The Johnes Family. Edward Johnes 1640
Edward Johnes, the first of this name in Southampton, came over from England in the fleet with Winthrop, 1631. He was constable in Charlestown, Mass., in 1641. In 1643 he came to this place, and land was granted him as recorded in Vol. I, printed records, p. 33, and his high social position may be known from the prefixes of Mr. and Gentleman attached to his name. His wife was Ann, daughter of Thomas Griggs, of Charlestown. The family mansion, built by him about 1650, is still standing, a venerable relic of the olden time.
Edward Johnes died 1659, and left a son Samuel, who died in 1693, his wife Sarah died 1692, leaving son Samuel, whose name as "Deacon Samuel Johnes " so frequently appears in our Records.
Sam Johny
He was a man of wealth and distinction, and held the posi- tion of Constable at a time when that office conferred some honor on its occupant. Samuel also left children Phebe, wife of Josiah Howell, and Ephraim, to whom land was allotted in 1699, died 1723.
405
RECORDS : TOWN OF SOUTHAMPTON.
Deacon Samuel married Ester, daughter of Capt. Tho. Stephens, who died Jan. 1S, 1753, and had children Samuel, who settled in Bridge-Hampton; Stephen, born 1700; Oba- diah, born 1715; Timothy, born 1717; William, born 1719 ; and Elisabeth. Deacon Samuel died in 1760. In 1753 he gave his homestead to his son William, excepting two acres on north side, given to his son Obadialı. William died 1780, and the old homestead was sold about 1800 by his heirs, who removed to the western part of the State. In a deed dated 1787, Obadiah is mentioned as of " Huntington, Long Island."
He was a prominent Whig, and was one of the Committee of safety 1776; like many other prominent citizens, he fled to Connecticut during the Revolution, and settled in Saybrook. His son Thomas, who died 1812, was the last of the name in this village ; his wife died in 1836.
Timothy, son of Dea. Samuel, was a graduate of Yale Col- lege, 1737, took holy orders and was settled at Morristown, N. J., where for a long time his church was the centre of Presbyterianism in that region. Brainerd speaks of him in the highest terms, and Washington received the Communion from his hands just before the battle of Brandywine. His piety was soon recognized by his Alma Mater by whom he was made a Doctor of Divinity.
Stephen Johnes married Sarah Fitz Randolph, daughter of one of the founders of Princeton College. There are descend- ants of this branch living in Charlestown and Hydestown, N. J., and also in Philadelphia.
We regret that our limits do not permit us to give a more detailed account of the various branches of this family so prom- inent in our town for respectibility and virtue. But we are pleased to learn that a complete history is now being prepared by Edward R. Johnes, Esq., a descendant of Rev. Dr. Timo- thy, and a talented and rising member of the New-York Bar.
