Box 3-6
Extent: 4 boxes.

Johnston then retraces the family backward in time. Succeeding chapters cover the Ellett lines, and then the family of Joseph William Pinder (1828-1897) by his two marriages. Again, his goal was to track all lines as far back in America as possible. The impetus for this volume was the original family papers that were handed down to him by his mother, and research by his aunt, Belle Pinder Rand. There are also bibliographies, guides to library and archival holdings, research aids, and histories of the Bahama Islands, Bermuda, and Barbados, as well as information on the Bahamas DNA Project.

Extent: 6 boxes.

The Hoopers of Caswell and Durham County, North Carolina and Allied Families, With Their Virginia Origins (Walker, Henderson, Kimbrough/Kimbro, Jones, Foster, Horton, Wilson/Willson, Strong, Salling and Carter) traces Johnston's wife's maternal line. There is detailed information on the Hooper line in Caswell County that leads back to Zachariah Hooper of Amelia County, Virginia, and other Hooper lines in Virginia. There is also research on the paternal line of Capt. Richard Jones (ca. 1784-1861) of Caswell County, much of it with the aid of Audrey Z. Jones of Lexington, Kentucky. There is a good deal of correspondence with her, as well as Marilyn Symonds. The work of Katherine Kerr Kendall in abstracting Caswell County records, and information on the Hooper family provided by D. Wayne Gunn of Kingsville, Texas was also used to compile this volume. There are also copies of the Hooper Compass newsletter.

Series VII. The Tangled Trail of Two John Popes (2010).
Box 24-25
Extent: 2 boxes.

The Tangled Trail of Two John Popes: Colonel John Pope of Amherst County, Virginia, and John Pope of Prince William County, Virginia, and Wilkes County, Georgia contains information on two cousins named John Pope who have often been confused for one another in later attempts to identify the author of A Tour Through the Southern and Western Territories of the United States of North America; the Spanish Dominions on the River Mississippi and in the Floridas; The Countries of the Creek Nations and Many Uninhabited Parts (1792). Johnston's report explores records illuminating the lives and families of each man, one John Pope (1749-1802) who likely was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, and lived in Prince William County, Virginia, and later in Wilkes County, Georgia, where he died; the other, Colonel John Pope (ca. 1754-1795), who was born in Louisa County, Virginia, and lived in Amherst County, Virginia, and died in Augusta, Georgia.

Series VIII. The Tangled Trail of Benjamin Dawson of Orange and Spotsylvania Counties, and the City of Richmond and Northumberland, Fauquier and Frederick Counties in Virginia (2010).
Box 25-28
Extent: 4 boxes.

The Tangled Trail of Benjamin Dawson of Orange and Spotsylvania Counties, the City of Richmond and Northumberland, Fauquier, and Frederick County, Virginia includes information on the identity of the Benjamin Dawson (d. ca. 1826), who married second wife Ann Pope Roy (d. ca. 1832) in 1804, attempting to differentiate him from contemporaries with the same name. There is material on the first marriages of Benjamin and Ann Dawson, the dispute over Benjamin Dawson's will and land he owned in Ohio, his Revolutionary War service, his children with both wives, and likely candidates for his parents and siblings. Johnston's research indicated that this Benjamin Dawson showed up at different times in Frederick, Fauquier, Northumberland, Orange, and Spotsylvania Counties, and Richmond, Virginia.
