Midwife

My Granny Zettie Walker “Tudy” (Johnson) Bates recalled in the early 1990s that it was that delivered a number of folks she grew up with and helped to deliver herself.

Here are a few notes I found on who was credited as the midwife or doctor on site when her siblings were born, the children of Caleb “K” and Angeline “Pemmie” (Hall) Johnson.

William “Wedd” Johnson was born 7 Jan 1902 at Millstone, Letcher Co KY and delivered by Liza Lucas.

Estill “Son” Johnson was born 17 Apr 1907 in Knott Co KY and delivered by Sal Perry. (She also said he was a sleepwalker.)

Lettie Johnson was born 11 Dec 1909 in Knott Co KY and delivered by Sal Perry.

Rosanna “Rosannie” Johnson was born 4 Nov 1913 in Knott Co KY and delivered by Sal Perry.
She also said Rosannie & Jack were married 12 May 1940 in Knott Co KY by Tom Caudill at Rosannie’s parents home.
She also said that in 1949, Rosannie was confined to a hospital in London KY for 6 months due to TB.
She also said that Doc Collier with help of Zettie delivered Rosannie’s twins, and Doc Kelly delivered baby Inez.

George Johnson was born 26 Feb 1917 in Knott Co KY and Mandy Caudill delivered him.

Calvin Johnson was born 5 May 1924 in Knott Co KY and French Caudill delivered him.
