"John1 Johnson, a brother of Robert1 Johnson, Sr., of New Haven, was identified with Roger's [sic] company, though he may have preceded it to this country. He was in New Haven, Conn., early in 1639, and had a house there, in the 'Yorkshire Quarter' (Atwater); he soon removed to 'the Bay,' probably to Boston. He had some interest in a house in Boston, 1639, probably as a mortgagee one of the '4 Yorkshire men' mentioned in Thomas Lechford's Note-Book. These '4 Yorkshire men' were probably Thomas Barker, John Johnson, Francis Lambert and John Punderson who, on 7 : 8 mo. 1639, joined with William Cheseborough in conveyance of said house and lot to Sergt. Thomas Savage of Boston. John1 Johnson had died before 14 : 3 mo (May) 1640, when Thomas Barker and Francis Lambert gave to Sergt. Thomas Savage 'Releases and acquittances for themselves and John Johnson's children.' Before he left New Haven he sold his house and lot to his brother Robert, as is shown by court record as follows: 'At Court Held att New Haven The 3d of Novem: 1641: Whereas Robert Johnson maketh clame to the house and lott of his brother John Johnson, late planter of this town, deceased' &c. &c. This claim of Robert Johnson was not fully established until 1646; and in the circumstance some doubt has arisen as to the true date of his death. Soon after the mention of the '4 Yorkshire men' in his notebook, Lechford enters a charge for 'Inventory of John Johnson's goods.' We think John1 Johnson was brother-in-law to Thomas Barker and Francis Lambert (G. B. B.).
