JOHNSON (01/15/99)

I am searching for information on Willis JOHNSON. I think he was born in Randolph Co. GA. about 1845. He served with the 55th GA. Inf. at Andersonville prison. I believe his mother and father was James JOHNSON b.1795 and Louisa ROBINSON b. 1811. However I am not 100% sure of his parents. Thank you for any help in my research. Sincerely, Brazil Johnson.
