Willie Lora Gordon (b. 24 Mar 1890 in High Rolls, NM; d. ca. 1930 [when Malry, Sr. was ca. 9 or 10]; prob. bd. in Alamogordo, NM); 6 ch.

Dad's mom was Willie Gordon and was married to Roy Johnson... They had 4 sons that lived to adulthood, Robert, Harold, Malry and Clinton. I don't recall William and Samuel although they could have been some of the kids that died younger. The only daughter that I have ever heard mentioned was Chloe who died in a house fire when she was only a young girl... 11 or 12, I think. Grandma Johnson died when dad was only about 9 or10, so that would have been just about 1930??
By 1920 they were living in Caballo, New Mexico, because Dad was born there, and he was born in 1920.
Dad and Gerry are gone for the summer, and getting him to sit down and discuss his family is like pulling his teeth. *laughs* He keeps telling me to stop finding more of his relatives. *shrugs* Perhaps we could all corral him when he gets home and bombard him with questions. I'll also mention to Gerry that maybe she could get Dad to tell her his tree and she could write it down for us... she would do that, and Dad would be more apt to talk to her, I think....

I do know that Roy had a twin brother, Ray. And Ray was married to Willie's sister, but I can't remember her name right off the top of my head. Dad's grandma Gordon pretty much raised him and the other boys.. Robert was married, I think, when his mom died, but Harold, Dad and Clinton were still young and at home. Robert died in 1970 in Flagstaff, Arizona, and is buried in Winslow. He had 2 daughters, Mary and Betty. I think Mary lives in Deming and I think her last name is Raley... Malene would know that because she used to work with Malene. Betty died several years ago. If you could find Mary you would have a plethora of information, I think..

169/169	John Martin	55	m	Mail Carrier	GA	1795	This is probably the father of Leanner, Nancy, and Margaret. He is likely a widower and clearly a neighbor of Frances and Elizabeth Johnson.
	Margaret Martin	12	f		LA	1838
	James Johnson	28	m	farmer	AR	1822	This is probably a son-in-law of John Martin, above. James may also be related to our Frances, below--likely his younger brother. (A James Johnson and wife Nancy are next door to Frances in 1860 as well, this time in Texas, lending great credence to the younger-brother theory.)
	Nancy Johnson	19	f		TX	1831

	Leanner Evans	21	f		AR	1829

	Nancy Johnson	30	[1830]	f				[blank]
	James Johnson, Sr.	86	[1774]	m				VA		This is the obviously the father of the above James; however, since they're right next door to each other with the same size/value of farms, I highly suspect that James, Sr., is the father of Frances as well. If he is, we can trace the families' migration route from Virginia to Illinois to Arkansas to Texas.
134/134	Frances Johnson	48	[1812]	m	stock raiser	$562	$2750	IL		Frances is the father of William, 19, and John, 5; however, we don't know for sure yet which one of these--indeed, if either--is the John (William) Johnson who appears in the 1880 census below. My search of Ancestry.com uncovered only one Frances Johnson in Llano Co. in this census, however, leading me to believe that one or the other of them is most likely the same John (William) Johnson.
	Elizabeth Johnson	37	[1823]	f				FL
	William Johnson	19	[1841]	m				TX	x	In 1850 he is listed as William J. Johnson. He's also found in 1870--see below. [This small x stands for "Attended school within the year," and so for the other five as well.]
	Frances M. Johnson	18	[1842]	m				TX	x	Possibly named for Frances Marion of SC, the "Swamp Fox" of the Am. Revolution.
	Asa Johnson	16	[1844]	m				TX	x	Found in 1870--see below.
	Simantha C. Johnson	11	[1849]	f				TX	x	Interesting misspelling.
	Cropoloney E. Johnson	9	[1851]	f				TX	x	Incredible creativity in this name--where did they get that?! :-) Janice Stensrude says her name is Carpolonia (aka "Carp" and "Lonie").
	John Johnson	5	[1855]	m				TX	x	This must be the father-to-be of twins Roy and Ray. The only evidence I have in that regard, however, is his name, age, and geographical location. Further, I cannot find him in 1870; only in 1880 do I have the correct John Johnson, 25. But Janice Stensrude says that this is he, so she must have other evidence that I do not, and I present him here as her find.
	Lite S. Johnson	2	[1858]	m				TX		Also an interesting name. Janice Stensrude has him as Lite Stapleton Johnson.
	Charles W. Johnson	7 mo.	[Dec 1859]	m				TX		Possibly named for Charles Wesley...

He is the right age and is living in Llano Co. not far from where his brother Asa was found (see above). But where is their brother John who was five in1860 and should be 15 here?

We are discovering John and Liza to be the "furthest back persons" we have for sure--to date--in this line so far; they are two of the ggg-grandparents of Malry Jr.'s and my grandsons! Thanks to Janice Stensrude for the tip on where to look! :-)

Johnson, Liza

(see above) -- Janice Stensrude also says that Liza's maiden name is Stone. If so, there is evidence here that her brother is living next door and her parents are living next door to him, so I have included those Stones on this chart also (see photocopy of census below).

This is Malry, Sr.'s, father and Malry, Jr.'s, grandfather. Janice Stensrude states on her page (see bottom of this page) that Roy appears here with "2 brothers & 3 half siblings", thus indicating (1) that John is not the father of the oldest of the three children--William, Ceilly, and John--and (2) that the census taker erred in not calling these children step-siblings.

Roy Johnson

head

farmer

Roy reports that he is married (as opposed to widowed or divorced), yet she is not in this picture. But Sharron wrote to say she died when her dad--Malry Sr., was only about 9-10, so that's ca. 1930. We're thinking she had only died very recently when this census was taken.
As you can see, Roy--residence #19--was living right between two of his brothers-in-law and one house away from his parents-in-law. This census showed that he was paying them only $3.00 a month rent for living on the Gordon family ranch--a real gift in just about ANY economy!

Hi John,

Dad's mom was Willie Gordon and was married to Roy Johnson... They had 4 sons that lived to adulthood, Robert, Harold, Malry and Clinton. I don't recall William and Samuel although they could have been some of the kids that died younger. The only daughter that I have ever heard mentioned was Chloe who died in a house fire when she was only a young girl... 11 or 12, I think. Grandma Johnson died when dad was only about 9 or10, so that would have been just about 1930??
By 1920 they were living in Caballo, New Mexico, because Dad was born there, and he was born in 1920.
Dad and Gerry are gone for the summer, and getting him to sit down and discuss his family is like pulling his teeth. *laughs* He keeps telling me to stop finding more of his relatives. *shrugs* Perhaps we could all corral him when he gets home and bombard him with questions. I'll also mention to Gerry that maybe she could get Dad to tell her his tree and she could write it down for us... she would do that, and Dad would be more apt to talk to her, I think....

I do know that Roy had a twin brother, Ray. And Ray was married to Willie's sister, but I can't remember her name right off the top of my head. Dad's grandma Gordon pretty much raised him and the other boys.. Robert was married, I think, when his mom died, but Harold, Dad and Clinton were still young and at home. Robert died in 1970 in Flagstaff, Arizona, and is buried in Winslow. He had 2 daughters, Mary and Betty. I think Mary lives in Deming and I think her last name is Raley... Malene would know that because she used to work with Malene. Betty died several years ago. If you could find Mary you would have a plethora of information, I think..

In God's Love,
Sharron

Hey, John...yes, Roy was Grandpa Johnson's name...In the 1920's this Johnson clan was living in the Caballo, N.M. area... Grandpa and Grandma had moved from Texas recently before... somewhere in the Commanche River area, I think...My dad was born in Sept. of 1920 (Robert, Samuel, Harrold and a sister, I believe, were older) and his mother died when he was about seven years old... soon after that, my Grandpa and Robert, maybe, Harrold, Malry and William Clinton along with one of Grandpa's brothers, moved to Alamogordo by driving all their cattle across the Jornada to Organ Pass and on over to Alamogordo... Robert might have already been out cowboying on his own by then...I know he said he was on a round-up when one night his Mother's horse ran through camp while all were asleep, and he knew he needed to get home... his mother was dying; Samuel might have been a brother who died very young, and there was a sister a little older than my dad who died when my dad was only about three or four; she got her dress on fire while their mother was making soap in a kettle outside on a wood fire and she died as a result of severe burns... Robert married Aunt Nettie and Harrold married Aunt Dorothy... Malry married Clora Cordellia McGinn and William Clinton married Emma. Grandpa Roy donated the land for the Caballo Cemetery to the township of Caballo, so there might be some info to be gleaned from that...

O.K., here's the scoop...Grandpa Johnson was Roy Johnson, Grandma was Willie (Gordon) Johnson whose father was John Gordon and mother was Mallie Backus... the brother to Grandpa I mentioned earlier was a twin to Grandpa and his name was Ray Johnson; he apparently never married... so far this is all I have been able to dig up... I'm sure Dad would talk with you... they should be back from their annual summer pilgrimage to the "cooler" country about Sept. Let us hear what you find... Malry and Millie

[John M. Gwin Note: I am grateful to Marilyn Poitras for her provision of the information found at this excellent website, portions of which I have highlighted here as pertaining to the Gordon and Johnson families presented on this page http://www.interment.net/data/us/nm/sierra/caballo/caballo.htm]

Caballo Cemetery, Sierra County, New Mexico

Lat: 32°55'27"N, Lon: 107°19'09"W

Contributed by Marilyn Poitras, Oct 24, 2001 [lavelle@zianet.com]. Total records = 51.

The little town of Caballo (it means "horse" in Spanish--pronounced KAH BAH YO) is located approximately 15 miles south of Truth or Consequences, NM, on Hwy 187.

This is still an active cemetery, but with no sexton or phone. It is a typical "western" cemetery with rocky soil, wooden crosses, and circles of stones. If you stop by the Caballo Store, they can give directions to the cemetery. [John M. Gwin Note: As highlighted in red in the e.mail above from Malry Johnson, Jr., he states that the land for this cemetery was donated to the Town of Caballo his own grandfather, Roy Johnson.]

All visible graves have been listed, but as with all old cemeteries, there are those unmarked graves. In 1938 the Caballo Dam was built, and water began to cover the homes of the early settlers. They moved their homes to the foothills on the west side of the Rio Grande.

These records show all visible burial sites in the Caballo Cemetery, which were compiled on 18 Nov 1994 by the Sierra County Genealogical Society, then published in a book. I have transcribed from this book, after being given permission by the society, so it could be published on the internet.

Other books available regarding Sierra County records may be purchased by contacting: Sierra County Genealogical Society, c/o Truth or Consequences Public Library, Truth or Consequences, NM 8790l

These are my working papers. Very little has been proved by me. Consider this a compilation of possibilities. Some of the "Abt" dates are my best wild guess and not based on census or other data. If your Blanco County ancestors are related to anyone in this database, I'd love to add your information. In any event, your comments and corrections are invited.
