My Notes On This
Group: The Roman Empire was the first to use troops all over the world they
left blood groups ever where they went from Countries of Africa to England: The
Roman Empire was one of the VAST spreading Empires in the World to first use
troops of other Countries it conquered. The use of using other troops from
Conquered Countries spread with each developing Empire.

In 1752 the new

General History of the
Founding of Johnson City Texas
The Site of the Johnson Ranch on Town Creek, the site of present day Johnson City, was at a very old crossroads.
A north-south route from Blanco to the Colorado River was known as early as Spanish Times.
Miranda in 1579 passed this way crossing the Pedernales in the vicinity of
Johnson City on his way to inspect the supposed Silver deposits near Llano.
McCarty Spring just four miles to the
northwest of town was a favored way station for travelers between Austin and
Fredericksburg. Andrew Jackson
Johnson, an older brother to Tom and Sam Johnson, located his home near this spring in 1858 or 1859.
Topography
and the conditions of early day travel by horse or horse and wagon had long
established this section of the Pedernales Valley as a natural stopping place
and cross-roads.
However,
none of the early sites grew into a lasting settlement other than as Ranch
stations.
When Lyndon
B. Johnson’s Grandfather, Sam Ealy Johnson, Sr., gave up his cattle-driving
business (driving cattle up the Chisholm Trail had become unprofitable), he
and his brother, Tom Johnson, sold out their interests to a nephew,
James Polk Johnson.
The
nearest post office, mill and general store were located fourteen miles south
in Blanco/Pittsburg.
There were still renegade Indians roaming the area
as well, so travel over any distance was viewed with great apprehension. For
that reason, settlers in the north end of Blanco
County began to plan for a city in the
northern area.
In 1879,
a barbecue was held at the springs on Town Creek located on the Johnson
Ranch. At this meeting three sites for a town were offered, and the one
accepted by vote of the settlers was a 320 acre plot of land on the Pedernales
River offered by James Polk Johnson. After the decision, his many
friends took him up on their shoulders and cheered him for his victory and for
the decision by the residents to name the new town after him.
James
Polk made the transition from rancher to businessman very successfully. It was
the organizational ability of James Polk Johnson that converted a
natural way station to a settled community and a county seat. James Polk’s
Grist Mill was a steam-powered cotton gin and gristmill on Town Creek.
Principal crops in this area were corn and cotton. In the early 1940’s the gin
was purchased by George Crofts and converted to a milling and grain operation,
which flourished until the late 1970’s.
By the time of his premature death at age 40 in 1885, James Polk had built the first gristmill, the Pearl Hotel and had under construction the building (now the Johnson City Bank) that was to be a general merchandise store. This building came to have the first jail in its basement, and served as the first Johnson City courthouse. The first church congregation (Methodist) met in an upstairs room of this building until their church building was constructed, and later Lyndon B. Johnson had his local offices in this building constructed by his second cousin.
Blanco County was created on February 11, 1858, from Burnet, Comal,
Gillespie and Hays Counties. In
establishing the county the legislature mandated that the "county set
thereof shall also be called Blanco and should be within five miles of the
center of the county." Judge William E. Jones of Curry’s Creek was
appointed by the legislature to organize the county.
Following the formation of Kendall County in 1862 from portions of Blanco and Kerr Counties with the subsequent loss of territory and population on the south, pressure grew to move the seat of government. This was the major factor in the relocation of the county seat to Johnson City in 1890. The boundary line changes had positioned Johnson City within two miles of the center of the county. http://www.johnsoncitytexaschamber.com/history/index.html
McCarty Spring just four miles to the northwest of town was a favored way station for travelers between Austin and Fredericksburg. Andrew Jackson Johnson, an older brother to Tom and Sam Johnson, located his home near this spring in 1858 or 1859.
http://www.texashillcountry.com/johnsoncity/johnsoncity.htm
Andrew Jackson Johnson, an older brother
to Tom and Sam Johnson, located in the area around 1858. In the 1870s, Sam
Early Johnson, Sr. (LBJ’s grandfather) sold his interest to a nephew, James
Polk Johnson. During a barbecue in 1879, he donated a 320-acre plot of land on
the Pedernales River for the location of a new town. In appreciation, the
residents named the new town after him. http://www.lakeonflatcreek.com/location.php

JESSE CHRISTOPHER JOHNSON (1838 ~ 1911). Jesse Johnson was born
in Alabama on May 24, 1838 to John
Leonard Johnson and Elizabeth Johnson and was the grandson of Jesse Johnson and
Lucy Webb Johnson. He had three siblings,
James P. Johnson (founder of Johnson City),
John T. Johnson,
Nathan Johnson
Sister: Melissa Elizabeth Johnson (married R. J. Johnson).
When Jesse was ten years old his mother died and his father was a
physician and unable to raise his children alone. Their grandparents raised the
children.
During the Civil War, Jesse Johnson served in Co. C.
of the 8th Texas Cavalry, C. S. A. Following the War, he moved to Blanco County
by 1870. In 1872, he went into the cattle business
with his brother-in-law, R. J. Johnson. He was admitted to the Confederate
Men's Home in Austin on several different occasions and died on July 13, 1911.

1838 Nov 12 Born Samuel Ealy Johnson, Sr., in Alambama died 1915
Stonewall Texas,
he was a cattleman, and a soldier.
Johnson was raised a Baptist,
but later became a member of the Christian Church (Disciples of
Christ). In his later years, he became a Christadelphian.[1]
He was the grandfather of Lyndon Baines Johnson, the father of Texas
politician, Samuel Ealy Johnson, Jr., and the uncle of Johnson City, Texas founder James Polk Johnson. He was
the tenth child of Jesse and Lucy Webb (Barnett) Johnson.
After serving in the Civil War, Sam married Eliza Bunton of Caldwell County on December 11,
1867.
1845, August 24, James Polk
Johnson was the son of Dr. John Leonard Johnson and Elizabeth Barnett Johnson
who were born in Georgia then
moved to Alabama where James was born. He left Alabama with his parents at
an early age and settled in Dewitt Co., Texas, where
he spent most of his youth. At 16, he volunteered for service in the CSA, then
after the Civil war joined his uncles in Blanco
County. The brothers, Thomas Jesse
Johnson and Samuel Ealy Johnson, Sr. had settled in the Pedernales River Valley
and bought land in Blanco County before
the Civil war and have become partners in a cattle driving business.
Between 1868 and 1871 the Johnsons made four great cattle drives north up the
Chisholm Trail to Abilene, Kansas, each
with herds numbering between 2,500 and 3,000 head, being the largest
trail-driving outfit in Blanco and the six surrounding counties, as
well. This partnership was dissolved in 1871, and the brothers sold their
holding to their nephew, former ranch hand and drover, James Polk Johnson.
James with this acquisition of
land went back to Hockheim, DeWitt County to marry his childhood sweetheart, Julia Ann Moore, on
November 23, 1871, and traveling in covered wagon brought her to the Johnson
Ranch in Blanco
County, then located about fifteen miles
from the nearest settlement.
This isolation was a dangerous thing as there were many Indians in the area. The settlers made plans for the establishment of a town in the North end of Blanco County, with a barbecue being held on July 4, 1879 at a spring on Town Creek for the purpose of selecting a new town site. Three sites were offered: one by Mr. W. A. Kemp -- a plot of land on Deer Creek; one by Mr. Cockran on a plot on Flat Creek; and another by Mr. James Polk Johnson near the Pedernales River. Mr. Johnson's land was accepted after much discussion. About this same time the idea was conceived to have the county seat moved from Blanco to the new Johnson City nearer the geographical center of the county. A Dec. 1876 effort to call an election failed. In August 1879 petition of the citizens from the northern section of the county were presented to the County Commissioners Court for the election of Oct 28, 1879. Blanco won out by a small margin of 7 votes.
James Polk Johnson built many
structures in the new Johnson City,
which would eventually become the County Seat. Among
these is one of his buildings still standing at Seventh St. and Nugent, the
two-stroy, double-front porched old Pearl Hotel. The hotel was built in
the early 1880s. He also built the cotton gin and mill located on the
south side of US Hwy 290. At the time of his death on Oct. 18, 1885, Johnson
had under construction the building now housing the Johnson City Bank, which
was to be used as a general merchandise store. The building housed the
Court House until the present courthouse built of white limestone quarried from
the surrounding hills, was constructed.

about this project from the Blanco
Co. Rootsweb email list. I am a female
heir of James Polk Johnson and would love to see the results of the
project.
The Descendants of James P. Johnson had a
reunion in 2004 which I jointly planned with two other cousins. I still
have addresses for the participants, but there are few male Johnsons
left. I don't believe they receive email. I would be happy to
provide you with addresses if you are willing to contact them and explain the
project. Please advise me. Gayle

In the late 1850s, Samuel
Ealy Johnson Sr. settled with his brother
Jesse Thomas "Tom"
Johnson in a one-room log cabin on 320 acres that became headquarters for the
largest cattle driving operation in seven counties.
Sam enlisted in Col. Xavier Blanchard Debray's
regiment on September 18, 1861, and served until the end of the American Civil War on the coast of Texas and in Louisiana. He was present at the Battle of Galveston and at the Battle of Pleasant Hill in Louisiana.
In the fall of 1892, Sam Ealy Johnson Sr. offered himself

1877 Samuel Ealy
JOHNSON Jr, born. To Eliza Bunton and Samuel Ealy Johnson, Sr
Samuel Ealy Johnson, Jr. Buda, Texas October 11,
1877 – October 23,
1937 was the father of
thirty-sixth President Lyndon Baines Johnson and the son of Samuel Ealy Johnson, Sr. for whose
nephew, James Polk Johnson, Johnson City, Texas was named. He was a struggling farmer and
cattle speculator who lived in the hill country of Texas and provided an
uncertain income for his family.
Politically active, Sam Johnson served five terms in the
Texas legislature as a Democrat. He is remembered for attacking
the Ku Klux Klan
on the floor of the Texas legislature during a time when many of his colleagues
were Klan sympathizers (an event famously referred to by his son). He also was
instrumental in the legislation that enabled the state of Texas to acquire the Alamo property in San Antonio, enabling that monument to be
preserved as an important part of American history.
He married Rebekah Baines, daughter
of Joseph Wilson Baines, on August 20,
1907. According to Lady Bird Johnson,
Johnson's daughter-in-law, Sam Ealy Johnson, Jr., joined the Christadelphian
Church, where his father and mother belonged, toward the end of his
life.[1]
He is buried in Johnson City, Texas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Ealy_Johnson,_Jr.
SAMUEL EALY JOHNSON, JR. (1877-1937).
Samuel Ealy Johnson, Jr., legislator and father of Lyndon Baines
Johnson,qv the son of Eliza Bunton and Samuel Ealy Johnson, Sr.,qv was born at Buda, Texas, on October 11, 1877. He moved with his parents to Gillespie County, where he attended school at Johnson City. Although forced to leave school at
an early age, he passed the teacher's examination and was awarded a teaching
certification. He taught school in 1896 at White Oak School in Sandy and later
at Rocky School near Hye. In 1904 he was elected to the state legislature from
the Eighty-ninth District, succeeding his future father-in-law, Joseph Wilson
Baines.qv He served in the Twenty-ninth, Thirtieth, Thirty-fifth,
Thirty-sixth, Thirty-seventh, and Thirty-eighth legislatures. He was the author
of the Alamo Purchase Bill (which appropriated $65,000 for the purchase of the
Alamo property), a bill providing $3 million to aid drought-stricken farmers
and ranchers of West Texas, the Blue Sky Law,qv and other important
legislative measures. On August 20, 1907, Johnson married Rebekah Baines (see
JOHNSON, REBEKAH BAINES). The couple were parents of five children,
including the thirty-sixth president of the United States. In 1906 Samuel E.
Johnson, Jr., suffered severe financial losses, which wiped out his cotton
holdings and left him deeply in debt. For a number of years he was engaged in
real estate transactions. In 1935 and 1937 he was stricken with heart attacks.
He died on October 23, 1937, and was buried in the family cemetery at Johnson
City.

Johnson City is the
County Seat of Blanco County. It
was named for the pioneer Johnson Family, ancestors of President Lyndon B.
Johnson. Blanco County
is a farm and ranch area. Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park
Information Center is two blocks south of U. S. 90. The old
Johnson Ranch was called the Johnson Settlement, owned by President
Johnson's grandfather and great-uncle from 1867 to 1872. It was the
gathering point of a seven county area for cattle drives. It also
served as an aid station for those wounded in the Deer Creek Indian Battle.
It originally was a dog run cabin, barn and other buildings.
The Pedernales Falls State Park which has 4,800 scenic acres is
also located in Blanco County.
