Bob Johnson was the second son born to William Allen & Henrietta Story Johnson. They had two other sons, Edgar, born in 1888 and died from pneumonia after having to walk in the rain during the winter, unknown where he is buried. Henry who died during WWI following surgery. Henrietta died when Henry was born. Henrietta is buried in Leon County, name of cemetery unknown. When Bob was older, he went to the cemetery, but could not find her grave, so it is assumed she is in an unmarked grave. Bob, Edgar & Henry pretty much raised themselves until William Allen married "Aunt Lizzie". Bob's brother from this marriage was William Jordan Johnson born 10.19.1902; sisters Leanna Johnson born 1900 died 1985 and Margaret Johnson.

Mr Bob worked on several farms in the Wesley Chapel Community before he bought the 90 acres that became his and Im's home for over 50 years and is still in the family. From his 1917 Draft Registration, we know he was blue eyed, with red hair, medium height and medium build.

He farmed the 90 acres, and was known to trade horses, or anything he felt was a bargain. He and Ima Lee celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at their home in Wesley Chapel in 1961.
