Notes for William JOHNSON, SR.

WILLIAM JOHNSON, SR.

William Johnson, Sr., father of William Johnson, Jr. of the Johsonville
Ferry was born in 1760 and died March 16, 1825. He married Celia, last
name unknown, born 1756, died Sept 16, 1825. William Johnson, Sr. and
Celia are buried on a bluff on the north side of Lynches River about
three miles from Johnsonville on the Johnson Plantation. This portion of
the Johnson Plantation was later owned by William J. Johnson, Jr. who
gave four acres of land from this plantation for Trinity Methodist Church.

The tract is described in the deed as "situate and lying in Marion
District... on the Southwest side of Lynches Creek on the Stage Road
leading from Georgetown to Cheraw." Trinity Methodist Church was built
on this site. It has been remodeled and modernized but this church still
occupies its original building. The beautiful chancel furniture in the
sanctuary was made by Brigadier General John Henry Woodberry,
great-grandson of Henry Eaddy and son of Johnsonville's first woman
mayor, Rosa Belle (Eaddy) Woodberry.
