In 1856 he moved to Iowa and settled upon the place where he continued to live until his death. He was married three times, his first wife being Ann Potter. While living in Indiana he married Caroline Hough, who came with him to Iowa and who is now burried in the Friends Cemetery, at Rocksylvania. In 1860 he married Ann Macy, who survives him. By his first wife he had four children none of whom are now living. Of these one son, James, was in the 6th Iowa Infantry, was taken prisoner and confined in Libby prison three months, dying at Annapolis, Md in 1863, shortly after his release. He had six children by his second wife, all of whom are living except John, who was in the cavalry service, and died at home from disease contracted in the army . Three children were born to him by his surviving wife, one of whom was killed accidentally and two of whom are now living. The living children are George Johnson, Eureka, Kans.; W.S. Johnson of this place; Mrs. Lucinda Thomas, Kansas City; Mrs. Flora Smith, Osseo, Minn. ; Arcasto and Morton, who are still living at home. Mr. Johnson was a hardworking and successful farmer. Commencing with but little he has added to his possessions, until a fine farm of about five hundred acres, and large herds of improved stock were about him. Beneath a somewhat rugged exterior there beat a warm heart, and the neighbors who have known him for more than a third of a century will mourn him as a good friend and neighbor gone from among them . Another of the pioneer fathers has been laid to rest, and may his rest be sweet. History of Hardin County, Iowa ;Springfield, Ill: Union Publishing Company., 1883, page Hugh Johnson resides on section 21. Mr. Johnson was born in Monmouth county, now Ocean county, N. J., in 1813. He lived there till 1840, when he removed to Indiana. Mr. J. is a millwright by trade. He bought a mill in Indiana, which he run for some time, and then rebuilt and sold. He came to Iowa to improve his health. He came to Hardin county, from Indiana, with teams, in 1856. Mr. Johnson bought his first land (340 acres) of Robt. and John Simpson. He has now 500 acres in his home farm and owns land in other places. His first wife was Ann Potter, of New Jersey. She died in Indiana, leaving Mr. J. with three small children. His second wife was Caroline Hough, born in Indiana. She died here in March, 1858. His present wife was Ann Macy, who came here with her father, Henry Macy, in 1855. Mr. Johnson's children by his first marriage are all deceased. Of these, James was a member of the 6th Iowa Infantry, and was captured at Jackson, Miss., imprisoned at Libby three months, and died at Annapolis in 1863.

He had no advantages for an education when a youth, but acquired sufficient knowledge of books, after reaching manhood, to transact all necessary business.

He is now independent in politics, voting as his conscience dictates.
