THE JOHNSON FAMILY.
There were numerous original ancestors bearing this name in the country, and tifty-two had graduated at New England and New Jersey colleges in 1828.
1. JOHN JOHNSON, the first of the name in Sanbornton, came very early to town from Epping, - one account says, " with the third com- pany of settlers " He was b. in 1740, and had been " a Revolutionary soldier from Epping," which service must have been confined to the campaign of 1775, as he was here to sign the " Test " in 1776. Henee, too, his arrival in town is determined as not earlier than the fall of 1775. He settled on the Johnson lot, No. 4, 1st Div., near the late Phinebas Sanborn's ; was a joiner ; m., 1st, Abigail Morrison, dau. of Bradbury, Sen. (see), who d. 1777, ac. 32 ; m., 2d, Mary (Molly) Smith, April 23, 1778 (Woodman's first on the t. r.). She was the dau. of Elisha Smith, Sen., and d. Sept. 12 (21), 1826, ae. 64-8. He had d. the previous year, May 24, 1825, ae. 85. Nineteen chil- dren are traditionally assigned to him, one or two of whom " d. very young, without names." His fifth was said to be Hannab, but Mrs. Brawn [11], his ouly surviving child in 1877, then atfirmed that she never had a sister by that name.
