Stacy: I believe your ancestor was captain of Co. I, in which my gg grandfather was a private. I copied my ancestor's (John W. Taylor) papers, but do not have them at the moment. Smith was also the father-in-law of the brother of my gg uncle, John Warner, whom I am also researching. I found this in the Memorial and Biographical History of Dallas Co., TX. Chicago, The Lewis Publishing Company. 1892 I know little about my ancestor, so I copy everything. Happy hunting.

Mr. Johnson was married in this county, August 31, 1882, to Fannie E. Smith, a native of Dallas county, and a daughter of La Fayette and Margaret S. (Daniel) Smith, natives of Mississippi and Alabama. The father came to Texas at an early day, was married in Dallas county, and afterward settled on a farm near the city of Dallas. He enlisted as Captain of a company in Gurley's regiment, and remained until the surrender, when he returned to Dallas county, and prior to the war he was Police Magistrate. Mr. and Mrs. Johnston have two children, William Earle and Annie Isabelle. Politically, Mr. Johnston is a member of the democratic party, and religiously both he and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mrs. Johnston has a sister, Sophronia, older than herself, and a brother, younger than herself,--James A., who married Mattie Layton and resides in Dallas.
