JOHNSON, SHELDON -
I am looking for information on Barton JOHNSON and his son Archibald. Both reported Virginia as birthplace. Barton was born about 1781, and Archibald about 1806. They move to Ohio, and then to Eldora, Hardin County, Iowa. Archibald married Catherine Sheldon in Muskingum, Ohio, in 1831. I do not know if they were from the VA counties, or the counties which became West Virginia. Does any of this match your records?

ADAMS, TAYLOR -
I am submitting this query for a friend that is not on the internet....yet (grin) His name is Ron Adams. "The information I've got about more of the ADAMS ancestory comes from my great grandfather's family bible. I'm looking for any information connected with my great-great grandparents, here is what I have; his name was James ADAMS, born June 11, 1805, in the state of Virginia, and he died April 5, 1844, we believe in the state of Ohio. He married Rebecca TAYLOR on December 17, 1830, we believe in the state of Virginia. Rebecca (TAYLOR) ADAMS was born January 15, 1812, birth state unknown-may have been Virginia, she died December 1, 1848. We believe at the time of their deaths that both may have been living in Ohio or Indiana. Their children consisted of five sons and one daughter. Here's their information: Samuel T. born 6/15/1831; George Nelson born 7/31/1833; Hiram born 11/13/1837...my great grandfather!!!! Elanor born 3/2/1839, died 8/9/1841; Franklin born 1/20/1842; and James Clayton ADAMS born 2/2/1844, died 7/31/1844. Other information: Brother to my great-great grandfather was Robert ADAMS, born in 1799, do not have month and day, but according to census records from 1850 and 1870, this birth year is accurate. He was born in Virginia. He married Rachel (?) ADAMS in approximately 1834 or 1835. Rachel was born in 1812, in Maryland. We believe they died while living in Illinois or Indiana. They had 3 or 4 children, one son and 2 or 3 daughters." Thanks in advance Ron Adams
