I am pretty sure, but the African American side is a bit hazy. The Johnson’s hail from Owensboro, Kentucky and were slaves. It has been difficult to trace the ‘Johnson’ name because many slaves were given the name or they simply chose it as an ambiguous surname. The Winchester’s are a great big mix of Irish and Italian.
I spend a fair amount of time researching my heritage because people are constantly asking me what I am. At least once a day I get asked, 'Tu hables espanol?' Some ask if I am Puertorican, Brazilian, Cape Verdean, Haitian, African American, it’s kind of fun that no one can pin it down- great party trick.
