Lt. Josiah JOHNSON was born on 7 Mar 1746 in Leominster, Worcester, Massachusetts. He died on 21 Feb 1827 in Buckland, Franklin, Massachusetts. He was buried in Buckland Center Cemetery, Buckland, Franklin, Massachusetts. The History of Buckland 1779 - 1935 by Fannie Shaw Kendrick & Lucy Cutler Kellogg. Published by The Town of Buckland, Buckland, Mass. 1937. p. 502 In 1773 he moved to that part of Charlemont afterwards Buckland. In 1796 he was sent to the Governor's Council; a useful and honored man whose influence was a great factor in shaping the early destinies of Buckland. He owned and operated a gristmill for a short time but the greater part of life was spent as a farmer. Was a lieutenant in the Revolutionary War. Genealogy Records of the Descendants of David Johnson of Leominster, Mass., Compiled by Rev. William W. Johnson, Printed by Godfrey & Crandall, Milwaukee, Wisc., 1876. p. 6. He resided in Leominster, Mass., until 1773, when he emigrated to Charlemont, Mass., where he purchased land. The deed was given by Jonathan White of Leominster, and Joseph Wilder, of Lancaster, on the 15th day of December, in the 13th year of His Majesty's reign, A.D. 1773. The description of the is as follows: "One hundred acres of land, in Charlemont, in the county of Hampshire, in the southeast part of said town, on the south line of which it is bounded south; on the north it is bounded by Mr. Taylor's farm; on the east it is bounded on the public land; on the west it is bounded on Mr. Taylor's other farm, or the farm called Clesson's farm." It would be difficult, I think, for a surveyor, from this description, to find that land now. When Buckland was incorporated in 1778, this land was included in that town. He owned a grist mill for a short time in the north part of the town, but the greater part of his life was spent in farming.

Would there be any connection to the Frederick D. Johnson, Amos Johnson, E. Johnson who were all in Greenfield, Wisconsin in 1859? There also is a C.W. Kellog nearby. For my GILBERT and SENIOR families there seems to be a tie between Northfield (Litchfield), Connecticut, Baraboo or Greenfield, Wisconsin and Buckland, Massechusets but I can't quite pinpoint it. My ancestor Linus T. Gilbert bought property from Frederick D. Johnson in Sept. 1859. Witnesses were M.M.Johnson and (??) Crandell (Justice of the Peace). Another name on the mortgage is S. P. Woodward. The Woodward name is another one that I have seen in the vacinity of all these places. While this may be a wild goose chase, I thought I's see if anyone else can shed some light on any possible connections. Thank you, Ginny Echelberger
