Nancy or Lera Johnson 
General Notes
(Research):NOTE: My great-aunt Glenna SKAGGS said that George Henry UNDERWOOD's mother was Lera JOHNSON. I have not been able to find any source that will confirm this. George Henry's birth record says differently: SOURCE: Larue County, Kentucky - Vital Records - Item 3, Births, FHL Film # 216830
Birth: 31 Aug, Geo H. UNDERWOOD (male) born alive in LaRue County; Parents: Willis UNDERWOOD & Nancy JOHNSON.
NOTE: 1855 - There wasn't a year on every page and it looked like it should've been 1855, but many other sources point to 1853.
