John Henry Johnson   Born: 12 Apr 1865 Died:  09 Jun 1889     John Henry Johnson was born on 12 Apr 1865 to Pinkney C. Johnson and Lavina C. Sherrill.  Henry's father, Pinkney, died as a result of injuries sustained in the Civil War.  Henry was born 9 days after his father's death.                                 According to the 1870 Census, Henry was 6-years-old and living with his mother in Iredell County.     1870 Iredell County Census   Last Name First Name Age Sex Race Occupation Birth Place Johnson Viney 36 F W Keeping House NC ------- Julia 7 F W     ------- Henry 6 M W     ------- Vickie E. 1 F W         The 1880 Iredell County Census lists Henry's age as 15.  This Census lists Henry's name as John H. and also tells us that he was crippled, which we know to be true.   Several of Levina's (Viney or L. C.) daughters have moved back home with her.  M. G. Johnson is Margaret G. Johnson.  M. L. E. Johnson is Louisa Eveline Johnson.  In 1870, at the age of 11, Eleline was living with J. A. and Hannah Watts.  Levina's daughter Julia is also still living at home.    1880 Iredell County Census   Last Name First Name Race Sex Age If born Census Year, give  Month Relation Single Widow Occupation Maimed, Crippled, bedridden School Johnson L.

Son                 Vickie/Victoria is still living with the family.  In the 1870 Census she was listed as White.  This 1880 Census lists her race as Mulatto.  There is still no clue who her father was, and was Lavina really her "mother" or her "grandmother"?   Viney had 4 grandchildren living at the family home, too.  They were Joseph, Nora, G.H. and William F.  All four were listed as Johnsons, but there was no indication as to who their mother was.                                                                  John Henry Johnson married Nancy Caroline Leslie on 03 Sep 1885 in Iredell County.  Nancy was 7-years older than Henry.  (Left) Nancy Caroline Leslie Henry had been a cripple from childhood and used a wooden leg. He was a lumber jack and when he was 24 years old, a tree fell on him and killed him.  His death date is  09 Jun 1889.

John Henry Johnson and Nancy Caroline Leslie Johnson are both buried at New Sterling ARP Church Cemetery in Iredell County. Henry’s grave stone says “Son of L. C. Johnson”.
