Daniel came to Iowa in 1846. On the 1856 State Census she states that she had been in the state 10 years. She states she was born in Kentucky on 1850, 1856 and 1860 censuses. Highley JOHNSON Her place in this family is from the probate record of Daniel B. Johnson where the names of heirs is listed dated 27 June 1866 in Appanoose County Iowa. Her birth date estimated from 1850 Pettis Co Missouri Census, she is age 36 and her oldest child is age 16 born in Kentucky. Estimate she married about 1833 in KY. Her birth date received 20 May 2003 from Ellen Kroll a descendant of Highley Johnson Hughes. Her e-mail. This was copied from the Bible of America Hughes Edwards, daughter of Highley. Her death estimate from the fact that in 1880 she is still alive in Peoria, Franklin ,Kansas living with son, Thomas J. Hughes. In 1830 is in Pulaski Co., KY; In 1840 is in Pettis Co., Mo; In 1850 is in Pettis Co., MO; In 1870 she is head of household in Appanoose Co., IA with Thomas J and Judith A. she is listed as "Helen". ; In 1880 is in Franklin Co., KS. Polly JOHNSON Her place in this family is from the probate record of Daniel B. Johnson where the names of heirs is listed dated 27 June 1866 in Appanoose County Iowa. Her birth date estimate from the fact that Daniel B. Johnson had 1 daughter age 15-20 and that is Highley, 2 daughters age 10-15 and Ruth is one of them. Elizabeth the next daughter is not that old yet which makes room for Polly to be in that age bracket. Until this is verified I will make this an "assumption."

JOhnson's estate in Appanoose County Iowa dated 27 June 1866. In 1850 he is age 24 on census in Appanoose Co., IA. His marriage per Ellen Krull in Tucson, AZ.

Says she had borne 7 children and 5 were living. She was born in Kentucky per this Census. One of the children that had deceased was a little girl named Delann and I suspect that the other one was her first born son, John. John doesn't show up after the 1860 Census. She signed as heir to the sale of her husband's farm on 11 June 1902. Other heirs that signed were Marion VanBuskirk, George W. Van Buskirk, Anna VanBuskirk, Daniel VanBuskirk, and Lillie VanBuskirk. The buyer was W.J. Gale. Her death date and place from Haddam Cemetery records in Haddam, Washington Co. Kansas per Mary Elliott the Haddam Town Clerk via a telephone conversation on 17 April 2000. Her birth date and place from her obituary stating she was born April 24, 1827 near Lexington, Kentucky. Unknown JOHNSON There is another daughter in the household of Daniel and Sarah Johnson in Pulaski Co., KY. She is age 5-10. Sarah is the other daughter that age. I don't know the name of this little girl. Amos B. JOHNSON Amos B Johnson is listed as an heir in the probate settlement for Daniel B. Johnson dated 27 June 1866. He is age 20 in 1850 on the census. His death date from Orleans Cemetery Records in Appanoose Co., Iowa. The transcript of the Orleans Cemetery says he died 1845, but I am sure this has to be an error of transposing the year 1854. It says "A.B. JOHNSON d. Dec 31 1845 (1854) 24y 7m 1d" I have personally seen this tombstone and it definitely says age 24y.
