* EDMUND JOHNSON settled in the north part of Hampton, on Little river, and lived there until 1701, when he had leave by vote of the town to lay down his land on Little river and take up over towards Kingston, in the parish of Kensington. At this time (1701) Edmund and his father-in-law's family, the Greens, and Elihu Chase took up three large tracts of land in and around what is now the village of Kensington, and settled upon the same, the three farms adjoining. The Greens and the Chases have always kept their farms along in their respective names. The Johnson farm has passed out of the Johnson name, and the buildings long since gone to decay.

* WILLIAM W. MCCLENCH graduated from Tufts college in 1875. Immediately afterward he commenced the study of law with Hon. George M. Stearns, of Chicopee, Mass. He was admitted to the bar in 1878, and has since been associated with Mr. Stearns in practice.
t JOHN WARREN JOHNSON entered Dartmouth college in 1847, and pursued the course of study there for two years. He then entered the office of Hon. David Cross, in Manchester, where he studied law until his admission to practice, in 1852. After practising a few years in Nashua, N. H., and in New Jersey, lie removed to Madison, Wis., where he died Oct. 31, 1867. He held the office of district attorney at Madison for several years; was at one time a member of the governor's staff, and organized a regiment for service in the war of the Rebellion. He was an eloquent and con- vincing speaker, to which gift he was largely indebted for his great success as an advocate.
Į ROBERT B. JOHNSON went from Weare to Holyoke, Mass., in the early days of the development of that city. For a number of years past he has been engaged in banking, and is now vice-president of the Holyoke National bank. He has been iden- tified with nearly every enterprise calculated to promote the prosperity of Holyoke; and throughout an honored and useful life, has commanded the respect and confi- dence of people of all classes.
§ EDMUND JOHNSON resided at East Weare for many years, and successfully car- ried on a large farm and lumbering business. He was an active and energetic man, possessed of a sound judgment, and took a prominent place in public affairs. For several years he held the office of selectman, and was colonel of the old Ninth regiment. In 1856 he moved to Charlestown, Mass., and lived there and in Boston until 1876, when, with his daughters, he removed to Oak Knoll, Danvers, Mass., where he died Feb. 13, 1877.
|| MOSES JOHNSON was an extensive farmer and lumber manufacturer. He also, at one time, owned and operated the grist-mill at East Weare. He was one of the most active men of his time; served on the board of selectmen, and was uniformly successful in his business undertakings.
