Casual geneologist trying to go back further from Barnett Devlin Johnson 1821 SC -1886 GA in

Question

I have attached some older ancestors to my tree but do not have proof of them.

Answer 1

Welcome to WikiTree S.

I did not find Barnett Johnson here yet. You can Search for people using the Find menu and scrolling down to Search - then follow the directions.

The best way to get started here so we can help you is for you to start adding your ancestors. First add your parents with as much information as you have. Then add your grandparents and so on.

Since, as you know I am sure, Johnson is a very common surname - you should add siblings, aunts, uncles, and spouses to narrow the search. Locations are very important as are birth and death years.

Good luck in your search, come back here for help any time. Do not get frustrated! Someone will answer your questions and help you learn WikiTree. Someone will show you where to find sources.

Answer 2

He has a profile on familysearch.org with some information on his ancestry and some sources (which you will want to review and to verify):
