!NOTE: 08-Jun-1880 Rock Creek, Wilkes, NC1039,1048 census gives indication of possible family for Jesse Franklin Johnson. 6 Johnson families live adjacent to each other: Smith Johnson (born abt 1817) and his wife Sarah M.; Joseph Johnson (born abt 1840) and his wife Dianah; Jesse F. Johnson (born about 1822) and his 2nd wife Emeline; Jesse F. Johnson’s son John L. Johnson (born about 1853) and his wife Mary; Joseph L. Johnson (born abt 1851) and his wife Mary J.; and Z. F. Johnson (born about 1852) and his wife Sarah J. My speculation is that Smith Johnson and Jesse F. Johnson might be brothers and this speculation is reinforced in OneWorldTree71 which shows a Smith Johnson as a brother to Jesse Franklin Johnson.
