Re: John Frank Johnson of 48th VA

Unproven on-line genealogy shows:

Julia [A.] Ellington
Born: [1825] Washington, Virginia
Died:
[daughter of Francis Marion Ellington Born: 11 Nov 1799 Russell, Virginia Died: 6 Dec 1882 Mendota, Washington, Virginia and Rebecca Jett Born: 15 Dec 1789 in Botetourt, Virginia Died: 1875 in Mendota, Washington, Virginia]
Marriage: 1855 in Washington, Virginia
John Frank Johnson
Born: 21 Oct 1833 in Washington, Virginia
Died: abt 1906 in Mcdowell, West Virginia
Children Sex Birth
Robert Johnson M 1856
Mary F Johnson F 1857
James Nathaniel Johnson M 1 Jan 1862

Based on the above and the 1870 Federal Census, Julia apparently moved back in with her parents and reassumed the use of her maiden name.

1870 United States Federal Census

We also know from the 1870 Federal Census that John Frank Johnson was living with his new wife bur without his children from his former marriage in West Virginia. So where were they living prior to 1880? I don't find them in any Federal Census search.

1870 United States Federal Census

Age in 1870: 37
