BERRY, BRICE, JOHNSON, NANCE posted by Sue Thomson on Monday, July 31, 2000: My great-grandparents met and, we are told in family lore, married at Cotton Plant, AR on Jan. 25, 1888, where both were teaching school. His name was Alex BRICE; hers, Ella P. JOHNSON. Her older brother Thomas JOHNSON allegedly died there about 1899, age 28. I've not so far located his grave which could either be in Monroe Co. or Woodruff. Whether Ella and Thomas had ventured there alone or with their parents (William Berry JOHNSON & Martha Ann NANCE) is unknown. The JOHNSON family had lived in Pocahontas (Hardemann Co.) TN prior to that time, and in northeastern MS before that. After their marriage, Alex and Ella removed to Hopkins Co., TX where they remained. If you have any history of the teachers/schools in Cotton Plan just before the turn of the century, or of the BRICE brothers (Alex and Thomas) who married Ella and her sister Alice, please contact me by email (sthomson@concentric.net). Any info would be much appreciated.
