- MARRIAGE: Wayne Johnsonkq4pl@kih.net ; 17 September 1997 Searching for information on the JOHNSON and MORRIS families of Green and Taylor counties. HENRY JOHNSON b 25 Dec 1809 in Green County, Kentucky d 10 May 1889 in Taylor County, Kentucky, married ELIZABETH MORRIS b 30 Mar 1809 in Madison County. Kentucky d 14 Sep 1889 in Taylor County, Kentucky, daughter of JOHN and SUSANNAH (THARP) MORRIS. HENRY and ELIZABETH JOHNSON had the following children: MAHALIA JOHNSON maried 1st WILLIAM HASH, 2nd JOHN S. WILSON. JESSE JOHNSON married 1st JANE UNDERWOOD, 2nd CYNTHIA GADDIE. WILLIAM T. JOHNSON married CAROLINE DESPAIN, and LEWIS JOHNSON married ELIZABETH SKAGGS. Any Help on these families would be deeply appreciated.
Possible Lead for Felix:
Civil War Record for Felix Warren Name: Felix Warren Pvt in the 7th Cavalry (KY/Union) Unit Mustered in: 16 Aug 1862 at Paris, Ky. Unit Mustered out: 10 Jul 1865 at Edgefield, Tn
Enlisted as a Private on 10 July 1862 in Paris, KY Enlisted in Company M, 7th Cavalry Regiment Kentucky on 10 July 1862 Transferred on 06 July 1865 Transfered in Company E, 6th Cavalry Regiment Kentucky on 06 July 1865 Mustered out on 06 September 1865 in Louisville, KY
This lineage is still not verified, although at least two other researchers have Mary Jane Underwood for the 2nd wife of Felix GrundyWarren.
Family records of our own listed Felix Grundy Warren's 2nd wife as Mary Jane Johnson.
Possible Leads: One of the sons of Abraham Holland Underwood and Mary Jane Morgan Underwood was a John Henry Underwood born August 7, 1866, in Perry County, Alabama. In Mary Lee Underwood's (his sister) journal, he wrote"going to Texas". This was dated June 6, 1888. Numerous members of this Underwood family were in the Bell County area in the late 1880s, according to Mary Lee's journal.
Hopefully, this will be a match.

My Underwood Family is from Holland, Sparks, and Little River all in Bell County and all in an area of 15-20 miles apart. My Underwood family married into the Morgan family...I would think there has to besome kind of connection...I would like to talk to you more about this..My family came to Bell co sometime between the later 1800's or early 1900's...I have a picture taken in 1902 of the Underwoods and Morgans.

Peter Underwood was in Green County in 1830 and 1840. He had children that fits Mary Jane Underwoods birth time frame. Most of his children are not listed in record thus far.
Also living nearby is Ila Johnson. It may be that Mary Jane Underwood first married a Johnson, perhaps from Ila's family, then later married Felix Grundy Warren. It would explain our family indicating Mary Jane was a Johnson and other families indicating Mary Jane was a Underwood.
