Johnnie's birthplace is a bit of a quandry. After searching for months, no birth certificate has been found. When she was five months old, the family was living in Sunflower County, Mississippi. My father's birth certificate states that she was born "outside of Jackson". He told me that she was born along the banks of the beautiful Yazoo River. Maybe someday, a source will be found that can shed light on Johnnie's birth place.
