He was first stationed at Tocat, but in 1855 removed to Sivas, and in 1858 to Yozgat, going where the work and the mission families seemed most to demand the services of a physician. These necessities often called him to very arduous labors and much exposure. He was ordained an evangelist at Constantinople, May 28, 1857. Returned to America, 1860, on account of his health, and com- menced practice at Waltham, Mass. In the spring of 1862, with his family, he again set out for his missionary field, leaving Boston May 31, 1862, reaching Liverpool June 12th, where he died suddenly, June 18, 1862.

carried on the mercantile business. He owned several farms and much other land, was very precise and methodical in business matters, wrote a clear and elegant hand, and was an excellent accountant. He was postmaster from 1800 to 1812 and town clerk in 1837 and 1838, and from 1840 to 1856. He accumulated what was in his time considered a good property and gathered a valuable library. His acquaintance was very large and his correspondence extensive. His minute information upon a great variety of subjects made his society valued by men of very different tastes. He did much for the cause of education in Newbury, and several times became responsible for the financial support of select schools. In politics he was a Federalist, then a Whig, and later a Republican. He was a regular attendant at the First church, of which he was a liberal supporter. Of his Meteorological Journal, use is made elsewhere in this volume. More is due to David Johnson than to any other man for the preservation of the early annals of the town. He copied and arranged his father's correspondence, and at considerable expense obtained copies of valuable papers at Albany and Washington. It was at his instigation and by his assistance that Rev. Clark Perry prepared his historical discourse in 1831, and he furnished much of the material used by Rev. Grant Powers in his "Historical Sketches of the Coös Country," but was very much displeased with the manner in which Mr. Powers suppressed mention of all the prominent men at Coos who had opposed the course taken by Rev. Peter Powers during the last years of the Revolutionary war. The editor of this volume returns thanks in behalf of himself and the readers of this history to the present custodians of the Johnson papers for the free and unlimited use which he has been allowed to make of them. He lived in the house, built in 1807, now the residence of his grand- daughter, Mrs. Wheeler. He m. 1st, May 25, 1812, Lucy, dau. of John Town of Boxford, Mass., (b. Oct. 31, 1785; d.

He first came to Haverhill as preceptor of the academy, but returned to Hanover to study law. After being admitted to the bar he opened an office in Haverhill and continued in practice until his death. He was known as Squire Sloan; his practice was extensive; he was well-known throughout the state; was a trustee of the academy and held many offices and positions of trust. "He was," says Mr. Livermore, "genial, social, and a very good story teller." He lived in the house on the east side of the common, at the Corner, in which his daughter now resides, which was built more than a century ago, by Alden Sprague, a noted lawyer in his time. Hannah had attended school at Bradford (Mass.) Academy, going and returning all the distance on horseback. She was a very beautiful young lady, with a fine figure, and the charm of her character and disposition brought her a wide circle of friends, and she was one of the leading spirits in the church and society of Haverhill Corner, in her day. He d. in Haverhill, N. H., June 7, 1860. She d. May 30, 1881.
