Notes

[johns file.FTW]

Merryman is believed to be Ann's maiden name, although conclusive proof re mains elusive. William and Ann Johns were neighbors of John Merryman of G oochland Co. and Cumberland Co. Virginia. The relationship between Ann a nd John Merryman is unknown at this time. If anyone has information on t he Merryman-Johns connection please contact Tammy Jones (TamJones@centuryt el.net) or me (Bob Newsome) at JRN2217@aol.com.

Four of Ann and William Johns' children had descendants who used the na me Merryman. I suspect that other descendants of Ann and William Johns al so used the name Merryman, but this is what has been found so far:

1. James Johns (ca 1742-1817), son of Ann and William Johns and husba nd of Mary Gannaway, had a grandson named Merryman Akers (b. ca. 1812 in R ussell Co., KY).

2. Jesse Johns (ca. 1744-1800), son of Ann and William Johns and husba nd of Sarah Sanders, had a grandson named Jesse Merryman Martin (1798-183 2) and a great-grandson named John Merryman Swinney (b. 1837 Campbell Co ., VA).

3. Thomas Johns (ca. 1752-1794), son of Ann and William Johns and husba nd of Garterhood Glover, had a daughter named Mary Merriman Johns (ca. 17 89-1844).

4. Elizabeth Johns (1757-1837), daughter of Ann and William Johns and wi fe of Thomas Jones of Campbell Co. VA, had a son named John Merryman Jon es (ca. 1785-ca. 1825).
