Hello, I'm curious if anyone is currently researching the descendants of Edward JOHNSON of 1600's Woburn. And, I'm interested in finding out if anyone knows which JOHNSON families were living in Winchester during the 1800's. I'm particularly interested in what would have been 4 JOHNSON couples living in the "Hill District" of Winchester in 1850. I have been reminded that my ancestor, Jacob HUTCHINSON, had a sister, Maria, who married Francis JOHNSON of Woburn. Winchester became a separate town in 1850, so the couple lived in Winchester at that time. Jacob HUTCHINSON and his brother, Thomas HUTCHINSON, and their other sister, who married William DODGE, were, I believe all living in the "Hill District" of Winchester in 1850. I believe their older brother, John, was in Winchester someplace, and their other sister, who married Gardner SYMMES was there someplace. But, it was right about 1850 when John HUTCHINSON and the DODGE and SYMMES couples moved to Brooklyn, NY, and remained there. I checked census information and in 1860 Francis JOHNSON had a "livery stable" in Winchester with several employees. "Frank" and Maria had 2 children, and seem to have remained in Winchester, with Maria a widow in 1900. I did find a book on the patriarch, Edward, on-line: http://books.google.com/books?id=sx9WAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA172&dq=Edward+Johnson,+Woburn&cd=4# I haven't yet looked to see if he is discussed on other web sites. I checked the archives of the List and the JOHNSON's of Woburn and Winchester have only been mentioned a few times. Betty (near Lowell, MA) FYI: The son, Henry JOHNSON, seems to have remained single until at least 1900. The daughter, Louise, married Warren KNOX, and they might have only had a son, Chester KNOX. In 1880 Warren was a jeweler but in 1900, both he and his son-in-law were "capitalists." By 1920, Warren seems to have remarried and was a treasurer in some company.
