Hi all,
First thanks Victoria for the kind words they are greatly appreciated. No
use in storing documents away it is so much better to share them. Please
don't forget my first question on dower rights if anyone has exceptional
knowledge in this time frame and area. Thanks

Okay, now on to the Johnson question. I keep getting this feeling that
Milley ROLLO w/o William could be a JOHNSON. If you visit the following url
there is a great write up on the Johnson line by Harold Johnson.

Also there appears to be a heavy influence in the naming of the Rollo
children from the Godbold line. Here is what I have from that angle and with
the Johnson name being present it is a possibility but I am also checking
now the FLOYD line that may of caused this.

DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS LINE

I know there was a well-traveled road between Marlboro and Marion City but
I feel that my Rollo's either directly or indirectly connect to the
Godbold's. Without knowing the first two son's names under John H. Rollo I
am not totally sure about Nice being a Godbold. I am thinking and I mean
only thinking that Milley may have been a Johnson. The Johnson's married
into the Godbold line.
On the Johnson/Johnston angle I found the following by a Sheran Johnson:
? ID: I461
? Name: Matthew Johnson
? Sex: M
? Death: BEF. 1782

Marriage 1 Judith Johnson
Children
1. Archer Johnson b: 27 DEC 1734 in St Peters Parish, New Kent Co, VA
2. Absalom Johnson b: 30 MAY 1737 in New Kent Co, VA
3. James Johnson b: 3 APR 1739 in New Kent Co, VA
4. Milley Johnson b: 7 MAY 1753 in New Kent Co, VA
>From what I have so far the only Godbold line that is anywhere near the
Rollo's is the Jesse Godbold & Elizabeth Evans line. I found that Gasaway
Godbold and his brother Nathan Godbold sons of Jesse & Elizabeth were in
Kershaw Co. when my Rollo's were. . The wife of Samuel Annaias Godbold is an
Elizabeth Johnson. Is there some connection to the Matthew Johnson line? Is
this the same James Johnson/Johnston?
Have a great evening
Bushy
