Rob,

Hi! I just received your email. I am almost certain that your great
grandmother Abigail Johnson is the sister of my great grandfather Campbell
Johnson. My great grandfather Campbell Johnson was born March 1834 in floyd
county Kentucky. He had a older sister Elizabeth Johnson born in Virginia
and a older brother born in Virginia. Elizabeth married William Riley Mead
aug. 08, 1841 in Floyd County, Kentucky. Elizabeth and her husband and
children John & his wife mary and my great grandfather Campbell came to
Reynolds County, Mo about 1855. On June 29, 1860 Campbell married Charlotte
Hannah in Iron County.
I have reason to beleive that Ruth Trout and Edward Johnson are the parents
of my great grandfather. I had contact with a man from Illinois and in his
notes Christian Trout & Mary elizabeth Gearhart are the parents of Ruth
Trout. and in these notes was my Aunt Elizabeth Johnson and her husband
William Riley Mead and their daughter Rossanah Mead that married James K.
Polk Randolph, he also listed Ruth Trouts brothers and sisters and their
spouses. and their children but they didn't know who Ruth & Edwards children
were. I contacted Cathy Hamilton from floyd county Kentucky for a 1850 look
up on a Ruth or edward Johnson and she found Ruth Johnson the 1850 Floyd
County Census with her children.

Ruth Johnson 47 VA
Sarah 19Ky
Campbell 16 Ky
Jackson 14
Letta 12 Ky
Abigail 10 Ky
Paralee 8 Ky
William 21 Ky
Mahala 21 Ky

So I am almost certain I have found great grandfather Campbell's parents
plus his siblings.

My grandfather was named Edward Jackson Johnson. Let me know what you think
or if you find anything. My great grandfather died in Reynolds county, Mo
and is buried in Iron County, mo in the rutter Cemetery.

The Johnson's owned property on Mud Creek, which runs very
close to the Pike Co. line.

Edward married Ruth Trout on 10 Sep 1821 in , Scott County, Virginia, USA. Ruth (daughter of Christian Trout and Mary Elizabeth Gearhart) was born in 1798; died in 1843. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

CHRISTIAN TROUT
MD line, Elizabeth, W7326, BLW #35685-160-55, sol was b in 1753 at Sharpsburg MD and lived there at enlistment and after moved to BA and in 1822 he moved to Pike Co KY where he applied 6 Oct 1834 and died there 16 Jun 1847 and his wid appl 7 May 1850 in Greene Co IN aged 75 and she also appl there for BLW in 1855, soldier had m Elizabeth Geerhart 15 Sep 1795 in Rockbridge Co Va and a Joseph A. Steel and Mary Johnson were witnesses to her BLW application, in 1853 a son Lewis Trout was of Greene Co IN.

Christian Trout was born 1753 in Sharpsburg, Frederick (now Washington), MD and died June 16, 1847 in Pike County, KY. He seems to hav emoved from Washington County, Maryland sometime before 1787, at which time a "Christian Trout" first begins to appear in tax lists in Frnaklin County, VA through 1790, and then is recorded as having married Elizabeth Geerhart September 15, 1795 in Rockbridge County, VA. Christian Trout appears in a series of deeds in Tazwell County, VA in 1805, and appears in the Federal Census for that county in 1810. By 1820, he and his fmaily had moved to Scott County, VA, the ultimately moving on to Pike County, KY by 1822, where he later died on June 161, 1847. After his death, his widow Elizabeth eventually moved on to Beech Creek Township, Greene, IN, where she died sometime after August 20, 1855.

In his Revolutionary War pension application file (@.7326), Christian Trout reports that he was born and raised in Sharpsburg, Maryland and declares that in May 1778, he entered service (at age 25) in the local militia at Sharpsburg. His file reports his service as follows: May 1778, Private 6 months, Captain Joseph Chaplins' Compahny. Col. Jones' Regt.; March 1779, Private 3 months, Captain Aken's company, Col. Jones' rRegt.; October 1779, Private 6 months, Captain Christian Orendorf's Company, Col. Watson's Regt.; April 10, 1780, Private 6 months, Captain Sisox's Company, Col. Highter's Regt.

Christian Trout reports that most of his service involved either guarding British and Tory prisoners at Sharpsburg, Hagerstown, and at "The Barracks" in Frederick, MD, or in chasing Tories in Western Maryland and Northern Virginia.
The following is a transcript of his pension application dated October 6, 1834, and filed before the County Court in Pike County, KY. In accordance with the Act of June 7, 1832, he is also subjected to a standard set of questions before the open court. As was the writing style of the time, most sentences are run together, punctuation is often lacking, capitalization of words is almost entirely random, and double s's are written as fs (such as in the word "Congrefs"). The court proceedings are recorded by John D. Mims, Clerk of the Pike County Court, and as he listened to Christian's testimony, he frequently switches between the first person of the speaker and second person of the listener as he hurriedly attempts to record the rambling narrative. Quite understandably, some words appear to be missing, and some phrases seem incomplete or confused, but are here reported exactly as written. It should be recalled that Christian Trout was 81 years old at the time of the application, and he was attmepting to
