JOHNSON, DUNCAN 1805-1857 APPLING.

Duncan Johnson was born in North Carolina in 1805. He moved with his

parents to Appling County, Georgia, and was married there about 1830 to Miss

Lujoice Sellars, born 1806 in Effingham County, Georgia, a daughter of

Samuel and Mary Sellars, natives of North Carolina. To Duncan Johnson and

wife were born:

1. Samuel D. b. 1832, m. (1) Keziah Lee, daughter of James

(2) Rhoda Edenfield, daughter of George

W.

2. Kacilda b. 1833, m. Matthew Smith.

3. Mary Lou b. 1835, m. (1) _____ Joyce (2) James B. O'Qum

4. John Millender b. 1838,died single in 1862, in C. S. Army.

5. Sophronia b. 1840, never married.

6. Lemuel b. 1844, m. Ann Youmans, daughter of Charles.

7. James M. b. 1844, m. Isabelle Youmans.

8. Cinderella b. 1846, m. Thomas Newborn Sweat.

9. Duncan b. 1848, m. Mary Taylor. Moved to Florida

10. Ellen b. 1850, m. John F. Sweat, Jr., of Pierce Co.

11. Keziah b. 1853, m. Joseph Courson, son of Duncan.

Mr. Johnson was a prominent and influential citizen of his county in his

day, and owned a large plantation on which he lived in the 456th district.

His public career began before he was married, when he was appointed Tax

Collector in 1829 by the Inferior Court. He served two years, and again in

the same office 1845-1847. He served as representative from Appling County

1839, 1840 and 1843, and as Justice of Appling Inferior Court 1849-1851. He

served as a private in the Indian War in 1838, in Capt. N. J. Holton"s

company of Appling County militia.

Mr. Johnson died at his home in Appling County, June 27, 1857. His wife

survived and died September 28, 1867. The Johnson family today constitutes

a very large Appling County connection.

Census References: 1830, 1840, 1850, Appling; 1860, widow, Appling.

JOHNSON, DUNCAN (p. 164): His wife was buried in Pine Grove Methodist Church

Cemetery in Bacon, County, and the marker shows she died Feb. 27,1868.

However, her husband is buried in Florida but the Compiler cannot find out

just where. The dates of death as given for Duncan Johnson and wife were

taken from a biographical sketch of

their son, Lemuel, published in his latter years.

Hope this helps, Joyce
