Comfort Hester (Johnson) - Maiden Name

The trees I see her in on Ancesty show her parents as Jonathan Johnson and Sarah Repalye --- which would explain the Johnson maiden name. Ancestry trees show both Sarah Repalye and her daughter Comfort as Cherokees.

I found a link that explains the Johnson name another way:

The Life Summary of Comfort Cherokee Johnson
Comfort Cherokee Johnson Hester was born in 1754, in Robeson, North Carolina, United States as the daughter of John B Williams and Sarah Rapayle Johnson. She married John Hester in 1774, in Bladen, North Carolina, British Colonial America. They were the parents of at least 3 sons and 7 daughters. She died on 6 March 1836, in Bladen, North Carolina, United States, at the age of 82.

So it seems perhaps Sarah Repalye had a relationship with John B. WIlliams but married Jonathan Johnson. Since Comfort when by the maiden name Johnson, was Jonathan her biolgoical or adopted father?

I just discovered someone messaged me about this in January this year but I just now saw the message.

Anyway, they wrote:

Hello Debbie, when I started this tree in 2008 I believe comforts was correct.

Much of the tree was public for awhile before I changed it. My fought people came in and messed it. I do not think Johnson belongs in conforms name either. It stems from the possible wrong info on her mother Sarah Williams

If you can please fix that too that would be great. As soon as I hear back I’ll approve you to be manager of Comfort.

Thank you,

M. H.

So for this reason, I'm changing Comfort's maiden name to Williams unless someone has documentation to put in her About section that it was Johnson.
