Descendants of William Johnson

Submitted by Jean Brand

Generation No. 1

1. WILLIAM1 JOHNSON was born 1767 in England, and died in VA.. He married NANCY HILTON SCARR 1790 in VA..

Notes for WILLIAM JOHNSON:

The name Johnson "Johnston" is common in all parts of the British Isles. Family tradition says that our family was Scotch-Irish, and indeed the names of the children of George W. Johnson, born 1793, would indicate Scottish origins. One son was named Calvin, co doubt after John Calvin, from whose teachings the Scotch Presbyterian religion is derived. Another son was named Campbell Johnson, and Campell is a distinctly Scottish name.

There is a persistent tradition in the Johnson "Johnston" family, which has been heard from aunts and uncles at verious generations. It goes something like this:

"A Johnson ancestor lost his family in a war, possibly the Revolution. He was a young boy at the time and lived a foster home. He took his foster parents name, which was Johnson."

As the records show, the first known residence of our Johnson family was in Washington Co., VA. In 1832 the new county of Smyth was formed, partly from Washington County. The Johnson home was located in the part of Washington County which became Smyth. By 1850 George W. Johnson had moved on down to Scott County, VA.

"William John Albert, who changed surname from Albert to Johnson, pressed into the English army, age 15, on arrival in America, deserted the English army and joined the American cause, was of PA, and Rockingham Co., VA md Nancy (prob. Hilton) Scarr, widow of James Scarr)," [Virkus, The Compendium of American Genealogy, Vol 4 (1930), pg 784; ancestor of Lois Johnston].

You will note the spelling of Johnson changes to Johnston with different persons. My g-g-gm Elizabeth Ann Johnston ( the spelling was taken from her marriage cert.), others spelling were taken from other legal documents.

Two of George and Sally "Davis" Johnson's children married James and Jane "Williams" Barnett, Jr's children. Later you will see that Elizabeth Ann "Johnston" Barnett's husband , John W. Barnett married his sister amd Elizabeth's brother,( Francis Marion and Malinda " Barnett" Johnson's) daughter, Celia. It does get interesting.

Notes for ELIZABETH ANN JOHNSTON:

I have a picture of Elizabeth Johnston Barnett, very beautiful lady. How did she copy with the hardships living in the country?

Sarha Jane [Barnett] Malicoat was married to a very hot tempered, woman chasing man. Records show proof Fanteroy was married to three women at the same time, no divorce ever found. Fanteroy lived a very hard life. Dorothy [Beddo] Welch said to me Oct.,1995, while we were visiting our ancestors graves," I sure would like to dig up our grandpa and beat the devil out of him for what he did to our grandma". Dorothy is the daughter of Dollie [Malicoat] Beddo.

Fanteroy is buried next to Sarah Jane at Clabber Flats cem, near Pauls Valley, OK.

Fanteroy had to put up a $100.00 bond to marry Sarah Jane. I have copies of all legal papers.

Fanteroy M. and his sister, Phoebe married brother and sisters, Eli Wallace and Sarah Jane Barnett. A great-grand daughter, Zina [Barnett] Harris is still living in Moore, OK., age 89. I met with her in June,1995 and she gave me a copy of her father's bible, naming more family. Eli Wallace and Phoebe [Malicoat Barnett are her grandparents, and are buried in Elmoore City, OK. a few miles from Pauls Valley.

Fanteroy and Sarah Jane had a son, Mat, his decendants don't lay claim to any Malicoat unless the name is spelt MALICOAT. But through years of research I found the spelling changed within the siblings and all are related.

""16th April, 1852

In conformity with the licence presented to me, I celebrated the rites of Matrimony between John Barnett and Elizabeth Johnston according to the form and custom of the Baptist Church.

"My Uncle John Barnett (Bud's father) was, I learned, much afraid of snakes. My father used to laugh about it and the fun he ( my dad) had out of that, even after Uncle John Barnett, had moved to OK. In one instance, Dad was plowing, killed a huge blacksnake ( non-poisonus, of course) and laid it across a path along which he expected John to come. The latter did come, stepped close to the snake before he saw it, letting out a yell. When he came down he grabbed a handful of stones and peppered the snake until he finally discovered it was already dead. When Uncle John went over to where Dad ( trying hard not appear not to notice what had happened, Uncle John said, " You think you're __________ smart, don't you!" That incident probably happened in KY.

When Uncle John and Aunt Celia left with their family for OK., our family moved to the farm where they had lived, on the head of Brushy Creek ( tributary of Beaver Creek) in Taney Co., just over the "Divide" a few miles to the south of where Wilbert and family live on Caney Crrek. And when Dad would happen to see a bob-tailed fence lizard he'd say, " There's one of Barnett's lizards." and laugh. He meant to imply that Uncle John stoned ever lizard, that he had knocked off the lizard's tail." per Claude Johnson.

Notes for SARAH JANE BARNETT:

Notes:

Sarah Jane sure had a hard life being married to Fanteroy. He would take off and marry another woman, never bothering with divorce. Maybe he chased around because he was younger than Sarah Jane, or was he just a great lover? Sarah Jane was with child,(Frank, died very young) when Fanteroy took off and married wife # 2 woman.

Sarah held a great love for Kentucky, she instill her love for the Blue Grass state in her children. Oh how she hated to leave Kentucky . She had 2 small children and another one on the way ( Sarah Elizabeth) ,as she made her way across the country to join her husband in Texas. Fant had shot a man for slapping Sarah Jane, the sheriff gave him the choice of leaving the county, never to return or going to jail. Fant left his wife and children in the care of his father-inlaw, sister and brother-in-law, ( Eli Wallace & Phoebe (Malicoat) Barnett. The man was a known trouble maker.

Oct., 1995, Sara L. (Davis) Allen and I were driving through the hills of Kentucky, talking about our Granny ( Sarah Elizabeth (Malicoat) Davis), about the love Sarah Jane had for Kentucky, remembering Granny saying she always wanted to see the Blue Grass of Kentucky, when I looked up to heaven and said," Granny look through my eyes and see the beauty of the Blue Grass of Kentucky".

From all the years of research I have done, I feel I have the right to state how I see Fanteroy M. Malicoat, my great grandfather.

Notes for FANTEROY M. MALICOAT:

Notes:

Chickasaw Nation Census 1900 lists Sarah Jane Malicoat as Head of House with 6 children. (one being my grandmother, Sarah E.) Name is under spelling Malicot and family number 205-182, copied from Pauls Valley library, Pauls Valley, OK.

1910 census lists Frank Malicoat as head of house, age 55, no wife.

Fantory was a playboy, he was still married to Sarah Jane [she was carring Frank in her womb] when Fanteroy ran off and started living with a "Old Lady Blue". When this lady became pregnant and Fanteroy ran from her, she took the life of her unborn child and her own. After her death, Fanteroy returned the Garvin County area and took another wife, Elizabeth George and started yet another family. Records show proof on the same 11-13-1900, Fanteroy took yet another wife, Millie Beard in Maxwell, Indian Territory. No divorce has ever been found for Fanteroy.

I found Fanteroy M. Malicoat and Elizabeth George's son Luther Malicoat and his son, Travis Malicoat living in Yosemite Springs, Oakhurst, Mardera Co., CA. 7-1996.

Three of Fanteroy and Sarah Jane [Barnett] Malicoat's daughters married the three sons of James Robert Finley and Millie[Blackwell] Davis in Indian Terrority.

Deer fed in those canebrakes at times. Settlers had vension. One story had it that a settler shot a deer on one of the brakes and a cougar beat him to it.
