Obediah Johnson was born about 1802 somewhere in North Carolina, possibly in Montgomery County, where he is listed in the 1830 census as living east of the Pedee and Yadkin Rivers. The names of his parents are unknown, but it seems possible that either his father or an ancestor was named Needham (Nedom) Johnson. This name appears at various times among the descendants of Obediah and of his brother, Silas, spelled in various ways. There is a Needham Johnson listed in the 1810 census for Montgomery County, North Carolina, and in the 1790 census for Franklin County, North Carolina, there is a Nedom listed.
It is certain that that Obediah had a brother named Silas, who was born about 1800. Both brothers moved to Madison County, Tennessee, Silas being there in time for the 1830 census and Obediah probably moved there in the mid 1830's.
Obediah was married in North Carolina, and his older children were born there. There is the possibility that Obediah might have been married twice. The mother of at least most of his children was Nancy Mason, born about 1810 in North Carolina. She died in Madison County, Tennessee, in the 1860's or the 1870's.
In Madison County Obediah owned land on the north fork of the south fork of the Forked Deer River, in the vicinity of the Pinson and Cottongrove Roads. This was in the old Civil District #17, about five miles west of the town of Beech Bluff. Today this land is on Ranger Road, it appears, which is a crossroad between Beech Bluff and Mifflin Roads. Obediah purchased the land, estimated in the deed at 375 acres, and mostly on the south side of the river, for one thousand dollars in cash in November of 1871. Between 1873 and 1881 he had sold 397 acres for a total of $1930, and one mare and colt. He sold some of this land to his sons.
Obediah was the father of at least ten children: Annis, born about 1826, who was married to William H. Nobles; Jane ("Jennie"), born about 1828, who was married to Caswell Hogan; Emily, born about 1834, who was married to Dempsey Ussery; John, born about 1837; Sarah M., born about 1841, who was married to her first cousin, Nedom Johnson; Adaline, born about 1842, who was married to a man with the surname of Teddleton; Henry Clay, born July 26, 1844 or 1845, who had four wives: Ann Elizabeth E. Kirby, Sarah Elizabeth Williamson, Cindy Curtis, and Sarah ("Fannie") Johnson, his first cousin once removed; Martin, born about 1846, who was married to Margaret Johnson (no blood relation); Isaac T., born about 1848, who was married twice, his first wife being Mary F. Alexander; and Obediah, born January 22, 1852 or 1853, who was married to Caroline Crowder. Annis, Jane, and Emily were born in North Carolina, and the other children were born in Tennessee. There were possibly two older sons and an older daughter in the age group of Annis and Jane, as indicated by early census records.
Son Henry Clay, when he was seventy-seven years old, in the early 1920's filled out a Confederate questionnaire in which he gave a glimpse of the life of the Johnsons. He wrote that the family lived in a two-room log cabin and that they lived about one mile from the nearest school, a school with a male teacher, which charged a fee. Altogether, Henry Clay attended schools for about two months, and he wrote, "My father cut and split rails to pay for my schooling." Henry Clay stated that as a young man he "plowed and hoed." He said his mother spun and wove cloth and that "she carded and spun all our clothes." Henry Clay enlisted in the Confederate Army August 15, 1862, remained at home for three months, and then was sent to Mississippi.
Son John was also a Confederate soldier. He was captured by Union forces and held prisoner in Illinois. After the war de didn't return home and nothing was heard from him for the rest of his life. Many years later his nephew, Mack Johnson, was traveling in the Ozarks when he stopped at a gas station operated by Johnsons. Conversation with the owners revealed that they were the grandsons of John Johnson from Beech Bluff, Tennessee.
Obediah was still living in Madison County at the time of the June 1880 census, in the home of his widowed daughter, Sarah. The census for that year stated both of his parents were born in North Carolina. Obediah probably died in Madison County in the 1880's. He left no will, having disposed of his property before his death. He is buried without inscribed marker, probably in Mason Grove Cemetery in Madison County. Nancy is probably buried there, too.
He was often known as "Obe" or Obey," with the latter sometimes written as "O. B."
The present marker was added in 2016 by Great-Great Grandsons Nathan, Howard and Glenn Johnson. The death date on this marker is an approximation.
