Notes for JAMES JOHNSON:
"Biographical & Genealogical History of the Chapman Johnson Wallace Palmer Family." Madison, Ind., Democrat Printing Co. 1919 by Mrs. Josephine Chapman Wallace Williams., and the "Johnson Records with Records of Associated Families, the Warnes and Suttons", (Tacoma, Washington: 1955) by Helen C. Biedel give us the following. There is a James Johnson who is listed as a son of Peter and Mary Johnson. This James was born in 1756 in Pennsylvania and he died in Illinois in 1826. He was married in Pennsylvania and he moved in 1785 with his family and nine other families to Vincennes, Northwest Territory. He was among the first American settlers in an area that would eventually become the state of Indiana.

James Johnson was appointed judge of Knox Co. court, 1790. At one time knew every white man in state. At age 38 he immigrated via keel-boat on Ohio and Wabash to Vinennes. He is buried in an almost forgotten and neglected family burying ground in Knox Co. He was on a roster of militia as returned by Maj. Francois Vigo, on July 19, 1790. One son, John L. came with him into Indiana territory. Another, Friend, moved west with retreating Indians. Elijah, born in 1796, met his death by a falling tree. William, another son, was said to be the first American child born in state of Indiana. The youngest was George. James Johnson raised a family of 14 children, one of the largest families in the country. He ran a water-mill on Mill creek. He was an early settler of Vincennes, Indiana.
The Knox County History (Indiana) 1988 gives the following information. James Johnston. Born near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, June 9, 1752. He, his wife (Elizabeth Lindsey) , and son (John L. Johnson), with nine other families, came by flatboat down the Ohio River to settle near Vincennes, Indiana. They settled on a 400 acre government grant given him for his service in the military. They moved to Lawrence County, Illinois in 1816. He died September 8, 1826 in Lawrence County, Illinois. He is buried in the Jackman Cemetery at St Francisville, Illinois. The Johnstons had fourteen children; all married and had large families. There were eight DAR members in the area, descendents of Johnston, in 1971: Mrs. Paul R. Wheeler; Mrs. James B. Wilkes; Mrs. Blanche Case Hoffman; Miss Louise Gilmore; Mrs. Robert Dotson; Mrs. Carl Gray; Mrs. Marvin Sweeney; Mrs. Ruth Baker. There was a special ceremony and placement of a marker on his grave in 1971.

James Johnston. Pages 779-780. Goodspeed's History of Knox County, 1886, lists him as James Johnson. Page 341 of Roster of Revolutionary Ancestor, Indiana Daughters of the American Revolution, lists him as James Johnson and gives the following information: Johnson, James, born 9 June 1752, PA., died 8 Sept. 1826, Lawrence Co., Ill., married 30 Oct 1783, Elizabeth Lindsey, born 1756, died 1836, St. Francisville, Ill. Service: Served three years and was commissioned Lt. Col. of the 1st Bat. Cumberland Co, Pa., Militia under George Washington on 19 May 1777. Children: John, born 6 Sept 1782, married Mary Anderson; Mary (Polly) married Joseph Selby; William, married (1) Dorinda French (2) Christina Anthis. [Vera Reeve pointed out that this is incorrect, even though it is a DAR record - there are errors in them, too. A William Johnson and Dorinda French were married Jan 20, 1817 in Harrison County, Indiana. A William Johnson and Christina Anthis were married Aug 2, 1808 in Knox County, Indiana. But this William is not the William who married Christina Anthis.]; James, married Anna Banks; Rebecca, married James Banks; Rachael, married William Selby; Reuben, married Polly Whittac; Elijah, born 1796, married Mildred Horrall; Joshua, married Polly Calhoun; Marian, married Elijah Chapman; Friend, married Mary Lindsey; Abner, married Eleanor Wallace; Sarah, married Joshua Lindsey; George, married Nancy Ann Turner. Descendant: Hreha, Ruth Johnson (Mrs. Joseph), No. 582748. See also DAR ID Nos: 139039, 66144, 66146, 66147, and 93069. In regards to the list of husbands and wives in "Index and Corrections" it seems that Friend Johnson, the son of James and Elizabeth, was not the Friend Johnson who married Mary Lindsey in 1846, but the one who married Nancy Lindsey in 1825, and moved West to Iowa, where he died.
Eric E. Johnson, in " The Johnson Gathering", gives the following information: Robert A. Johnson, grandson of James Johnson, states that James was born June 9, 1756, and died September 8, 1826. Another grandson, Alfred E. Johnson gives 1758 for the birthdate. Other sources give 1752. Robert A. Johnson is probably correct. Two dates are given for James' settlement in Knox County, 1785 and 1790. The 1785 date seems correct. Most likely Elizabeth Lindsey Johnson, James' wife, died in 1833, the date wrongly given for her husband's death. It is also proposed that James Johnson was a common soldier (Private) and a common farmer. He was not a lieutenant colonel and he was not a judge nor trustee of Vincennes University. These James Johnsons are two other men. There was a James Johnson who served with Richard Johnson in Rostraver Township of Westmoreland County Pennsylvania during the Revolution in Capt. Joseph Beckett's company. This James Johnson was a private and he is probably the son of Peter Johnson and the husband of Elizabeth Lindsey who died in Lawrence County Illinois in 1826. James purchased land in Edwards County, Territory of Illinois, around 1816. In 1821, a part of Edwards County was used to form Lawrence County. He had purchased land in the southwest quarter of section 21 in Edwards County. Edwards and Lawrence Counties have no recorded land deeds for James Johnson. The land deeds prior to 1814 have been lost in Knox County and only a few of these early deeds have been re-recorded. James and Elizabeth Johnson sold property in Harrison Township to their son John in 1809 . This deed was re-recorded in 1818. The second recorded deed of 1818 shows the residences of James and Elizabeth to be Knox County not Edwards County . It appears that they moved after this date to Edwards County because they are listed in the 1820 census returns for this county . The third deed recorded in 1822 in Knox County, shows that James and Elizabeth sold land to their son William, who had recently moved back from Harrison County, Indiana . The place of residence listed for James and Elizabeth was Lawrence County.The final deed dated in 1823 for James and Elizabeth says that they are now living in Knox County. Land was sold to their son William. It appears that James maintained two farms, one in Indiana and one in Illinois and that he moved back and forth between the two farms and he lived at each location long enough to establish legal residency. The bulk of the family was living in Lawrence County during the 1830 census returns . After 1830 a few members of the family stayed in Illinois while a few moved to Knox County, Indiana. About half of the family moved to Daviess County, Indiana.

Another James Johnson, Esquire, a lawyer, lived in Knox County Indiana at the same time. He is probably the James Johnson who was judge and trustee. On October 19, 1910, the following obituary was published in the Vincennes Commercial, dealing with descendants of James Johnson, Esquire, of Palmyra Township. "John Johnson, age 76 years, the father of Marshall Johnson of the Johnson Auto Co., Mrs. Bernice Schumacher of Broadway street, and P.L. Johnson of the White Lawn Stock Farm of Palmyra township, died Monday morning at the Johnson homestead in Palmyra township at nine o'clock after two years of suffering from Bright's disease. The funeral services will be conducted this afternoon at 2:30 at the Lower Indiana (Presbyterian) Church and Rev. Rogers, pastor of that church, will officiate. Burial will be made at the adjoining cemetery where members of the Johnson family have been interred for five generations back. The deceased, in addition to his three children, is survived by a wife, Mrs. Carrie E. Johnson, now 62 years of age. He has been blind since about six months after his marriage, but has always been able to go from place to place over his farm and attend to his work, the same as if he had two good eyes. The Johnson family for several generations have had Johns and James among their children. When his grave was located yesterday it was found that there were five James' and Johns' graves side by side, his being located next to that of his father, that of James Johnson, a former Knox County treasurer. Next to James is that of John, the great grandfather who was a territorial representative before Indiana was a state. Next to the great grandfather is the grave of James Johnson who was killed by the Indians and who was one of the first directors of Vincennes University. Next to this is another John, and then another James, these two being among the first laid to rest in the cemetery."
Eric Johnson in the "Johnson Gathering" writes thus: James Johnson, esquire, died on 7 April 1817 and you no longer see the suffix 'esquire' being used on the name of any James Johnson after this date. One problem still exists. According to the Roster of Soldiers and Patriots of the American Revolution Buried in Indiana, Volume 3 , this James Johnson was buried in Harrison Township in the Indiana Church Cemetery. This is probably a mistake. Most likely he was buried in Busseron Township. The Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots lists two James Johnson's as being buried in the Vincennes area. Peter's son is buried across the river from Vincennes in Jackman's Cemetery, St. Francisville, Lawrence County, Illinois. Both men are listed without a rank and are assumed to be privates. According to the Roster of Soldiers and Patriots of the American Revolution Buried in Indiana, Volume 3 , this second James died on 7 April 1817. His wife was named Margaret and he had a son named John. Margaret died in 1825. James served in the war from Virginia. The Soldiers of the American Revolution Buried in Illinois states that the grave of James Johnson in the Jackman's Cemetery has a government headstone. The Knox County History states that on Sunday, 31 October 1971, a ceremony to dedicate the new tombstone was held with descendants of James Johnson present.
Raymond M. Bell, in "Mother Cumberland, Tracing Your Ancestors in South Central Pennsylvania", (Hearthside Press, Alexandria, Virginia: 1989) indicates that a different James Johnston served in the revolution as a lieutenant colonel in the Eighth Battalion of the Cumberland County Militia under Colonel Abraham Smith. The battalion was formed in 1777 and the unit was reorganized as the First Battalion in 1780. James Johnston continued to serve as the lieutenant colonel in the First Battalion until the end of the war. He served in this battalion for six years. James' brother John was the Eighth Battalion's major in 1777 while another brother, Thomas, was a captain of one of the companies in 1780. James, the son of Peter, is not the same James Johnston from Cumberland County. Peter's family was firmly planted in Westmoreland County by the time of the revolution and James was with Peter. Also, as far as we know, Peter Johnson had no sons by the name of John or Thomas. The James Johnston from Cumberland County who was the lieutenant colonel was the son of James Johnston and Elizabeth Findlay. There was a James Johnson who served with Richard Johnson in Rostraver Township during the revolution in Capt. Joseph Beckett's company . This James Johnson was a private and he is probably the son of Peter Johnson and the subject of this chapter. Further evidence to support the theory that Peter's son was not a lieutenant colonel shows up in Vincennes. In the History of Knox and Daviess County , there is a Private James Johnson in the returns of Capt. Pierre Gamelin's militia company. No date for the militia roster was given but it is probably between 1785 and 1790. The returns for Maj. Francois Vigo's company, dated 19 July 1790, shows that there were two James Johnsons and both are listed as privates. If Peter's son was an officer in the Pennsylvania militia he would have probably been an officer (or at least a non-commissioned officer) in the Vincennes militia. His military experience would not have been wasted on the frontier. James Johnson did not served with General George Rogers Clark during the Revolutionary War. The Revolutionary War Records, Volume 1, Virginia does not list any James Johnson as having served in Clark's regiment. The book lists all of the men in this regiment who received land for their services in the war. These men were given land across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky, in what is now Clark County, Indiana.
"A HISTORY OF KNOX AND DAVIESS COUNTIES, INDIANA". 1886. GOODSPEED PUBLISHING COMPANY. CHICAGO. DAVIESS COUNTY, IN. WASHINGTON TWP. PAGE 779 JAMES JOHNSON, the subject of this sketch, was born in Pennsylvania in the year 1742, was of Scotch parentage, and at the age of about thirty-eight, immigrated to what was then the Territory of Indiana. He, with nine other families, ran down the Ohio River, on what was known as keel-boats, until the Wabash was reached. Then those few pioneers poled, pulled, and rowed up the river until the little French town of Vincennes was reached, where they disembarked, and for a time mingled with the French and Indians. These were the first Americans that made a permanent residence in Knox County, if not the first in the State. These people had moved to the New World with the hope of bettering their condition in life, and they, being farmers by occupaion, were satisfied with the outlook near Vincennes, and soon became settled on Government land, cleared the forests and were rewarded by successfully reaping largely of their growing crops. This colony was composed of brave and daring spirits, and most of that company lived to a green old age. Mr. Johnson was blessed with a family of thirteen children; the greater number of them lived to settle in life before their father's death, which occurred about 1833, being buried with honors of war, he having for three years been a soldier in the Revolutionary war. So fell this man of toil, who was willing to leave home, nativity, and all that he held dear, that in the wilds of the far West, he might rear a home and leave a competency for his family. His ashes lie in an almost forgotten and neglected family burying ground in Knox County, and according to his religious belief will rest until he shall "meet the Lord in the air." He has many descendants yet living. Data Entry Volunteer: Diana Flynn

JOHNSON, the eldest son of the above sketch, was born in 1782, and when a small youth with his father, shared the wilds of a Western life; he could at the age of ninety years, name each of the ten families, who together, in 1790, came to the "territory of Knox;" he retained to a remarkable degree his memory to the day of his death. He died to the advanced age of ninety-two years; for sixty-five years he lived continuously in the same home in Daviess County; his companion during all this time, sharing his trials and joys, died two years later. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and participated in a number of important engagements, and at the time of his death was a pensioner on the Government, because of services rendered in that war. His politics were those of his father, Whig, and later Republican; his religous sympathies were with the Methodist Episcopal Church, he having been identified with that denomination from boyhood. "He now rests from his labors." One of his brothers, Friend, moved West with the retreating Indians; he was a silversmith by trade. He died near Muscatine, Iowa. Another brother, Elijah, who was born in 1796, met his death by a falling tree in 1848, in Daviess County, Ind. His religion and politics were the same as his elder brother's. He left a family of nine children, eight of whom are still living, and whose average age is fifty-four years. William Johnson, a brother, was said to be the first American child born in the State of Indiana; in politics he differed from the rest, as he died a Democrat. George, the youngest, is at this writing alive, being the only one left of the large family. His seventy-seven years sit lightly upon him; he now lives near Sumner, Ill.

P.781 NELSON JOHNSON, a representative of one of the first Indiana families, farmer, and one of the leading stockmen of this county, vice-president of the Daviess County Agricultural Society, was born in Veal Township, this county, January 3, 1835, son of Elijah and Mildred (HORRELL) Johnson, and of Scotch descent. Of eight children he is the sixth. At one year of age he was, by his parents, removed to where he now lives, on what is know as the old Johnson homestead, which consisted of eighty acres. He came into possession of the homestead in 1855. He engaged in farming in early life, and has since continued, and now owns 285 acres of good land. For fifteen years he has been paying attention to stock and stock raising, and has made several trips to Canada in stock interests. He has many fine Cotswold sheep and Clydesdale horses. He was married, in 1854, to Miss Martha E. HUMMER, a native of Knox County. They have five children: Theodore, William S., Hayden H., Emmons and Dovie.

"A HISTORY OF KNOX AND DAVIESS COUNTIES, INDIANA". 1886. GOODSPEED PUBLISHING COMPANY. CHICAGO. Knox County. Harrison Township. pp507-508. ROBERT A. JOHNSON, one of the prominent farmers of Harrison Township, was born November 23, 1843, in Daviess County, and is one of a family of nine children of Abner and Eleanor (Wallace) Johnson. The father was of Irish descent, born in 1805 in Knox County, Indiana and was a miller and farmer by occupation. Our subject’s grandfather, James Johnson, was born June 9, 1756, in Pennsylvania. He came to Indiana in 1785, and located in the old French village, or now the city of Vincennes, where he lived only a short time, when he entered 400 acres of land in Johnson Township, where he lived until 1819, when he sold out and moved to Lawrence Co., Illinois, and died September 8, 1826. He raised a family of fourteen children, and lived to see them all grow to the age of maturity and to see them all married, it being one of the largest families in the county. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and was one of the very first white men in the State. At one time he knew every white man in the State. Abner married June 15, 1828, and afiterward lived in Lawrence County, Illinois, with his mother for a few years, and about 1830 moved to Daviess County, Ind., and entered eighty acres in Veal Township, where he settled and lived until 1853 when he sold out and moved to Martin County, where he remained until his career ended.

He left a family of nine children, eight of whom are still living, and whose average age is fifty-four years. William Johnson, a brother, was said to be the first American child born in the State of Indiana; in politics he differed from the rest, as he died a Democrat. George, the youngest, is at this writing alive, being the only one left of the large family. His seventy-seven years sit lightly upon him; he now lives near Sumner, Ill.

Notes for ELIJAH CHAPMAN:
CHAPMAN, Elijah
A portion of the following is an extract from an article written several years since by S. F. Horrall, a veteran newspaper man of Washington, Indiana. The article briefly tells of: "The rise and fall of a town on the east fork of White river, named New London. Its founder was Elijah CHAPMAN, a pioneer of Veale township, who resides near my father's farm. In addition to that farm Chapman owned a large tract of the rich river bottom land. The land along the river then was covered with heavy timber consisting of poplar, walnut, ash, hickory, sycamore and beech. The size of the trees ranged from one to six feet in thickness and was from twenty-five to seventy-five feet high. Chapman concluded that it was a pity for all that fine timber to go to waste in ashes following the clearing, so he built a sawmill, employed men to operate it and rapidly the forests were converted into the choicest lumber. The market for such lumber in Washington for a number of years depended on Mr. Chapman's saw mill for its supply. I was quite young but the idea of making a town out of a wilderness was so novel that all the people talked and wondered. Mr. Chapman was a bundle of energy and determination. He did not know the word fail. The land for a half mile along the north bank of the river was platted into lots and old rapidly for he promised and gave employment to all who would buy a lot and settle" there, hence in a few years New London was a town of several hundred people, with one or two general stores, blacksmith shop, shoemakers, carpenters and cabinet makers to say nothing of the spinning wheels and looms. Another industry was an additional saw mill located at the west end of the town by Geo. Anthis of Decker township, Knox county. Transportation of large supplies of the products from the rich lands was furnished by water, White river, Wabash and Ohio to New Orleans or the Mississippi. Many flat boats plied down these streams finding markets. Here then at New London was of all places along the east fork of White river, the most eligible site for flat boat building. Samuel and Elias White of Cumback at that time were the chief builders and contractors for everybody. Not even a nail or a spike was used in the construction, but all sides and bottoms were fastened with pegs, kept on hand, of seasoned oak, the size being an inch thick and as long as necessary. New London now was a town with two saw mills, a dozen ox teams hauling saw logs, carpenter shops, and other industries, five or six flat boats being constructed, so all the planning of Mr. Chapman seemed to be successful and he felt proud of it. He often was heard to rejoice that life was not a failure. So that good man lived to see the town of New London at its zenith." Mr. Chapman was one of the pioneers of Daviess county, having entered a large tract of land in 1813. He was the first in the county to erect a saw mill and carding machine. He was one of the founders of Old Bethel church. Because of his efficiency in court proceedings he obtained the title of Judge Chapman. It is said, the slogan "Crow Chapman Crow," originated from his extreme modesty manifested when successfully elected to office over a very popular opponent. He was honored by being elected as representative to the state legislature in 1844-46. He built a substantial two-story home on the Troy road near Pleasant Hill, in a field east of the home he erected a kiln for the manufacture of earthenware; crocks, jars, jugs, dishes and other articles from the kiln, with products from the saw mill and farm were hauled by ox and horse teams to White river a distance of several miles loaded into flat boats, taken to New Orleans and there sold or exchanged for groceries and merchandise for the comfort and pleasure of the family and neighbors at home, who waited and watched anxiously for their return and were often highly delighted with a surprise gift of silk or other fine fabric for extra wearing apparel. A trip to New Orleans in those days was a greater and more dangerous undertaking than a trip now to France or Germany. Elijah and Mariah (JOHNSON) CHAPMAN's children were James, Caleb, Friend and Elizabeth. Caleb married Harriet Palmer, daughter of Hiram Palmer whose farm joined Chapman's. Palmer was superintendent of the county farm and died there of cholera in 1849. Their children were Alonzo, now of Madison, Ind., and Cordelia and Medora, California. Friend married Elizabeth Sutton of Washington, Ind., one daughter Esther, now lives in California. His second wife was Sarah M. BARR, of Shawneetown, Ill., their children were, Alonzo, Franklin, Mollie, May, and Jesse. Elizabeth married Thompson Wallace, whose children were Caleb, Emeline, Elijah and Frank, Rose, Jane and Joseph by a second wife, Catherine Rodarmel. On the 22nd. of Feb. 1838 James Chapman went to the home of Hon. William and Sarah (HORRALL) WALLACE where he was united in marriage to their daughter Nancy Matilda, Rev. Davis officiating. On this occasion an elaborate wedding feast was served to over one hundred guests. The decorations were profuse. The bride's brother (Harrison) went several miles on horse to procure evergreens and materials for festoonings. The center decoration for the table was a small cedar tree festooned with fine curled paper. Other decorations were cedar and grasses dipped in flour or alum water making them glisten like frost and icicles. The beautiful bride in white, the groom in black, were a handsome couple. Elijah Chapman invited all present, and any others who wished to come to his home the next day for the "infare" dinner. James with his beautiful bride Matilda, in a sleigh, drove to the Chapman home where a wonderful dinner (equal to a barbecue) was served to many guests. James had three sons in the Civil war, John, William and Albert Eli. Albert being named for Eli McCarty of Civil war fame. John was in Salsbury prision, N. C., and was liberated on the 22nd of February 1865, the anniversary of his father's wedding, and his grandfather Wallace's birthday. Albert, as a drummer boy was with Sherman on his famous march to the sea. Three daughters, Jane, Ella and Josephine, survive. In 1854 Elijah Chapman moved to Illinois where he purchased a large tract of land so that each child could own a good sized farm. He died there in 1855. The land entered by Mr. Chapman in 1813 has been transferred but once. In 1854 it was sold to Mr. Wm. Allison, whose children take pride in the homestead. Mr. Allison says the only improvements made in the building since 1854 are the new kitchen verandas and roof. In the east room is the original puncheon floor. Near the barn is a piece of land where sweet potatoes have been cultivated each year (except two) for over one hundred years. The "Allison boys" are courteous, obliging, progressive farmers, whose influence is felt throughout the community. Their descendants will be as proud of their skill, ambition and integrity as the Chapmans are of their forefathers. Around this dear old pioneer home cluster many precious memories dear to the hearts of the many descendants of Hon. Elijah Chapman.
