Desperately seeking J. C. LANKFORD/LANGFORD, the natural father of my g- grandfather, William Eugene JOHNSON. In 1888, Eugene was adopted at age 4 by Mrs. Maggie Johnson in Cooke County. Maggie JOHNSON and her husband William may have lived in Montague County for awhile. Family tradition says Mr. LANKFORD gave up his son after his wife died and he was unable to care for the child. Eugene may have been the 5th child of the LANKFORDS. He was supposed to have been born in 1884 near Sunset, TX in Wise Co. (later determined to be part of Montague Co.). Any clues to who J. C. LANKFORD was would be most welcome!
