Weatherwax Genealogy

I haven't had a chance to look at this yet. Hoping it might have some connections on our Johnson side of the family in New York.
Elizabeth Weatherwax is the wife of Isaac Johnson, and they are the parents of David Johnson.  And David Johnson is the father of Lora Johnson Arnold. 
I found this on FAG while looking at the photos for the Stickle Cemetery in New York.
