Hi, My Great Great Grandmother is Janet Mauretta Johnson, daughter of Joel Hills Johnson and Janet Fife. She was born Dec 17, 1848 at Mill Creek, SLC, UT. I was just noticing that you spelled her name wrong on your family tree here. Anyway, thanks for posting all these stories about the family. I have enjoyed reading them.
