BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF DONNA (JOHNSON) JAKOBSSON

Donna (Johnson) Jakobsson descends from the Johnson, Raynor, Ulery, Wolf and related families of Greene and Washington Counties, Pennsylvania.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The Donna (Johnson) Jakobsson Collection has been divided into four series: Johnson, Album 1, Album 2, and Album 3.

The Johnson Series was initially arranged by family; the Album 1 Series, which began largely unidentified and without original order, is unarranged; the Album 3 Series and Album 4 Series are in their original order so that photographs are presented as they appear in the albums. Additional photographs continue to be added to the end of each series as they are shared for scanning. Consequently, it is best to use the JAKB Collection Index to look for specific individuals or subjects.

*The Johnson Series (Catalogue Code: AN001) photographs were passed from Zephaniah Johnson [1812-1895] and his first wife, Rachel Ulery [1819-1853], to their son George Johnson [1842-1914] and his wife, Ellen Janette Robertson [1850-1904], to their son Lawrence W. Johnson [1892-1953] and his wife, Claire Baker [1896-1999], to their daughter Donna (Johnson) Jakobsson.
