The 1850 Census for Rockingham County shows:

Lucy JOHNSON	age 50 		Born in Rockingham County, VA
  Richard	age 18
  Benjamin	age 14
  Joseph	age 9
  St. Clair	age 3

This census information leads me to believe that James and Lucy JOHNSON are Lucy DESHLER's parents. I can find no birth, death, or marriage information for the JOHNSON's. Apparently, Lucy DESHLER's name does not appear with the JOHNSON's on the 1850 census because she was married to John in 1848.

Any definitive information you might be able to share such as birth/death dates or places regarding John DESHLER or Lucy JOHNSON, would be greatly appreciated!!! I will in turn share any information I may have.

Please e-mail me if you have any information. Thank you.
