Barre on the charge of treason, some of whom were sent to the jail in Northumberland and others in Sunbury.

Jehoiada in his time was an active business man. He removed from Wilkes-Barre to Laurel Run (now Parsons) about 1810, and erected there in that year a gristmill, which he owned and operated successfully many years. He also was interested in the business life of the township, especially in educational matters, and was, withal, one of the best citizens. He was one of the poormasters in 1799, the only office he ever held. His wife was Hannah, daughter of Robert Frazer, of Scottish birth and ances- try, and said to have been related to the unfor- tunate Sir Simon Frazer, the Scottish chieftain known in history as Lord Lovat. Robert, father of Hannalı, served with the British against the French in the wars preceding the revolution, and fought as a sergeant under Wolfe at Quebec, where he was wounded. Later on he came with Connecticut settlers to Wyoming, where he shared their fortunes, and taught the youth of the infant settlement. In 1777 he enlisted in Col. Obadiah Gore's regiment for service during the Revolution. He died in 1790, and his widow, August 23, 1855.

Children of Jehoiada Pitt and Hannah : Ovid Frazer (7), born March 25, 1807, died February 12, 1853; Mary Giddings, born November 3, 1809, died November 12, 1880; Jehoiada, born January 20, 1812, died December 31, 1871 ; Will- iam P., born March 14, 1814, died January 26,' 1893 ; Miles, born March 16, 1816, died October 6, 1889 ; Priestley R., born December 20, 1819, died July 5, 1878; Wesley, born December 20, 1819, died October 27, 1892; Sarah A., born March 18, 1824; Diantha, born September 22, 1826, died November 4, 1874. There were two other children: Zipporah, died September 18, 1806, aged twenty months, and Christiana, born about 1817, died in infancy.

Ovid Frazer Johnson (7), eldest son of Je- hoiada (6) and Hannah, was admitted to the bar of Luzerne county, April 6, 1831, and associated in practice with Hendrick B. Wright. Two years later he removed to Harrisburg, where he soon

took a leading position both as lawyer and politi- cal writer. His series of articles called "Gov- ernor's Papers," purporting to come from Gov- ernor Ritner and his political cabinet, had the effect to bring the administration into ridicule, disrupt the old Whig party in the state, and ac- complish the election of Porter as governor ; and the latter, in recognition of this great service in his behalf, appointed Mr. Johnson attorney gen- eral of the commonwealth when he was only thir- ty-two years old. He served from 1839 to 1845, and became a conspicuous figure in Pennsylvania political history, with a reputation which was al- most national. Mr. Johnson married, July 28, 1835, Jane Alricks, daughter of James Alricks of Oakland Mills, Juniata county, and afterward lived in Harrisburg.

Mary Giddings Johnson (7), daughter of Je- hoiada (6) and Hannah, married Charles Reel, and had children : Miles, Helen Marr, Diantha, Frances (Dolly), and Benjamin F., all of Wilkes-Barre. Both sons served in the war of 1861-65.

Jehoiada Johnson (7) died at the old home- stead in Wilkes-Barre township, December 31, 1871. In 1834 he enlisted in the United States army in Company I, First Regular Dragoons, and served five years during the Seminole and Texas 'wars. He married Priscilla Scovel, and had chil- dren : Harriet Scovel, Emily Wright (married Judson Wheeler and had two children), and Thomas M. Johnson, all of Parsons (old Laurel Run), Pennsylvania.

William Perry Johnson (7), who died in Dal- las, Pennsylvania. January 26, 1893, was a prom- inent member of the community in which he lived, and a worthy representative of his distin- guished ancestry. He was a farmer, school di- rector, and justice of the peace in the days when the title "Squire" stood for intelligence and per- sonal influence. He married Eliza Roderick, and had children : Wesley, Jane ( wife of Emanuel Sinclair), George Frazer, Robert H .. and Sarah (wife of Clayton J. Ryman).

Miles Johnson (7) was at first a cabinet maker, afterward a sailor on a whaling vessel, and finally cast his fortunes with the people of the

great west: He died in California in 1889. His wife was Philomela Burlingame, of Wisconsin, who bore him eleven children.

Priestley R. Johnson (7) was reared on the ancestral farm where he and his twin brother, Wesley were born. As one of the copartnership comprising George Knapp, Gould P. Parrish and himself, he established the first extensive manu- factory of power kegs by machinery in the Wy- oming region. He also was for several years en- gaged in mercantile pursuits in Wilkes-Barre, and at one time was street commissioner. Hen- drick B. Wright wrote of him that he was "a man of large heart, of sound and mature judg- ment." Being thoroughly imbued with correct. principles of right and wrong, he was never known to swerve from the path of duty as a citi- zen in a public or private capacity." He mar- ried Sarah, daughter of Simon Monega, a soldier who followed the fortunes of the great Napoleon on nearly all the bloody fields of Europe during that warlike period. The children of Priestley and Sarah were : Henry Frazer, Franklin Pierce,. Hannah and Mary Johnson.

Wesley Johnson (7) twin brother of Priest- ley, was educated in Wilkes-Barre Academy, studied law under the instruction of his older brother Ovid, came to the bar in Philadelphia in 1846, and soon afterward in Luzerne county. He went to Texas and began legal practice in Gal- veston, and during the war with Mexico crossed over into the Spanish domain and was a witness to many of the events. About 1850 he was at- tracted by the westward tide of emigration, and. soon found himself settled in Marquette county,. Wisconsin, where he was elected clerk of courts. In 1852 he married, and in the next year returned with his wife and infant son to Wilkes-Barre, where he engaged in mercantile pursuits, the practice of law and the turmoil of legal contests being wholly distasteful to him. He possessed the essential qualities of a successful lawyer, had- an excellent understanding of its principles and theories, in fact a well equipped legal mind, but he was pre-eminently a man of peace. After his retirement from active business life in 1874 he was for several years alderman of the Fourth:

ward, and he also held several positions of trust -city auditor, judge of elections, etc. He was one of the projectors and guiding spirits of the Wyoming Centennial in 1878, and was secretary of the Commemorative Association from its in- ception to the day of his death, and his compila- tion, the memorial volume, is one of the standard works of local history in Wyoming annals.

Mr. Johnson was twice married, first with Cynthia Henrietta Green, born Vermont, May 13, 1827, died Wilkes-Barre, August 30, 1855, daughter of David Sands Green and his wife Mary Tuttle ; and second, Frances Wilson, died April 21, 1888, widow of Frederick McAlpine. Two children were born of his first marriage : Frederick Charles, of Wilkes-Barre, and Zebulon Butler, born February 3, 1855, died 1855. By the second marriage one child was born: Mar- garet Colt, born July 7. 1857, died November 30, 1860.

Sarah Ann Johnson (7) Jehoiada (6), mar- ried Henry Colt Wilson, born Wilkes-Barre, Sep- tember 18, 1818, died Mt. Vernon, Ohio, Febru- ary 13, 1892, a prosperous farmer. His widow died at Columbus, Ohio, April 20, 1903. They had four children, the eldest of whom, Edwin Frazer Wilson, A. B., A. M. M. D., a graduate of the medical department University of Pennsylvania, was professor of therapeutics, electro-therapeu- tics and clinical medicine in Ohio Medical Uni- versity ; physician to the Protestant Hospital, and Hawkes Hospital ; fellow of American Academy of Medicine ; member of American Medical As- sociation, Ohio State Medical Society, and Co- lumbus Academy of Medicine. He died in 1902.

Frederick Charles Johnson (8), Wesley, (7), Jehoiada (6), Rev. Jacob (5), Jacob (4), William (3), Thomas (2), Thomas (I), is a na- tive of Marquette, Green Lake county, Wiscon- sin, born March 2, 1853, eldest and only surviv- ing son of Wesley Johnson and his wife Cynthia Henrietta Green. His elementary education was acquired in the public schools of Wilkes-Barre, after which he returned to Wisconsin and took a partial course in Ripon College with the class of 1873. Beginning in 1871 he had a business training of about ten years in Wilkes-Barre,

meanwhile contributing to local newspapers and doing special correspondence from the coal re- gions for the Chicago Tribune. He also spent a year in Chicago as a reporter on the Tribune staff, and is still on the list of its correspon- dents. He then took a three years' course in the medical department of the University of Penn- sylvania, and took his doctor's degree in 1883 ; but, instead of engaging in the practice of medi- cine, he took up journalism, purchasing a half interest in the Wilkes-Barre Record, with which he is still connected. He is a member of the Wilkes-Barre Board of Trade, the New Eng- land Society, the Westmoreland Club, the Wy- oming Historical and Geological Society, the Young Men's Christian Association, the Luzerne County Medical Society, the Pennsylvania State Medical Society, the American Medical Asso- ciation, the Society for Prevention of Tubercu- losis, the Wyoming Commemorative Association, the Pennsylvania Forestry Association, the State and National Editorial Associations ; the Masonic fraternity, Sons of the Revolution, etc. For sev- eral years he was one of the committee appointed by the state board of public charities to inspect the public institutions of Luzerne county, and in 190I was appointed by the court one of the jail commissioners. Dr. Johnson married June 25, 1885, Georgia, daughter of Joseph H. and Har- riet (Green) Post, at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. They have three children-Ruth, Frederick and Mar- garet Johnson. H. E. H.

HODGE FAMILY. Towards the close of the seventeenth century, during the reign of William of Orange in England, William Hodge, of Scotch-Irish descent, lived in the north of Ireland. He died January 4, 1723, and his wife, Margaret, died October 15, 1730. Their three surviving sons, William, Andrew, and Hugh Hodge came to Philadelphia. 1731.

William Hodge, born 1704, died Philadelphia, 1784, married September 1, 1732, Mary McCul- loch, widow. They had Mary, who married David Hayfield Conyngham, of Wilkes-Barre. (See Conyngham family.)

brothers, married Hannah -. They had one child, a son bearing his own name, who gradti- ated at the College of New Jersey, Princeton, in 1773, and took his master's degree in course. He soon afterward sailed for Europe, but the ship in which he took passage was never heard of after leaving port. At the death of his parents their estate went by Hugh Hodge's will to the College of New Jersey.

Andrew Hodge, second in age of the im- migrant brothers, was born in Ireland, March 28, 17II, and became not only a successful mer- chant in Philadelphia, but also founder of one of the most distinguished families in that city and in the state, numbering among its members in the generations succeeding men of eminence in the professions and in the varied avocations of business life. He was active and influential in all the affairs of the church and of the com- munity, being one of the founders of the Second Church, and a member of the board of trustees until the day of his death. In 1739 he married Jane Mccullough, and had many children, eight of whom died in infancy or early life. Their eldest daughter, Margaret, married Colonel John R. Bayard, of Bohemia Manor, and the next eldest, Agnes, married James Ashton Bayard, M. D., and had Senator James A. Bayard, father of Senator James A. Bayard and grandfather of Senator William G. Bayard. The sons were Dr. John Hodge, Captain William Hodge, Captain Andrew Hodge, Hugh Hodge, and James Hodge. The other children were Jane, who married B. Phillips, of England, and Mary, who married Mr. Hodgson.

Hugh Hodge, the eighth child of Andrew Hodge and Jane Mccullough, born in Phila- delphia, August 20, 1755, died July 14, 1791. He graduated at Princeton College, A. B., 1773, and began the study of medicine with Dr. Cad- wallader, of Philadelphia. He was appointed February 4, 1776, surgeon of the third battalion of Pennsylvania troops, and was captured by the British at Fort Washington, New York, but through the intercession of General Washington was released on parole. He then entered mer- cantile pursuits with his brother Andrew, but

soon returned to the practice of medicine, and had an important part in endeavoring to stay the progress of the yellow fever epidemic which ravaged Philadelphia in 1793 and again in 1795. He himself escaped attack by the disease, but his exertions in behalf of others drained his strength and produced troubles which ultimately resulted in his death, July 14, 1798.

Dr. Hugh Hodge married, 1790, Mary Blanchard, of Boston, born 1765, daughter of Joseph Blanchard, of Boston, Massachusetts. Two sons, Hugh Lenox Hodge and Charles Hodge, were left in early infancy to a widowed mother with slender means of support. This in- telligent and gifted woman, was, however, equal to the emergency, and by untiring energy she not only contributed to the necessities of her chil- dren, but secured for them a good classical edu- cation, and they completed a full course of in- struction in the College of New Jersey at Prince- ton. Dr. Hugh and Mary (Blanchard) Hodge had : Elizabeth, born 1791, died 1793 ; Mary, born 1792, died 1795: Hugh, born 1794, died 1795; Hugh Lenox, born June 27, 1796; and Charles Hodge, born December 27, 1797.

Rev. Charles Hodge, D. D., S. T. D., LL. D., fifth child of Dr. Hugh and Mary (Blanchard) Hodge, began his studies in the Classical Acad- emy at Somerville, New Jersey, in 1810; entered the sophomore class, College of New Jersey, '1812 ; graduated A. B. 1815, A. M. 1818; began theological study in Princeton, New Jersey, 1816; licensed to preach, 1819; appointed professor of Hebrew in Princeton Theological Seminary, 1820; visited Europe, 1826, for two years course of study in Paris, Havre and Berlin. He received the honorary degree of S. T. D., from Rutgers College, 1834, and LL. D., from Washington College, Pennsylvania, 1864. Before he went to Europe, at the instigation and with the support of his colleagues and with the patronage of other professors and the clergy of Princeton, he un- dertook the publication of the "Biblical Reper- tory," a quarterly religious periodical devoted chiefly to notices and reviews of books, now the "Presbyterian Quarterly and Princeton Review." It was conducted almost solely by Dr. Hodge for

half a century or more. After his return from Europe Dr. Hodge resumed the duties of his pro- fessorship with renewed earnestness. and was long identified with the best and most interest- ing history of the institution. In 1862, on the occasion of the fiftieth aniversary of the semi- nary, he delivered an address. Ten years later (1872), a jubilee was held at Princeton to con- memorate the fiftieth anniversary of Dr. Hodge's professorship, and on this occasion the graduates endowed the "Charles Hodge Professorship" with $50,000, and presented Dr. Hodge with $15,000. He was one of the most eminent men in the Christian Church in America, and doubt- less has influenced more minds than any other man in the study of theology by his writings. He was the author of "Princeton Theological Es- says," two volumes, 1846; "Essays and Reviews,' 1857: "Commentary on the Epistle to the Ro- mans." 1835: "Constitutional History of the Presbyterian Church in the United States," two volumes, 1840; "The Way of Life," 1842; "Com- mentaries on Ephesians," 1856; "First Corin- thians," 1860: "Second Corinthians," 1860; "What is Darwinism," 1874; and his great work, "Systematic Theology," three volumes of over two thousand pages, 1871-72. He was for years professor of Didactic and Exegetical Theology and also Polemic Theology in the Princeton Theological Seminary from 1852 until his death, and moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, 1846.

In his domestic life Dr. Hodge was greatly favored. He married, June 17, 1822. Sarah Bache, daughter of Dr. William Bache, whose mother was a daughter of Benjamin Franklin. Dr. William Bache's wife was Catharine Wistar. sister of Dr. Casper Wistar. at one time profes- sor of anatomy in the University of Pennsyl- vania. The children of Rev. Dr. Charles and Sarah (Bache) Hodge were:
