I am a 7th generation descendant of John JOHNSON who went to Kentucky shortly after it joined the Union (1792). His son, William married Mildred IDSON. William died in Gibson County, Indiana in 1842. He is probably buried in Gullick Cemetery. William JOHNSON had a son, William born about 1823 in Kentucky. He 1st married Jane ROBINSON (daughter of John ROBINSON and Highley LANSDOWNE)and 2 to Jane's sister, Harriett C. ROBINSON. I am descended from Harriet's and William's son, Perry JOHNSON. See Estate of William JOHNSON, Shuck 49-file 9 Gibson Co., Indiana in open court 14 Nov. 1843 Signed John HARGROVE

There is a biography for Major Samuel JOHNSON on http://clinton.ilgenweb.net/bios/clintbio019.htm. My condensed version says he was born in Breckenridge county, Kentucky, April 30, 1828. John JOHNSON was his grandfather who removed to Kentucky soon after it was admitted into the Union. His son, father of Major JOHNSON, remained in the state until 1831 then moved to Indiana and settled in Terre Haute. The next spring he went to Gibson County, Indiana and remained there until his death in spring of 1842. He was a millwright and a large land-owner and later in life engaged in shipping produce of the country down the river to New Orleans. He married Mildred IDSON, a native of Virginia. She died a few weeks before her husband--they had 7 sons and 2 daughters.. Check this out because it has many more details.
