Notes

The Johnson Album 1 Series photographs are in an album that probably once belonged to Phoebe Jane (Johnson) Rhodes [1846-1942] - wife of Othaniel Rhodes [1849-1923], daughter of George Wolf Johnson [1818-1900] and his wife, Eunice Smith [1821-1888]. The album was passed among relatives and ultimately given to Donna (Johnson) Jakobsson, a descendant of George Wolf Johnson's brother Zephaniah Johnson, who owned and shared the album with the Greene Connections: Greene County, Pennsylvania Archives Project in 2006.
