Subject: Steven Johnson & Elizabeth Dane; Andover Is anyone able to help me solve this with information and facts? I am supporting my data and was sourcing dates, names and places with this family and their children. I come across an abnormal recording of their children's birth. A gap of four years! This family had six of ten of their children recorded in vital records of Andover. Seven, if you include Elizabeth' death. I can not find any information on the twins, Benjamin and Joseph, and their younger brother Stephen Johnson who were born between 1677 and 1679. From another secondary source I have actual dates for them but can not substantiate with vital record information. Their older sister Abigail (1) is listed in 1675, along with her death, and the younger sister named for the previous Abigail (2) in 1681. Marriage date for the parents is recorded in 1661. Their first child Elizabeth is not recorded except for her death and the first birth that is recorded is for Ann Johnson in 1668. Their first five children died young, accordingly to the vital records. Was there a probate or a will for the parents? This family was caught up in the Andover witchcraft craze in 1692 and is well documented. Did the family leave and return during these four years? Is it there and I am just missing it? After 1692, there are no known death dates for Steven Johnson and his wife Elizabeth (Dane) Johnson. Did they leave the area? Their youngest child Francis, along with one others sibling, Abigail stay and married in Andover and other Essex towns (Boxford). I seem to can not find anything on Benjamin and Joseph, but I did find that Steven (2) aged 13 was imprisoned for 5 weeks for witchcraft. Children of the two are listed below: Elizabeth Johnson Ann Johnson Stephen Johnson Mary Johnson Abigail Johnson Benjamin Johnson Joseph Johnson Stephen Johnson Abigail Johnson Francis Johnson ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!
