Upon the death of Mrs. Johnson nearly eight years later her remains were interred by the side of those of her husband. As years passed these secluded and solitary graves were neglected, yet were not entirely forgotten. The spot was well known, although not marked by any monument or the presence of other graves. Col. W. I, Stone (see page 19, Vol. I), writing in 1839 of the eminence upon which these graves were situated, said (see "History of Wyoming," page 327): "From its crest the landscape is as beautiful as fancy can paint. Upon the summit of this hill sleep the remains of the Rev. Mr. Johnson, the first clergyman of Wyoming. He was a good scholar and a man of talents-greatly beloved by the flock over which he watched for many years. He was, however, an eccentric man, entertaining some peculiar views in theology. He believed in the second coming and personal reign of Christ upon earth, and insisted upon being buried here, facing the east, so that he could see the glorious pageant of the Messiah in His second descent." Some thirty-five years ago the remains of Jacob Johnson and his wife were removed from "Westfield's Hill," and now rest in Hollenback Cemetery underneath a substantial and attractive monument.
(Further mention of the Rev. Jacob Johnson is made in subsequent pages-especially in Chapter XXX.) The Rev. Jacob and Mary (Giddings) Johnson were the parents of nine children, only four of whom grew to maturity, viz .. (i) Lydia, born in 1756; became the wife of Colonel Zebulon Butler-q. v .; died June 26, 1781. (ii) Jacob Williamson. (iii) Jehoiada Pitt. (iv) Christiana Olive. The last-namned was born in 1769 at Groton, Connecticut. She was married at Wilkes-Barre, March 25, 1801, by Dr. Matthew Covell, a Justice of the Peace, to William Russell, Jr. (born February 15, 1774), son of William and Mehet- abel (Cowen) Russell. For a number of years William Russell, Jr., owned and carried on a pottery on River Street below Union, on a part of Lot No. 9, previously mentioned. He died in Wilkes-Barre June 27, 1830, and his wife died here January 15, 1831, aged sixy-two years. They had no children.
(ii) Jacob Williamson Johnson was born at Groton about 1765. We have noted on page 452, Vol. I, that the Rev. Jacob Johnson sometimes, about the year 1768, signed his name "Jacob Ws. Johnson " It is quite probable that his full name was Jacob Williamson Johnson, and that within a few years after nam- ing his son Jacob Williamson he discarded the "Williamson" from hisown name. Jacob Williamson John- son, Jr., was married, presumably at Wilkes-Barre, about 1790 or '91, to Anna Bailey. He died at his home, corner of Union and Main Streets, May 22, 1807, and his wife died there September 2, 1807. They were survived by two daughters: (1) Mary Bailey, who became the wife (Ist) of Albon Bulford, and (2d) of Phineas Nash Foster (horn at Montpelier, Vermont, in 1796). (2) Lydia, who in 1822 was married at Groton, Connecticut, to A. Smith of Aurelius New York.
(iii) Jehoiada Pitt Johnson was born at Groton in 1767, and was about six years old when he came to Wilkes-Barré with the other members of his father's family. In 1789, at the age of twenty-two years, he was "Collector of Rates" for the district of Wilkes-Barre. In 1799 he was one of the poormasters of the town, and prior to 1801 he held the office of Town Clerk of Wilkes-Barre for a year or more. In 1802, '03 and '04, and probably in other years about that period, he was Collector of State and County Taxes in the district of Wilkes-Barré. I11 1802, and perhaps later, he was engaged in a small way in general mercantile business in Wilkes-Barre. In June of the year mentioned he advertised for sale an "assortment of crockery-ware"-perhaps the output of his brother-in-law's pottery. About 1810 or '11 Jehoiada P. John- son removed from his house at the north-east corner of Union and River Streets (which had been con- veyed to him by his father, and where he had continued to live after the latter's death ) to Public Lot No. 1, which, also, had been conveyed to him by his father, in April, 1796. Upon that lot, by the side of Laurel Run, within the present bounds of the borough of Parsons, he built in 1817 a small grist-mill, which he operated until 1825-one Holgate being the miller. Later it was leased to and operated by other persons, as explained in a subsequent chapter.
Jehoiada P. Johnson was married January 19, 1804, by Lawrence Myers, Esq., a Justice of the Peace, to Hannah (born 1782), daughter of Robert and Sarah Frazer.
Robert Frazer, or Frazier, was admitted a proprietor in Wilkes-Barré early in 1772, and was one of those to whom the lands of the town were distributed in April of that year. (See page 727.) Lot No. 10 in the town-plot, which fell to his share at that time, had been allotted in 1771 to John Frazier (see page 713), who, it is believed, was in some way related to Robert. June 25. 1770, Robert Frazer had entered into an agreement with one Thomas Hill to settle in his behalf on "a proprietor's right in Wyoming." Late in 1772 or early in 1773 Robert Frazer sold out his proprietary interest in Wilkes-Barré to George Bissell, Sr., and shortly thereafter located on a tract of land "pitched" on the west side of the Susque- hanna, near the township of Plymouth, in satisfaction of Thomas Hill's "right." January 11, 1775, Zebu- lon Butler, a member of the committee appointed by The Susquehanna Company tocollect taxes, received four and a-half dollars from Robert Frazer "on the right of Thomas Hill, Esq."" In 1787, before the Con- firming Commissioners, Obadiah Gore, Esq., testified under oath "that Robert Frazer, abovenamed, was in possession of and dwelt upon the tract of land above claimed about the year 1773, and continued there- on till the year 1777, when he enlisted under the deponent in the late war." (See page 70 of the original minutes of the Confirming Commissioners, referred to on page 29, ante ) At Wilkes-Barre, May 30, 1788, Col. Timothy Pickering wrote to his former business partner Samuel Hodgdon, in Philadelphia, as follows : "Mr. Frazier, who will deliver you this, belongs liere. He is a tall, straight Scotsman, an old

During the Summer and early Autumn of 1772 the number of set- tlers at Wyoming was largely increased by alinost daily arrivals of men, women and children from New England. The affairs of the settlement still continued to be managed by the Committee of Settlers appointed by The Susquehanna Company ; but, naturally, it was impossible that the Committee could please everybody in the performance of its duties, and some of the Committee's acts gave very serious offense to certain of the proprietors of Hanover Township. Complaints were made to the officials and leading men of The Susquehanna Company in Connecticut, and for a time there was a good deal of feeling manifested by the parties to the dissension. The trouble began in the Summer of 1771 (see page 716), and Capt. Lazarus Stewart, who was no longer a member of the Com- mittee of Settlers, was so active and outspoken in his opposition to many of its acts that he incurred the enmity of the individual who had succeeded him as a member of the Committee-a certain E. P., an elderly gentleman from Connecticut, who then held one of the import- ant offices in the settlement.
One day in the Summer of 1772, during this condition of affairs, a half-drunken "tramp" Indian, who was known to have been a hanger-on
soldier. and I believe an honest man, who might be intrusted with such a sum [of money, which Colonel Pickering desired to have sent to him], if in gold ; for as he is on foot silver would be inconvenient." (See the "Pickering Papers"-L,VIII : 22-referred to on page 29, ante.) Robert Frazer died in or near Plymouth Township in 1790, being survived by his wife.
Jehoiada P. Johnson died at his home at Laurel Run in Wilkes-Barre Township January 8, 1830, and his wife died August 23, 1855. They were the parents of the following-named children, all born in Wilkes- Barré : (i) Zipporah, born in January, 1805; died September 18, 1806. (ii) Ovid Frazer, born March 25, 1807 ; died February 10, 1854. (iii) Mary Giddings, born November 3, 1809; married to Charles Reel of Wilkes-Barre ; died November 12, 1880. (iv) Jehoiada, born January 20, 1812; married to Priscilla Scovel ; died at Laurel Run December 31, 1871. (v) William Pitt, born March 14, 1814; married to Eliza Roder- ick ; died at Dallas, Pennsylvania, January 26, 1893. (vi) Miles, born March 16, 1816; married in 1847 to Philomena Burlingame of Wisconsin ; died at Lathrop, California, October 6, 1889. (vii) Christiana, born about 1817 ; died in infancy (viii) Priestley R , born December 20, 1819 ; married to Sarah Monega ; died at Wilkes-Barre, July 5, 1878. (ix) Wesley, born December 20, 1819; died October 27, 1892. (x) Sarah Ann, born March 18, 1824 ; married to Henry Colt Wilson of Wilkes-Barre ; died at Columbus, Ohio, April 20, 1903. (xi) Diantha, born September 22, 1826; died November 4, 1874, unmarried.
(ii) Ovid Frazer Johnson was admitted to the Bar of Luzerne County April 6, 1831, and two years later-having in the meantime practised his profession at Wilkes-Barre-he located at Harrisburg, Penn- sylvania. "where he soon took a leading position, both as a lawyer and as a political writer." Upon the inauguration of David R. Porter as Governor of Pennsylvania in January, 1839, he appointed Ovid F. Johnson (then in the thirty-second year of his life) Attorney General of the Commonwealth. He was the youngest man ever appointed to this office. In The Republican Farmer and Democratic Journal ( Wilkes-Barre) of January 23, 1839, the following editorial from the pen of Samuel P. Collings was printed : "The appointment [of Ovid F. Johnson] is a compliment to Luzerne that we had not anticipated, and which is consequently the more gratifying. An abler man could scarcely have been found for the station in the State. Mr. Johnson is a self-made man, still young in years, and his appointment is another glorious commentary upon the happy influence of our institutions in developing and distinguishing great talents, however ohscure the source of their origin." Upon Governor Porter's re-election to office he re- appointed Mr. Johnson Attorney General, and the latter served in the office until January, 1845 Ovid F. Johnson was married at Harrisburg July 28, 1835, to Jane (born in January, 1813), daughter of James and Martha ( Hamilton) Alricks. Mr. Johnson died at Washington, D. C., February 10, 1854, and was sur- vived by his wife, three daughters and one son. Mrs. Jane ( Alricks) Johnson died at Harrisburg, Decem- ber 21, 1901.
(ix) Wesley Johnson was born with his twin brother, Priestley R., on the Johnson estate at Laurel Run December 20, 1819. He was educated at the Wilkes-Barre Academy. In 1811 he entered the office of his brother, Ovid F., as a student of law, and in 1845 was admitted to the Bar of Philadelphia. In April, 1846. he was admitted to the Bar of Luzerne County. Shortly afterwards he removed to Texas and prac- tised law at Galveston for awhile. In 1849 he settled at Marquette, Wisconsin, where he was elected Clerk of the Circuit and County Courts. In 1853 he returned to Wilkes-Barre, where he spent his remain- ing years. For a number of years preceding his death he filled, by election, the office of Alderman of the Fourth Ward of Wilkes-Barre February 24, 1873, he became a member of Lodge No 61, F. and A. M. Wesley Johnson was a man of quiet and unassuming manners, and of a gentle and kindly disposition, and was steadfast and loyal in his friendships. "Possessed of an inquiring and analytical mind and a retentive memory he had a large fund of information on a range of subjects. His powers of observation were good. and he had a literary taste that enabled him to write the most graceful articles descriptive of travel or other matters which interested him. All the local papers printed articles from his pen."
Wesley Johnson was married (Ist) at Marquette, Wisconsin, May 12, 1852, to Cynthia Henrietta (horn in Vermont March 13, 1827), daughter of David Sands and Mary ( Tuttle) Green. Mrs. Cynthia H. (Green) Johnson died at Wilkes-Barre August 30, 1855, and the next year Wesley Johnson was married (2d) to Frances H. (born at Wilkes-Barre in 1815), daughter of Seth and Rebecca ( Yarington) Wilson and widow of Frederick McAlpine of Wilkes-Barre. She died April 21, 1888. at Wilkes-Barre. Wesley Johnson died at his residence on West Union Street, Wilkes-Barre, October 27, 1892, and was buried in Hollenhack Cemetery with the honors of Free Masonry. He was survived by his son -the only child of his first wife who grew to maturity-Dr. Frederick Charles Johnson, whose name is frequently mentioned in these pages. He was born at Marquette, Wisconsin, March 2, 1853, and was educated at Ripon College, Wiscon- sin, and the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania-being graduated at the latter insti- tution with the degree of M D. in 1883. For the greater part of the time since then he has been engaged in journalism, and is now, and for some time has been, the principal owner of the Wilkes-Barre Record. He is married and has three children,

of Capt. Amos Ogden when the latter was in Wyoming, made his ap- pearance in Wilkes-Barré. A friend of Captain Stewart accidentally learned that the Indian was the bearer of a written message from Cap- tain Ogden to E. P. This, in itself, seemed suspicious, and the curiosity of Captain Stewart's friend being aroused he managed, by some hocus- pocus, to possess himself of the letter. It was in the handwriting of Captain Ogden, but was so worded and written as to make it appear as the composition of an illiterate man-which Captain Ogden was not. The letter was as follows :
"SIR .- I received your Letters concerning them fellows but we was one Day too late or we should took them very handy. They left Larner's* just before. Pray give us notis when Billt goes ; there is fifty pound more bid for him, and if you shall be out of the way let Peregreen send an Indian and I will pay him well for his trouble. Pray be as Private as Death, for they will not let you know nothing if they once get the Least hint. I think if we could get Lazst or Bill you will get shut of the rest very handy. Be- sides seven or eight Hundred Pounds would be a pretty show these hard times. If you could gitt some of the Gentry out as far as Lackewanner I will, when them people comes there, be there on the sd Time where the old orchard§ [is]-and let the Lads fetch him or more of them, if possible, and I [will] soon shew [them] Irish beef sells well among us ; these from your Sincere Friend and very Humble servant-you know whoo- [Signed] "JOH SA-"
"P. S. I saw Lyons. || When he comes up let him bring hog-back Lazrus to me, or more-as we shall be fixt handy close."
This letter was placed in the hands of Capt. Zebulon Butler, and when he went to Connecticut shortly afterwards he carried it with him and turned it over to the Standing Committee of The Susquehanna Company, accompanying it with an account of the circumstances under which it had been obtained, and with other information bearing on the case. Very soon thereafter Mr. E. P., at Wyoming, received from the Committee a communication reading as followsT :
"Windham Septx 14th 1772.
"SIR : We have received intelligence several ways (and which we fear is too well founded ) that you have been laying a plan to deliver Lazarus and William Stewart upon the Proclamation against them, of which they have been advised, and which must expose you in the highest degree to their resentment, and may possibly endanger your person. "We are extremely sorry to hear you have given the least encouragement to an
attempt of that kind, as they (the Stewarts) have placed their confidence in ye Susque- hannah Company & risqued their lives in what they have done for them. It would be un- generous to the last degree to deliver them up to the resentment of our adversaries, how- ever they may have conducted themselves in some particular instances. Captain Butler is sincerely concerned for the event, and has informed us of nothing but what we think he was obliged to do for your security, as well as the interest of ye Company.
"You cannot but be sensible how much the Company must be exposed by any un- happy variance among the settlers there, and therefore we must advise you to come down and see your friends here for a few months, while matters may be settled on a more sure footing, and the present jealousies of the Stewarts may subside. You know how far you have acted in the affair, and we cannot doubt of the intelligence we have received-and of which Captain Butler can acquaint you. We should be very glad if you will come down here and convince us to the contrary, as we fear the consequences may be bad. If you do not, [we] hope Prudence will direct you-and are your real friends, &c. [Signed] "ELIPHT DYER,

In response to this letter Mr. E. P. went down to Connecticut early in October to see his friends, and remained there some time. Captain Stewart having learned of the plot against him, left Wyoming, by the

advice of his friends, in company with his cousin Lazarus Stewart, Jr., and they did not return until the middle of October; by which time the jealousies and animosities that had been rife were in a state of subsidence.
At a meeting of the Susquehanna Purchase proprietors held at Wilkes-Barré September 26, 1772, it was resolved to send Obadiah Gore, Jr., as "the agent of the Company," to the General Assembly of Con- necticut at its session in New Haven beginning the second Thursday of October, to present a memorial which, it was arranged, should be pre- pared forthwith.

The following minutes are to be found on page 1,047 of "The Town Book of Wilkes Barre," previously mentioned :

The inemorial ordered to be prepared at the town-meeting held September 26th was drawn up on October 3d. The original is now pre- served in the State Library at Hartford, Connecticut, having been taken by Obadiah Gore, Jr., from Wilkes-Barré to New Haven and duly pre- sented to the General Assembly. (See the opposite page.) The body of the document is in the handwriting of Obadiah Gore, Jr .; the signatures of Zebulon Butler, Ezekiel Peirce, Stephen Fuller, Obadiah Gore, Jr., and William Gallup were written by those men respectively, while the re- maining signatures were written, some by Obadiah Gore, Jr., and others by Ezekiel Peirce. The document reads as follows :
