Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Research Grief
Randy Seaver of Genea-Musing has another great meme this week. Our mission this week is to: 1) The Family History Hound listed 20 Questions about your Ancestor, and I'm going to use some of them in the next few months. 2) Please answer the question - "Which ancestor gives you the most researching grief?" 3) Write your own blog post, make a comment on this post, or post your answer on Facebook or Google+. Please leave a link to your answer in comments on this post. My Answer My nemesis is Samuel Johnston, my 3x great-grandfather, who was born about 1816 in South Carolina and died before 1869 in Titus County, Texas. I do have two census records for him: 1850 and 1860 in Yalobusha County, Mississippi, where he appeared with wife, Elizabeth, and children, Isabella, Reuben, Lovina/Laura, George W(ashington), Madison J, David, and Sarah A (1860 only). [1] I also have tax records in Yalobusha County and a voter registration in Titus County,
