found out anything on Sylvanus?
My great grandfather was S.S. Johnson that ended up in Rockwall Coo. TX.

You're the first person I've heard from re Sylvanus. My research shows he was in Lamar Co. in 1900 and 1910. He is enumerated at William S. Johnson in 1910. His wife was Gertrude Matthews and they had 10 children.

My gr gr grandpa S.S. Johnson does not appear to be the same person, but does appear to be from the same family. The research that myself and others Johnson researchers have come up with is that my S.S.'s father was William D. Johnson born abt.1837 in Alabama son of Stephen Edward Johnson & Elizabeth. The man that I know to be my gr gr grandpa is listed as Sylvanus b.1857 in the 1910 Rockwall,TX census. He is listed as Stephen b.1868 in the 1920 Blackland,Rockwall, Tx census. If you are interested in this line I would be glad to share with you. I am still going to persue your Sylvanus as well. I have not found him in the 1900 census yet. Thanks for your reply.

I have a copy of some of Sylvanus S. Johnson's Civil War records that I just took another look at. He died Feb 1862. I was wondering where you may have gotten the info that William Sylvanus born abt. 1863 was Sylvanus S.& Sarah Mullins son? I have been curious about this one? I look forward to working this puzzle with you.

This is the same family. William D. was the brother of Sylvanus, my gr-grandmother's first husband. Their parents were Stephen Johnson and Elizabeth Gibson

Your gr grandma was Sarah Elizabeth Mullins?

Yes, that is correct.
