(Note: The family has indicated that a genetic predisposition for a "club foot" existed in some of the earlier generations of the paternal line of the family.  Should the reader be aware of such a medical condition existing in an Overton line, it would be a further indication that there is a genetic connection between the Johnson surname and the Overton surname.  Please contact the sponsor by clicking on her name in the column to the left if you wish to share this information with her.)
