JOHNSON, JORDAN
I am looking for any relationships or information on the Johnson families of Bradley Co. My Great Grandfather, Charlie Johnson and his mother Ellen Branchcomb, were moved out to I.T. in late 1800’s. It has been repeated from different sources that Charlie and Ellen were Cherokee and Charlie’s father was forced off of land owned in Charleston. When they left, one son was too sick to make the Trail, so he was left behind with the Sims family. Charlie later married Lizzie Kitchen also from Tennessee, and remained in Oklahoma till she died. Charlie had 11 children, one of which is my grandmother Nellie Claire Johnson who spoke Cherokee. I have not been able to find any information on the families other then verbal. Rumor has it that they are related to STARR family as well. Any information that may be given would be greatly appr.

We are pleased to let all those who have contributed to the Worsham – Washam Family History know that the manuscript is now complete. We still have many unlinked families, however, it is time to share our findings and collections with others. The book will cover the time span of about 1640 to about 1900 with some families going forward to more recent years. Rooted in England, the limbs of this immigrant family tree spread across much of the American continent. Many families are covered who settled in Tennessee and those who passed through on their way West.
