It is like putting a jigsaw puzzle together and finding someone dumped foreign pieces into the box. If anyone would like to comment, theorize or even argue about ANY of this, please let me know. I hope that any bit of information given could help us set history right! CONT I am descended from John Barlow Jr. (Pocahontas County Virginia) and Emily E. Johnson (Pocahontas County Virginia, Gallia County Ohio). CONT FACT - Emily & John left Virginia for Missouri. John died in Missouri and Emily brought her children back east, settling in Walnut Township, Gallia County Ohio. Emily is buried in Old Walnut Cemetery and I have visited her grave. My problem is Emily's family: CONT CONT KNOWN Emily E. Johnson married John Barlow Jr. 13 January 1842 in Pocahontas County, Virginia. CONT CONT KNOWN Emily named a son William EWING Barlow (born 5-6-1847) CONT CONT KNOWN Emily was the daughter of Sarah and her father was a Johnson. CONT CONT MOST LIKELY James Johnson, son of John and _____ (Ewing) Johnson married three times [James Johnson]. CONT His first marriage was 1795. He [James Johnson] was probably born 1770-1775 and he died prior to 10-24-1818 because (FACT) his son William's marriage bond was signed by William's stepmother Sarah. CONT CONT KNOWN James Johnson married Sarah Beatty 12-31-1812 CONT CONT KNOWN Bachelor William "Uncle Billy" Ewing married "the widow next door," Sarah Johnson about 1821. CONT CONT KNOWN William Ewing died 6-3-1858. His widow was 78 at the time of his death. CONT CONT KNOWN Sarah Beatty Johnson Ewing is buried BESIDE her husband William Ewing in Duffield Cemetery, Pocahontas County (West) Virginia (From 1936 Cemetery Survey) CONT CONT BIG TIME MIX UP Sarah Beatty Johnson was suppose to move to Jackson County Ohio and died there. OUR Sarah Johnson married William Ewing and remained in (West) Virginia even after death! CONT CONT UNKNOWN How many times was this woman married and what is her maiden name? CONT CONT KNOWN James Beatty married Sally Burnsides 4 May 1797 in Bath county Virginia (Sally = Sarah) CONT CONT QUESTIONING Research has pushed the above marriage to follow Burnside / Beatty / Johnson without Ewing as Emily E. (Johnson) Barlow's family. THIS CANNOT BE. CONT CONT THEORY There are two families with similar names being mixed up. CONT 1. Emily Barlow was a Johnson CONT 2. Her mother did marry a Ewing CONT 3. If Sarah Johnson was living in Jackson County Ohio at the time Emily returned from Missouri with several small children, then why did Emily not go to be near her mother, instead lived with a family with whom she was not related? CONT CONT Let's put our heads together and think this through. The JACKSON COUNTY OHIO is just not working. CONT CONT Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

CONT John Sharp, son of Wm. Sharp Jr and grandson of Wm. Sharp Sr., married Sarah Johnson on 6-3-1845. Sarah was the daughter of William Johnson (B 1799) who married Mary Lamb in 1818. Sarah also had a sister Susan who married Marcus Waugh. Later Marcus and Susan's daughter Mary Jane married her 1st cousin Hugh Hanson Sharp son of John and Sarah Sharp. William Johnson was the son of James Johnson & Elizabeth Hughes who married in 1795. James Johnson was the son of Pocahontas Pioneer, John Johnson (1734-1826) whose wife was thought to be a daughter of yet another famed Pocahontas Pioneer James Ewing. Ewing decendants & their allied families migrated from Pocahontas Co. in the early 1800's to Gallia Co. Ohio, where decendants are credited with establishing the towns of Vinton and Ewington. James Johnson's Ewing wife died relatively young, leaving him with seven children. James employed Elizabeth Auldridge as a governess to care for his children and later they were married. Elizabeth was a widow who came to America with her 10 yr. old son, William Tilson Auldridge, with John Johnson having advertised and paid for their passage. Most Auldridges in Pocahontas Co. can trace their ancestry to William T. Auldridge. Elizabeth lived to be 114 yrs. old and was buried in an old cemetry on Jerico Road (believed to be where the old rock quarry is located). CONT John Sharp and Sarah Johnson built a log home on the old estate of Wm. Sharp Jr. but later bought land on Jerico Road from the William Ewing II estate, a son of "Indian John" Ewing who died without children.

CONT John Sharp, son of Wm. Sharp Jr and grandson of Wm. Sharp Sr., married Sarah Johnson on 6-3-1845. Sarah was the daughter of William Johnson (B 1799) who married Mary Lamb in 1818. Sarah also had a sister Susan who married Marcus Waugh. Later Marcus and Susan's daughter Mary Jane married her 1st cousin Hugh Hanson Sharp son of John and Sarah Sharp. William Johnson was the son of James Johnson & Elizabeth Hughes who married in 1795. James Johnson was the son of Pocahontas Pioneer, John Johnson (1734-1826) whose wife was thought to be a daughter of yet another famed Pocahontas Pioneer James Ewing. Ewing decendants & their allied families migrated from Pocahontas Co. in the early 1800's to Gallia Co. Ohio, where decendants are credited with establishing the towns of Vinton and Ewington. James Johnson's Ewing wife died relatively young, leaving him with seven children. James employed Elizabeth Auldridge as a governess to care for his children and later they were married. Elizabeth was a widow who came to America with her 10 yr. old son, William Tilson Auldridge, with John Johnson having advertised and paid for their passage. Most Auldridges in Pocahontas Co. can trace their ancestry to William T. Auldridge. Elizabeth lived to be 114 yrs. old and was buried in an old cemetry on Jerico Road (believed to be where the old rock quarry is located). CONT John Sharp and Sarah Johnson built a log home on the old estate of Wm. Sharp Jr. but later bought land on Jerico Road from the William Ewing II estate, a son of "Indian John" Ewing who died without children.

• Source: S2505 Abbreviation: Book - History of Pocahontas County, by Dr. Ward Sharp Title: History of Pocahontas County, by Dr. Ward Sharp Text: [Use with caution: see note below, in comments, challenging some of this] CONT Material written by Dr. Ward Sharp, a descendant of John Johnston: The History of Pocahontas County, p 329. CONT THE JOHN JOHNSTON (JOHNSON) FAMILY CONT John Johnston's parents emigrated from New Jersey and settled at Beverly Manor, in the colony of Virginia, in about 1740. CONT Present day Staunton, Virginia is centrally situated in what was formerly the Beverly Manor land grant. CONT The Governor of Virginia approved an expedition to attack French and Indians at Fort Pitt. On March 8, 1754, Capt. Andrew Lewis and John Johnston enlisted in the Virginia CONT militia at Staunton. They proceeded with other Augusta Militia to Wills Creek (Fort Cumberland). There they joined the main body of Colonial troops. These troops CONT proceeded to Great Meadows, Fort Necessity, east of present Uniontown, Pa. There they were engaged in battle with a large body of French and Indians on July 3, 1754. CONT The Virginia Militia, having suffered defeat, were allowed to return home (See Muster Roll before Battle of Meadows July 3, 1754). Neither Andrew Lewis or John Johnston CONT were attached to Braddock's ill-fated expedition in 1755. Instead, they were thought to be engaged in fortifying the frontier against pending Indian attacks. CONT Treaty with the Indians following the French and Indian War in 1758 prohibited land acquisition west of the Allegheny Range. The territory remained offbounds to white CONT settlement until the treaty with the Indians at Fort Stanwix in 1768. Treaty of 1768 opened up the territory and John Johnston was among the influx of pioneer settlers. CONT He either acquired land, or applied for patents, prior to 1776. A quote from the Pocahontas Times -- date unknown -- stated that John Johnston acquired 1500 acres in the CONT Jerico Community near Marlinton. I did not locate this patent but I did locate one for a parcel of 160 acres issued in 1776 to John Johnston. This patent stated the land was CONT acquired from within the 100,000 acre land grant issued to the Greenbrier Company. This 1776 parcel appeared to be not in Jerico but in the Swago community. CONT A group of these earliest pioneers formed a community in present Swago, Buckeye, Millpoint and Little Levels Communities following 1768. Indian dissatisfaction with the CONT 1768 treaty caused hostilities to flare. These pioneers deteced impending dangers. They decided to build a fort and remain to defend it. CONT This fort, known as Fort Keckley or Cackley, was completed in 1772 (Kercheval). It was the first of four forts built in the upper Greenbrier of present Pocahontas Co. It was CONT built and manned by the local settlers. Clover Lick Fort and Warwick Forts were -- for example -- built by the Virginia Militia. John Johnston -- being an expert woodworker, CONT joint fitter, etc., of heavy timbers, played an important role in the construction of Fort Cackley. He served it also as an Indian spy or scout. CONT John Johnston, like many of the pioneer men, did not marry until into their 30s or early 40s. Ages of his oldest children suggest he married in the 1770s. His first wife, CONT believed to have been a Ewing, died when relatively young, leaving him with 7 children. He employed Elizabeth Auldridge as a governess to care for his children CONT (Genealogy: The Auldridge Family). He and Elizabeth were later married. CONT John Johnston's children, according to Bath County marriage bonds, were James, Michael, Thomas and daughters Catherine, Polly and Elizabeth. A daughter Sallie did not CONT appear among the marriage bonds. Marriage bonds of his children reveal that they all adopted the name spelled Johnson, while Father doggedly adhered to the traditional CONT spelling of Johnston. Therefore, beginning with the children of John Johnston, the surname was spelled Johnson, thus compounding the problem in tracing the genealogy of CONT this pioneer. CONT Birth dates for John Johnston's children were not determined but marriage dates were based on Bath County marriage bonds. James, the oldest son, was married three CONT times as follows: to Elizabeth Hughes in 1795, to Elizabeth Poage in 1804, to Sarah Batey in 1812. (note, I am not sure about Elizabeth Poage) A son, William, was born in CONT 1799 to James and Elizabeth H. Johnson. This William Johnson was of importance, as will be seen later, as the major progenitor of the family named Johnson in CONT Pocahontas County. CONT John Johnston's son Michael married Hannah Hughes in 1805 and Thomas married Rebecca Burr in 1813. Both Michael and Thomas dropped out of sight, suggesting they CONT possibly emigrated. Catherine "Katie" married Aaron Moore son of pioneer Moses Moore on 1/18/09. John Johnston was present to consent for the marriage of his daughter CONT "Katie". A John Johnson was also present as a witness, perhaps another son that emigrated. Elizabeth and Polly Johnson were both married on 5/12/1812 to Jacob Waugh CONT and William Gay, respectively. CONT William Johnson, son of James Johnson, and grandson of the pioneer John Johnston, married Mary Lamb 10/18/1818. William and Mary Lamb Johnson's children were CONT cited from census records according to year of birth as follows: Jane (1825), Sarah (1827), Susan (1830), William Ewing (1833) and James Elliott Johnson in 1837. These CONT birth dates are approximate, give or take a year. Marriages of the above were based on marriage bonds: Jane married Milton Sharp 9/14/1854, Sarah married John Sharp CONT (of Verdant Valley-Fairview) 6/3/1845, Susan married Marcus Waugh 8/29/1850; William Ewing married twice -- first wife Elizabeth Wilson of Upshur Co., W. Va.; second CONT time to Eliza McCoy 11/13/1879; James Elliott Johnson married Sally Friel 6/24/1857. CONT John Johnston grew up in an unspoiled, pristeen environment. He was an expert hunter and woodsman. His father and grandfather plied the woodworkers trade which was CONT a major occupation at the time, outside of farming for a livelihood. John had ready use of woodworking tools. He became a shaper of bows and arrows under the tutilage of CONT his father and grandparents. CONT The bow and arrow provided meat of small game for the table at a time when gunpowder was scarce and expensive. It was handed down through is daughter Catherine that CONT her father was an expert bowman. The family would have gone hungry at times, when small game was for the taking, had it not been for the bow and arrow at the hands of CONT the father and his sons. CONT The homestead of this pioneer was situated in the vicinity of the former Porter Kellison residence west of Marlinton over Price Hill in the Swago Community. His grave, CONT according to my grandmother, Malinda Moore Cochran, was in the vicinity of his homestead. John Johnston was born circa 1734 and died circa 1826, at age 92. CONT The compiler of the John Johnston famliy history is a great-great-grandson of the pioneer. His great-grandmother was Catherine "Katie" Johnston Moore. Catherine's CONT daughter Melinda married William Cochran of Stony Creek. They had two children; William Cochran Jr. who moved to Sunbury, Ohio and a daughter Catherine Cochran CONT who married my father Giles Sharp of the Fairview Community. CONT By Dr. Ward M. Sharp.

For instance, the death date for Elizabeth Johnson, wife of John Johnson, is 1848, not 1748. I have a rubbing of the actual headstone. Also, someone obviously used Dr. Ward Sharp's account CONT of John Johnson in the History of Pocahontas County. Most serious researchers have found that his account is completely unreliable. For instance, you have Michael as a son, yet this proved to be totally incorrect. Also, there is absolutely no proof that his first wife was a Ewing. This was pure speculation on his part. There CONT was just as compelling evidence that she might have been Elinor Wilson of Botetourt County. Jacob Waugh's death cannot be accurately stated (so far as my research can determine) as any more clearly than after the birth of his last child John (1823) & before the death of his father-in-law John Johnson (1826). I could go on if you are CONT interested. I am a direct descendant of Jacob and Elizabeth Waugh (m. 1812) through their daughter Sarah and have put in over 20 years of hard work on this line.
