___________________________

*Judith(Noles)Johnson is clearly James Knowles’ aunt, having married Timothy 
Johnson in Hancock Co. in 1817. Tax records in Hancock Co. link Timothy Johnson 
to “Uncle James Gray” of Baker Co.(noted later on page 23 diary entry, July 10, 
1853). Timothy paid taxes on land that was won by James Gray in the 1827 State 
Land Lottery! James Gray had married Judia/Judith’s sister, Elizabeth Knowles, 
in Hancock Co. in 1820.
