Thomas Johnson had eight daughters and three sons. The daughters were:
Elizabeth
Martha
Amanda
Margaret
Rebecca
Mary
Sally Ann
and Eliza
Rebecca, named after her mother, died young. Elizabeth, Martha, Amanda, Mary and Sally Ann married and had families of their own. Eliza had German measles as a child. It must have been a severe case, or she ran a very high fever, as it left her mind affected. Margaret cared for Eliza and for her father until she died.
My daughter and I have a strange connectedness. When she was a baby, I would wake in the night Before she cried to be fed and. Now that she is older, it doesn't always come through, but this morning just as she, in another time zone, was having a nasty experience with a MRI doctor, I was scalding myself with a cup of hot tea. I jumped up from the couch where I had settled with the cup. Mmmmrrrrrrruuuuuaaaaahhhhh! I was too startled and too busy trying to strip off wet hot nightgown and underwear to even say one bad word. Must be a first for me. At the computer, B's first thought was that I had been spider bit. Well, there was this incident with a black widow...
