|
|
Official Scottish Tartan for
the Johnson/Johnston Family |
|
|
Name Origin: ENGLAND, Scotland |
The name Johnson originates in England.
The name literally means "Son of John". |
The name Johnson is also derived from the
Hebrew name "Johanan", meaning "Jehovah has
favored". Johnson was an extremely popular in the Middle
Ages as a result of the numerous connections between the name
John and the Christian Church. |
The name is first
found in Lincolnshire, England, where the Johnson family had been granted
lands by Duke William on his conquest of England in 1066. |
|
There are numerous Johnson families living in North Carolina,
but records indicate that the larges number of Johnsons in the
US reside in Georgia, Texas, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois
and Minnesota. |

I recently received an email from Betsy Ross-Edison, who, like
many of us, descend from Pinckney Johnson and Levina Sherrill.
[Pinckney
Johnson and
Levina Sherrill were the paternal grandparents of
Buelah Vernesta Johnson, wife of
Martin Luther Goble.] Betsy had published a historic
fiction novel (in two parts) based on the life of Pinckney
Johnson. This is what she had to say: |
|
We were in
touch earlier about our great- and great-great grandparents,
Lavinia Sherrill and Pinckney Johnson. My Dad was Evalina's
son and his first name was also Pinckney. This name got me
started on a novel. And I have at last researched and completed
a Civil War historical novel now on Amazon Books and on Kindle,
entitled: |
|
Pinckney's General, A Novel of the Civil War, Twice Told |
|
|
|
It's in two
Volumes covering the big complex battles in Virginia and
Maryland in which Pinckney fought. We can be proud of him! He
was in the thick of it and never deserted Lee when at the end
men were deserting up to 100 per day from the barren and hungry
Petersburg trenches. I tried very hard in the battles for
"historical accuracy." The book also has a story. |
|
I fell in love
with my grandmother's musical sounding and old-timey name of
Evalina. And I found different spellings for Lavinia-Levinia-Lovinia.
Thus in my novel I gave Evalina as the name of Pinckney's wife.
It's historical fiction after all. So I thought I had some
leeway! If you read it, hope you like the name! |
|
I could not
find any details of when the promotion to Corporal was made.
But I will Forward to you a Federal record stating this rank.
That might be good for your website. |
