Biography

This page's purpose is to record the enslaved people owned by Thomas Franklin Johnson (1818-1896), and attempt to connect them to their families.

  • 17 1833 Female Black
  • 23 1827 Male Black

Three of Mary Spillman Johnson's adult children (including Thomas Franklin Johnson) living in the same household in 1850 are listed as slave owners, indicating that there may be family groups among the combined population. Information will be attached to their profiles. Furthermore, two daughters, Frances Johnson Cuthbert (widow of John A. Cuthbert) and Mary Johnson Smith (wife of Wilkins Cook Smith), lived on neighboring properties with their families and slaves and appear to be part of the Silver Lake Plantation.

In the 1860 census Thomas Franklin Johnson was listed as an owner of 20 enslaved persons in Jefferson, Florida, United States. Thomas and his wife were living on land she inherited.[2] Gender Age Birth Year (est)
