and was an influential citizen of the com- munity. For many years he was the owner of a slave named "Ike," whom he finally eman- cipated. He married, April 22, 1769, Pru- dence, daughter of Wyllys Howe. She was of Welsh descent.
(VI) Obed (3), son of Obed (2) and Pru- dence (Howe) Edson, was born August 16, 1772, in Lanesboro, Massachusetts, and resided for a time at Cooperstown, Otsego county, New York, later at Richfield, in the same county, whence he removed to Eaton, Madison county, New York, where he died August 6, 1804. He was a clothier by occupation, in religion an Episcopalian, in politics a Jeffersonian Repub- lican, and was affiliated with the Masonic fra- ternity. He married (first ) Aurora Higgins; (second) Fanny Bigelow, July 16, 1794, at Cooperstown. The latter marriage was per- formed by Rev. Daniel Nash, the prototype of Parson Grant in James Fenimore Cooper's "Pioneers." Obed Edson was well educated for his time-a student, and a reader of good literature. Children: Obed, John Milton (mentioned below), and Fanny Aurora. The latter became the wife of Horace Potter, and resided at her decease at Kankakee, Illinois.
Fanny (Bigelow) Edson, mother of John Milton Edson, was born in Colchester, Con- necticut, April 7, 1777, daughter of Elisha Bigelow. He was a captain in the American army in the war of the revolution. His three sons served during that war-two of them were officers. Her mother, Thankful Beebe, whose ancestor served under Cromwell, died in Sinclairville in 1839, at the age of ninety- seven years. Fanny came with her father's family in 1793, to Cooperstown, Otsego county, New York. Her father purchased land of the father of J. Fenimore Cooper, and the families were well known to each other. She knew the persons who were rep- resented in the "Pioneers," and was familiar with incidents upon which the story was founded. She married (second) Major Sam- uel Sinclair, with whom she and her children removed in 1810 to Sinclairville, Chautauqua county, when its site was a wilderness, where a village afterwards grew up, that was named in his honor. She was intelligent and well educated in her day, and filled an important place in the several communities in which she lived, and was widely known and honored for her virtues and her useful life. She died in Sinclairville January 12, 1852.

Samuel Sinclair, her husband, whose first wife was Sarah or Sally Perkins, when a mere lad attended for a year as a servant or page for his uncle, Joseph Cilley, colonel of the First New Hampshire regiment, and then, when about fifteen years of age, enlisted as a soldier in his uncle's regiment, for three years. He was in the battles of Saratoga and Monmouth, and at Valley Forge, and in Sul- livan's campaign against the Indians. His mother was Mary, daughter of Captain Joseph Cilley, of New Hampshire. Mr. Sinclair was a near kinsman of Governor B. F. Butler, of Massachusetts, Hon. John G. Sinclair, late lieutenant-governor of New Hampshire, and Hon. Jonathan Cilley, who fell in a famous duel with Graves, a member of congress from Kentucky. Samuel Sinclair was a Royal Arch Mason, the founder of the Masonic lodge in Sinclairville, and one of the founders of For- rest Lodge of Fredonia, the first established in Chautauqua county.
(VII) John Milton, son of Obed (3) and Fanny (Bigelow) Edson, was born July 30, 1801, at Eaton, Madison county, New York. When a child of about nine years he removed with his mother and stepfather, Major Sam- uel Sinclair, to the site of the present village of Sinclairville, when the county was then a wilderness.
His early life was spent in the forest, without school opportunities, but he was dis- tinguished for his physical power and skill. Accomplished in all manner of woodcraft, he became a leader among pioneers. His taste for investigation, large and original views and natural ability, supplied in a great measure the poverty of his early opportunities for ob- taining a high education. When a very young man he was chosen colonel of the regiment allotted to his part of the county, and later the first master of Sylvan Lodge of Masons in Sinclairville. In his early life he was long a justice of the peace, often supervisor of his town, and also a United States marshal. He became a judge of the court of common pleas, and served as such until that court was abol- ished by the constitution of the state. In 1831 he married Hannah, daughter of Jona- than and Ursula (Church) Alverson. She was born in Halifax. Windham county, Ver- mont, June 3, 1804; came with her mother to reside in Gerry, Chautauqua county, New York, in 1821. She died November 22, 1878. Children : Obed (4) (mentioned below) ;
Fanny Ursula, born June 4, 1834, married Henry, son of Melzer Sylvester.
(VIII) Obed (4), only son of John M. and Hannah (Alverson) Edson, was born Febru- ary 18, 1832, at Sinclairville, and received his primary education in the public schools of that village and the Fredonia Academy. He began the study of law with Hon. E. H. Sears, at Sinclairville, subsequently entered the law school at Albany, and was admitted to the bar in Albany, April 8, 1853, and is now the oldest lawyer practicing in Chautauqua county, where he has been thus engaged fifty-nine years. In early life and at intervals later he followed the business of railroad and land surveying. In 1851 he was employed in the counties of Chautauqua and Cattaraugus in the survey of the New York and Erie railroad, which was then being built from New York City to Dunkirk. Mr. Edson was afterwards engaged in the survey of other railroads and plank roads in New York and Pennsylvania and also in land surveying. In 1867 he assisted in the survey and location of the line then known as the Dunkirk and Warren railroad.
Mr. Edson has always taken a keen in- terest in historical matters, and is the author of various histories of Chautauqua county and other books, besides contributing leading articles to The Magazine of American His- tory, The Continent, The Chautauquan, and other periodicals, and has lectured before the Chautauqua Institute, and delivered the his- torical address at Westfield in 1902 on the occasion of the centennial celebration of the settlement of Chautauqua county. He made a similar address at the celebration of the cen- tennial of the settlement of the city of James- town, and has delivered many other addresses and lectures. For many years he has been president of the Chautauqua County Histori- cal Society ; and is a member of the Buffalo Historical Society; of the New York State Bar Association ; and president of the Ever- green Cemetery Association of Sinclairville. In political matters Mr. Edson has always act- ed with the Democratic party. In early life he served as justice of the peace ; was several years supervisor of his native town (Char- lotte), and has served as a member of the state legislature. He is an active worker of the Masonic fraternity; was several years master of Sylvan Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, of Sinclairville. He was first chosen

in 1861 and last elected in 1911, a half cen- tury later, and is now, at the age of eighty, still its master. He is a member of the Royal Arch Masons of Jamestown. Mr. Edson is active in both mind and body, and those meet- ing him are surprised when they learn his age. He is by nature genial and kindly; is most democratic in character and habits, and enjoys the warm regard of a very large num- ber of people.
He married, at Sinclairville, May II, 1859, Emily Amelia Allen, born November 27, 1835, at New London, Connecticut, daughter of Caleb J. and Emily (Haley) Allen. She died in March, 1899. In his youth, Caleb J. Allen was a sailor before the mast on a Pacific ocean whaler, and later became a hatter in New London; subsequent to that he was a merchant in that city and in Sinclairville, New York. He served as mayor and postmaster at New London, and was a member of the state senate in Connecticut. His children were: James A. Allen, a lawyer of Buffalo; Samuel T., a captain of the civil war, and a lawyer in New York City ; Caleb J., a lawyer of Iowa, and officer in the civil war, serving at Vicks- burg, afterwards prisoner at Belle Isle, and died in the service; Stephen H., the only sur- vivor of the family, is a lawyer of Topeka, Kansas, where he has held important judicial positions, having been six years judge of the supreme court of the state. Children of Obed (4) Edson and wife: I. Fanny Allen, born April 28, 1860, in Sinclairville; was educated at Buffalo high school, and became the wife of John A. Love. 2.

(IX) Walter Henry Edson, son of Obed (4) and Emily A. (Allen) Edson, was born in
1874, at Sinclairville, Chautauqua county, New York. He graduated at the Sinclair- ville high school, and was valedictorian of his class. Winning the state scholarship for Chautauqua county, he entered Cornell Uni- versity in the fall of 1892. During his college course he took part upon the prize stage in declamation, oratory and debate, and was an assistant in the oratorical department of the university. He graduated in 1896, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Letters. He deliv- ered the memorial address of his class. He was class baseball director and pitcher for the second 'varsity, and many local teams in Chautauqua county. He graduated from Cor- nell University College of Law in June, 1897.
He and Harley N. Crosby, now surro- gate of Chautauqua county, then holding a state scholarship from Oswego county, became acquainted the first week of their college year in Cornell. They entered in the same class and course, and graduated at the same time. They entered and graduated from Cornell University College of Law at the same time, and secured the degree of Bachelor of Laws. They both studied law at Sinclairville in the office of his father, Obed Edson, and were admitted to the practice of law in the courts of the state of New York in 1898. The same year they opened an of- fice at Falconer, Chautauqua county, under the firm name of Edson & Crosby, where they still continue the practice of law together, and are regarded as one of the strongest law firms of the county.
Walter H. Edson devotes himself closely to the practice of law, is not only an able advo- cate, but strong and thorough in the practice and trial of cases. He is a leading Democrat of the county, often presiding at the meetings of the party and speaking at mass meetings and on other occasions. He has been the can- didate of his party for member of assembly and county judge, but, as his party is greatly in the minority it seldom succeeds in electing its candidate. He was chairman of the Demo- cratic county committee from 1901 to 1905. He has been president of the board of educa- tion of Falconer, and is now president of the University Club, the men's literary society of Jamestown, and belongs to the Masonic fra- ternity. June 27, 1899, at Slumla, Chautau- qua county. he married Florilla Belle Clark, daughter of Francis Drake Clark and Isabel Martha (Grover) Clark. She was born at

Fredonia, New York, April 18, 1874, gradu- ated from Sinclairville high school in the same class with Mr. Edson. After teaching several terms in the district schools of the county, in 1897 she graduated at the Fredonia Normal School, and afterwards taught in the schools of Glen Ellyn, Illinois, and at Angelica, New York. She is a great-great-granddaughter of Major Samuel Sinclair, the founder of Sin- clairville, and his first wife, Sarah (Perkins) Sinclair. Sarah Perkins Sinclair was a direct descendant of Samuel Edson, of Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Walter H. Edson is a great- grandson of Fanny (Bigelow) Edson, the second wife of Major Samuel Sinclair, and also a direct descendant of Samuel Edson, above named. The children of Walter H. and Florilla B. Edson are: Isabel Emily, born August 5, 1902, at Falconer, New York, and Samuel Sinclair Edson, born at Falconer, May 13, 1906.
JOHNSON Families bearing the name of Johnson have been numerous in England for centuries and many have immigrated to America. Probably the first of the name to reach New England were three brothers, Edward, William and John, sons of William Johnson, of Herne Hill, near Canterbury, England. They came in the fleet with Winthrop in 1630. Solomon Johnson and another John Johnson also are mentioned as having come in the same year. They were likewise from Herne Hill, and were probably kindred. Edward Johnson was one of the founders of Woburn, Massachusetts; William settled in Charlestown, and John in Roxbury. Isaac Johnson, of Clipsham, Rut- landshire, England, also came in the fleet with Winthrop in 1630. His wife, Arabella, was the daughter of Thomas, fourteenth earl of Lincoln. He was the richest man in the col- ony ; both he and his wife died in the same year that they emigrated. He was probably a kinsman of the other Johnsons mentioned. Edward Johnson and his brothers were evi- dently of the landed gentry, inasmuch as Ed- ward left a large estate in England. He is known particularly as the author of "History of New England of Wonder Working Provi- dence of Sien's Savior in New England," published in London in 1654. He returned to England in 1636 and brought back his wife, seven children and three servants.
(I) John Johnson, brother of Edward and
William, and son of William of Herne Hill, England, brought with him his wife Margery and five children. He was admitted a freeman in 1630, settled in Roxbury, and was called a yeoman. October 19, 1630, he was chosen constable of Roxbury and serveyor of all the arms of the colony. He kept a tavern, was a man of wealth and distinction, and a deputy to the general court in 1634 and for many years afterward. His house was burned Au- gust 2, 1645, when seventeen barrels of pow- der and many arms belonging to the colony were lost. He was elected a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1638. He was granted three hundred acres of land by the general court as compensation for his services as surveyor-general. His wife Margery died in 1635. He married (second) Grace, widow of Barnabas Fawer. He died September 30, 1659.

He went to sea at an early age, and was in the privateer service during the greater part of the revolu- tion, although for a time he acted as deputy commissary for land forces. He was in six- teen actions at sea, and was taken prisoner seven times. For three months he was con- fined on the prison ship "Jersey." where the prisoners were so starved and ill treated that only a few survived. On one occasion John- son secured a light, made his way to the pow- der magazine and threatened to blow up the ship if the officers would not pledge him their honor to grant the prisoners relief. He car- ried his point. In seven different actions he formed one of a boarding party. In one of these engagements a heavy sea separated the ships when only a part of the American crew
had reached the British vessel; although out- numbered and cut off from reinforcements, Johnson and his companions carried the ship, which proved to be a transport loaded with provisions. He obtained command of a priva- teer, and, while cruising in the West Indies, encountered a British vessel and fought her until darkness and a high wind separated them. On mustering his crew he found there were but 47 men left alive out of 109. He was one of the defenders of New London when it was attacked by the British under Benedict Arnold, September 6, 1781, and nar- rowly escaped the massacre of Fort Griswold at Groton. While retreating from the place he was fired on and all of his companions were killed. He escaped with seven bullet holes through his clothing. He was several times shipwrecked. Once in the West Indies he lost his ship and all the crew save one. With this companion he traveled eighty miles bare- footed and almost naked under the burning sun before a human habitation was found. On another occasion he was dug out of a snowbank unconscious and nearly lifeless. After the revolution he abandoned the sea and settled in Wells, Vermont. From there he removed in 1794 to Utica, New York, and in 1795 to Cazenovia. Here he built a large house on the public square, which became the first tavern in the village. It was known as the Johnson House. About 1816 he removed to Chautauqua county, and later to Buffalo. Captain Johnson married, August 13, 1783, Deborah, daughter of Rev. Samuel and Sally (Oakman) Lathrop, of Wells, Vermont. De- spite the perils and vicissitudes of his life he lived to be eighty-one years old, dying Feb- ruary 8, 1841. His last words, reminiscent of his revolutionary adventures or prophetic, perhaps, of the new life that was opening to his vision were: "Bear down, boys, and pre- pare to board. Mrs. Johnson died in Buffalo in 1834. of cholera. Children: Elisha, born at Wells (Wells River?), Vermont, mentioned below: Ebenezer, mentioned below: Will- iam, born November 5, 1789; Lucy, born Au- gust 7, 1790; William, born August 6, 1792; Samuel, mentioned below : Lucy, born Febru- ary 7, 1797; Hiram, born August 13, 1798: Marlin, born July 27, 1800; Lathrop, born July 26, 1802; Caroline, born September 29, 1804; Amanda, born December 7. 1806: Palmester, born November 29, 1804.
(II) Ebenezer (2), son of Ebenezer (I)

NEW YORK.
and Deborah (Lathrop) Johnson, was born in Middlebury, Vermont, November 7, 1786. He studied medicine with Dr. Joseph White, of Cherry Valley, New York. At the age of twenty-three, having been admitted to prac- tice, he came to Buffalo bearing a letter of introduction from Hezekiah Granger to Eras- tus Granger, the superintendent of Indian af- fairs. He settled in Buffalo permanently in 1810. Dr. Cyrenium Chapin already was es- tablished as a physician and owned a drug store. Dr. Johnson applied to Joseph Elli- cott for the loan of sufficient capital to open an opposition drug store, arguing the advan- tage to the public of competition in medicines as well as medical advice. At the outbreak of the war he was appointed surgeon's mate in the Niagara county regiment commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Asa Chapman, brigade of Brigadier General Timothy S. Hopkins. He was promoted to surgeon in the Thirteenth regiment of infantry, Niagara county, Lieu- tenant Colonel Calvin Fillamore, commander, and to hospital surgeon in the Twenty-fourth division of infantry, Niagara county, Laur- ence J. Woodruff, inspector. He was absent on military duty when Buffalo was burned, but his house was destroyed with the others. Mrs. Johnson fled with her infant child to Williamsville. A family letter written at the time tells of hardships that followed. For three months Mrs. Johnson kept house with three knives and forks, one teacup, three cus- tard cups and five earthen plates, which was all she saved of her crockery. She saved her bed and bedding, but that was about all of her property that was not burned. She was obliged to sell her looking glass and some other articles in order to buy things to make her home habitable. After the war Dr. John- son gave up his practice and engaged in busi- ness with Judge Samuel Wilkeson. His first purchase of real estate was in 1814. Subse- quently he bought about twenty-five acres on Delaware avenue, extending from Chippewa to Tupper and west to the village line of Black Rock. Here he built for his home the stone cottage still standing on Johnson's Park, which until recently was a part of the Buffalo Seminary. His business activities were gradually extended with varying for- tunes. At one time he had a bank in partner- ship with Philander Hodge, under the firm name of Johnson, Hodge & Company. He was public-spirited and active in promoting
the welfare of the village. When it was or- ganized as a city in 1832 he became its first mayor. The duties of the office at that time were apt to be vigorous. On one occasion at least he was obliged personally to quell a riot with his own cane, and did it effectively. The most serious part of his work was the preparation for the cholera epedemic that was known to be coming and that appeared soon afterward. He was again elected mayor for the year 1834, the term of office being then one year. Toward the close of his life he bought in partnership with his brother Elisha, about 35,000 acres of land in eastern Tennessee, where an iron foundry was built at the village of Tellico Plains, about fifty- five miles southwest of Knoxville. Dr. John- son married (first) at Cherry Valley, New York, January 25, 1811, Sally Maria, daugh- ter of Jesse and Mary (Stevenson) Johnson, born 1783, whose descent is traced in the opening of this sketch; (second) Lucy E. Lord, December 7, 1835, of Millersville, New York. He died at Tellico Plains, December 23, 1849, aged sixty-two years. Mrs. Lucy (Lord) Johnson died November 30, 1850. Children by first wife: I. Mary, mentioned below. 2. William, mentioned below. 3 Sarah Maria, born February 22, 1821, in Buf- falo; married, January 22, 1842, Dr. Smith Inglehart; they settled in Cleveland, where Dr. Inglehart was a druggist, physician, farmer, merchant, and collector of the port under President Polk; he died February 14, 1871, aged fifty-five. Children of Smith and Sarah (Johnson) Inglehart : George Nelson, 1847, married Margaret Cuthbertson; Fred M., 1851, married Lizzie Stevens; Maria Smith, 1852, married James B. Gill; two daughters died in infancy. By second wife : 4. Cecilia, married Horace Utley. 5. Herbert Lord, mentioned below. 6. Sarah Louisa, died in childhood.
