I started following the line of Mary's father,
William Johnson and found it fascinating. You may know
all this already, but I found him again in 1880 as a
single man (probably widowed) with several small
children (also attaching this image). He probably
married Tomacita within the year of that census. Men
back then had to do something quickly to keep their
families together. Some people like to throw stones at
men who would lose their wife and then hop right to a
new wife. They had to have someone to help raise the
kids while they were scratching out a living. With
William, that appears to be just what he did, scratch
out a living. He was a gold miner. I tracked him back
another 10 years and he was still in New Mexico and
living in a boarding house with no apparent family
ties. He was listed a William S.F. Johnson at that
time. I then lucked out and found a Civil War Pension
record of William S. Johnson and his wife was listed
as something like Lomacita. I'm relatively sure that
this is supposed to be Tomacita. He was down as having
served in a California Cavalry unit. I then went to
Calif. in 1860, Eureka, Nevada Co. and found a lone
gold miner name William S. Johnson, thence back to the
middle fork of the American River in Eldorado Co.,
Calif. in 1850 to find a William S.Johnson. His age
was the same in all except the 1850 listed him as 20,
only a slight deviation.
this is a work in progress....but thought i would send
what details i have so far thanks Michele
