Roberts Family, Murrell Family (Click for Family Tree)
There are more Johns families found in various volumes of “Abstracts of the Records of the Society of Friends in Indiana,” but they are in areas other than Raysville-Knightstown, where we find some of our know Johns relatives. The above abstract is for unknown persons, but there is a high probability of them being related.
We have found a Riley Matthew Johns (1877-1965), whose wife was Lillie W. Collingwood and at least three sons, including William Glen Johns (1897-1953). Riley’ father was Henry Johns, but the mystery is, which one? If this is the same Riley, he would have only been 13 when he joined the Quakers at Raysville-Knightstown (“rec in mbrp” means “received in membership”) but that is entirely possible.
Please let us know if you have more information about this family.
