General Notes

BIO: Per Wilma PARKER JOHNSON, Rev. John Franklin YOUNG and his wife
left SC for KY about 1818. Their three daughters, Bartheny, Phoebe
and Susannah each married one of the JOHNSON brothers.
Mrs. JOHNSON writes "William and Bartheny's family claims he was
in the War of 1812--a KY battalion, but they had children in SC during
the time, so maybe it was a SC militia. No marriages for these three
females have been found in KY. They may have been married by Rev.
YOUNG...so maybe not recorded in the courthouse".
On the 1850 census, there is a 63 year old Bartheny JOHNSON, b.
NC, living in the home of Allen HICKS and Phoebe. Wilma says this is
Phoebe (YOUNG) JOHNSON WYATT HICKS and her sister, Bartheny. Compiler
questions the relationship since Bartheny is listed as 32 years older
than the 31 year old Phoebe. Both women are recorded as being born in
NC (not SC), however, could Phoebe be Bartheny's daughter?? Children
in the home have surnames of JOHNSON and WYATT --both are reported to
have been earlier marriage names of Phoebe YOUNG.
In 1860, there is a "Themy" JOHNSON in the home of Hiram JOHNSON
and wife, Martha (SNICKS). Again, Bartheny is reportedly born in NC
and her age is given as 71. Compiler has calculated approximate dates
for Bartheny's birth, marriage and death based on evidence found thus
far.
