Robinson calls him "the third settler within the domain of Richford," and says: "He moved into the house vacated by Mr. Evan Harris in 1814. He remained on the lands he first purchased during sixteen years, and then migrated west. Mr. Johnson's home was the home of tramping missionary and circuit preachers. These Christian devotees were ever kindly welcomed by the new settler and his family, and as Mr. Johnson was not a professor or church member, those callers used to call their host ' Brother-in-law Johnson,' and sometimes ' The good sinner.'" Other people, who had the advantage of knowing him personally, say that he was a very worthy, zealous and consistent member of the Methodist church. He dwelt where Mr. Hotch- kiss S. Finch now lives, on the west side of the way. They had children :

Notes to Census Table .- In December, 1820, the Hon. Chester Patterson, of Union, N. Y., who was then enumerating the inhabi- tants of Broome county, passed through the town of Berkshire, which then included the town of Richford. His list shows, forty- five householders within that part of the town which is now included in Richford, only six of whom then lived east of the valley of the East Owego creek. The following is his list of names, with such notes as have been gathered in relation to them, and it is believed to be substantially correct, though not so full as could be wished. The names in this list preceded by a star, have already been mentioned ; the others are referred to in the following notes, by corresponding numbers. It may be well to add, also, that there were no unnaturalized foreigners in the town, only three blacks, and no one engaged in commerce. The enumeration makes the total population 263.

Y., 25 Jan., 1801, daughter of John and Rebecca (Chamberlain) Rounseville. In Dec., 1820, when the census was taken they had only one daughter. They have since had another daughter and two sons. They afterward moved. to Caroline, and he died at Slaterville, N. Y., in October, 1886. she was living in June, 1887, with her daughter, Mrs. Harrison Banfield, on Snyder Hill, near Varna, N, Y. It is said that Mrs Krum was the first white child born in the town of Caroline, N. Y.
