Does anyone have details on Tomas Peter Johnson's parents?
Aaron Klapheck's web site at http://aaronklapheck.com/Aarons_PAF_Site/pafg06.htm gives Pete's parents as William Wilbuirn Johnson (born in 1827) and Lul Reanie Parker (born in 1828 in Mississippi, USA).
The site also states:

Mr. Johnson was born at Mound Creek, South of Keenan, and about 6 miles from his last homje. When he was a boy, there was nothing but woods where Conroe is now, and he saw the first saloon and lumber mill of the town. Among his recollections was a picture of Houston when the town was nothing more than a mudhole. Mr. Johnson was married when he was 20 and was the father of 9 children, 6 of whom are dead.
