Although it is thought that he came from Herne Hill, Cantebury, Co. Kent, England, there is no trace of him having ever been there or that Davy Johnson, who came to America on the same ship, was his father. John Johnson first appeared in the Ipswich, Mass. records in 1637 where the family lived until around 1657 when he and his grown son, Thomas, were given land in Andover. He was a cobbler (shoemaker) and one of the most prominent and wealthiest (through his large estate) citizens of his community. He took the Oath of Allegiance in Andover on February 11, 1678 with his four grown sons. The exact date of his death is unknown, but is speculated to be between 1685 and 1688. He is likely buried in the Andover old burying ground. ______________________________________________ In the 1635 passenger list of the James, John Johnson appeared immediately after the family of RALPH FARNHAM {1635, Ipswich}. Ralph Farnham died by 1648, when his widow remarried to Solomon Martin, another passenger on the same vessel. The combined Farnham and Martin family was also in Andover by 1657. This pattern of events encourages the identification of the subject of this sketch as that John Johnson who had daughter Elizabeth and son Thomas baptized at Strood, Kent, at the appropriate dates. Strood is adjacent to Rochester, the origin of Ralph Farnham, and no other Johnson baptisms were found at Strood between 1624 and 1639. Source: Anderson's Great Migration Study Project
