The Family Tree of Louise Mae (Shifflet) Johnson, bride of James Arthur Johnson

This family tree was first put into electronic format on March 26, 2001, by James Arthur Johnson, the husband of Louise Mae (Shifflet) Johnson. It is with excitement and love that he links the two trees together.

Sources:

In 2000, I had a conversation with Sylvia "Sally" Stonesifer Kiner ("Great nan Nan") at the home of President James Monroe (Ash Lawn) where she, Louise, Louise's mother and I were for the day. From the conversation, I drew the first version of Louise's family tree on a napkin, which eventualy became this webpage.

According to Ancestry.com, he was born ca. 1833, in Silver Run, in Frederick Co., MD, married Sarah Catharine Lightner on February 9, 1864, and died March 21, 1909, in Adams Co., PA. Private Amos Stonesifer served in the 165th Regiment, Company E., Pennsylvania Volunteers in the Civil War (History of the 165th Regiment) where he was part of multiple engagements from 1863-1864. He mustered into service November 6, 1862, and mustered out of company July 28, 1863. FamilySearch.org lists both Sarah Catharine Lightner and Catherine Miller as his wife, but the latter appears to be in error.
