Notes for John Johnson
JOHN 7
John 7, son of Robert and Abigail (Peaslee) Johnson. m. Phebe Kimball 7, daughter of Thomas Kimball 6 and Olive (Lovejoy) Kimball, of Pembroke. John drowned in the canal at Manchester 9 May 1850 (ref. Weare, p. 637). Phebe d. 19 April 1858. Olive d. 28 Jan 1842. [Lovejoy, p. 73]
Typed (legible) version of entries in History of Weare, New Hampshire in reference to John Johnson, husband of Phebe Kimball Johnson and father of Robert Bruce Johnson — son-in-law of Thomas Kimball. John Johnson is listed as a trader in East Weare in the year 1818. p. 627
A reference on page 552 says:
"John Johnson made cloth by hand in the time of the 1812 war. He employed many hands. He took a load of cloth to Portsmouth. As he was driving along, a custom-house officer followed him. Mr. Johnson, having a fleet horse, led him a long race, then let him come up, when he found that the cloth was all American manufacture and that he had raced for nothing."
It is at the 7th generation — with the marriage of John Johnson 7 and Phebe Kimball 7 that the Kimball and Johnson families come together.
Children of John Johnson and Phebe Kimball:
i. William Wallace Johnson*, b. 6 Sept 1818 +
