	Johnny cake, from what I've read in a number of cookbooks, derives
from the name 'Journey cake' and was originally little more than cornbread
intended for the traveler to take and eat along his/her way.  Since recipes
for cornbread have many variations around a fairly common central theme, I
would guess that it's dang nigh impossible to figger out which one your
grandfather was making, although it probably could be approximated by making
cornbread and just adding a few ingredients for each experimental batch. 
I've heard of folks putting bacon bits and creamed corn in their cornbread,
for example.
