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.

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.
