I agree, Carol, and don’t forget that Claud claims in the documentary "In Search of Robert Johnson" that he was seven or eight years old the last time he saw his father and "he played and sanged the guitar for me" (sic). If Claud was born in 1931, Robert Johnson was already dead when Claud was seven or eight years old.

If you read the court documents, no DNA was collected from ANYONE because the burial plot of Robert Johnson is unknown. He is buried in one of three places, just thrown in the ground without a proper burial. The man is not at rest. Also, the relatives of Carrie Spencer did not want to disrespect her and have her exhumed. What the court failed to realise was that DNA can be collected from the living relative, as it was on the maternal side.

The judge in that case opted to believe the testimony of an 88 year old woman who was a groupie at the time going to see blues musicians at juke joints. This woman claimedto have seen Robert Johnson and Claud Johnson’s mother standing up against a tree kissing and heavy petting! In this day and age, with the availability of DNA testing that enables other relatives to give DNA, a judge believes heresay.

Two of the pictures owned by Robert Johnson’s sister were copied by an individual who promised to split the proceeds of Mr. Johnson’s image used commercially and never paid the family members who owned them any compensation despite a contract. Since the family did not hear from this man and was never paid, the family rescinded the contract and this man continues to use COPIES of the originals on record covers, posters, and media, He was never heard from again by the family, What a theif.

The Robert Johnson Foundation cannot even use these pictures unless they want to pay this individual thousands of dollars for COPIES of the original pictures he does not even have the proper rights to. There are other pictures that are owned that have never been published as he didn’t get his hands on those and they are locked up in a vault.

Well if they didnt get Dna, they really should. People are forgetting they wasnt just going on the old Ladys testimony, but also video of clauds mother, and a birth certificate, and it was being based upon what son house revealed in interviews about johnson handing out records to his love children

When house said records he could have meant money, cause the grandparents did take money when he offered. Perhaps he offered records but they refused for that reason
