Benjamin Polk Johnson is my great-great grandfather. All I know about him is that he was born in the Louisville, KY area. He married a woman named Susan Howard. Of the several children they had I only know of my great-grandfather, William Asa Johnson. A few years after Susan's death he married a woman named Kaitman Row (Rowe)All the children born to Ben and Susan were born in the Louisville, KY are. Asa married a woman named Lucy Tarter and from this union came my grandmother, Una Bethel Johnson. She was the oldest of several children, born Nov 7, 1891. I only know of Grandma's sisters as Lottie, Colleen and her brother Pard. Sometime in the late 1800s or very early 1900s Asa moved to the Tulare/Fresno County area of California and, according to my mom, became known as Potato King Johnson. This is all the information I have. I have not been able to find any real information on the Johnson's of Kentucky. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
