Some have interpreted his wife being named as Elizabeth in the 1850-1860 census, and then Betty, with a one-year age difference, as being a different wife in 1870,[5] but we have no marriage records for either. FindAGrave shows that he married Elizabeth Betsy (Lee) Johnson in 1833, but does not provide a source.[1] Also, at least one of Elizabeth's children has a death record, John Quincy Johnson (1841-Feb 1915),[6] in which his mother's maiden name is shown as Betsy Lee. The same is true for Allen Johnson and Betsy Lee's son (shown as Elizabeth in census records through 1860): Henry M Johnson died on 11 Jan 1921 in Howe Cemetery, Ballston Lake, Saratoga, New York, United States.[7] In summary, there is no evidence that Allen had more than one wife.
He died 6 Dec 1871 (though the stone is very difficult to read for both the birth and death year) in Johnston, North Carolina, United States. BURIAL: Lee and Johnson Restorium, Meadow Township, Johnston County, North Carolina.[1] Allen Johnson's estate passed probate in 1875 in Johnston, North Carolina, United States.[8]
Research Notes
Zero records indicate that he was a Jr or II. His forename was Allen: no records show that he ever used Mark as a middle name. The FindAGrave is the only "source" that shows a middle name: even on his tombstone that is pictured on FindAGrave, his name appears as Allen Johnson. No middle name.
