Wouldn't you know I'd be on vacation the week Roll Call comes around! I have James W. JOHNSON, born 1820, perhaps in Waterford, New London County, CT. He married Hannah Lester BEEBE May 26, 1844 at the First Baptist Church, Waterford. They were married by Francis Darrow, Minister of the Gospel They had the following children: Annie Johnson Alonzo Mortimer Johnson, b. September 10, 1848, d. July 21, 1938, both in Waterford. Louise Johnson, b. 1857, d. 1948. She married Elias BISHOP. James W. Johnson was a stonemason, and is buried in the Cedar Grove Cemetery in New London County. Family tradition has it that James was a "bound boy". I take that to mean that James was the means by which his family worked off a debt, or that he learned the trade of stonemasonry by binding himself to a master mason for a period of years. At any rate, James died October 14, 1915 (at the age of 95) in Waterford, New London County, CT. I am descended from Alonzo Mortimer Johnson. I would love to know more of James' parents and siblings (if any). -Pat. Wary
