The following Johnson graves are not in a marked plot, but are all together on 3rd and 4th rows:

Stafford, Joanna Johnson

14 Mar 1882

14 Mar 1920

wife of W D Stafford

Johnson, Martha K Kates

5 Jan 1850

11 July 1924

wife of G L Johnson; "She was a kind and affectionate wife, a fond mother and a friend to all."

Note: Clarification of the name "Kates" was provided 24 July 2005 by Linda Foster:  "Her maiden name was Stafford.  She was the daughter of Robert and Mary Stafford.  All we can figure is the name "Kates" was a nickname, not her last name.  This is confusing.  She is buried next to her daughter Joanna.  General L.(Lafayette) Johnson was the son of Thomas Johnson/Johnston, Jr. and Barthenia Lindsey Johnson."
