Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Sarah Johnson was born Abt 1760 (daughter of Elisha JOHNSON and Deborah Johnson).

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Elisha JOHNSON was born Abt 1702 (son of Elkanah JOHNSON and Mary BARTHOLOMEW); died Abt 22 May 1774; was buried , Maple Root Cemetery, Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    I have estimated the birth years of some of the children, based on the order in which they are named in Elisha's will.

    Some genealogies show Elisha as having an earlier wife named Mary Spencer. (needs more research)

    Elisha's father Elkanah deeded to him on 4 February 1720 a piece of land located in Warwick that he had bought from Samuel & Susannah Gorton.

    Elisha married Deborah Johnson 9 Jul 1750, East Greenwich, RI. Deborah (daughter of Elisha Johnson and Deborah Sherman) was born Abt 1716; died 22 Oct 1776; was buried , Maple Root Cemetery, Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Deborah Johnson was born Abt 1716 (daughter of Elisha Johnson and Deborah Sherman); died 22 Oct 1776; was buried , Maple Root Cemetery, Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    Deborah was the widow of Jonathan Yeats (Yates) when she married Elisha Johnson. Interestingly, her father's name was also Elisha Johnson.

    Children:
    1. John Johnson was born Abt 1752; died 12 Feb 1822; was buried , Harrington Lot, Foster, RI.

    4. George Johnson was born Abt 1758.

Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Elkanah JOHNSON was born 1673; died 1748, Coventry, RI; was buried , Historical Cemetery 70, South Main St., Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    It is not known whether Elkanah was born in England or America. There are references to an Elkanah Johnson elsewhere, but if that was the same individual as this, that fact is unclear. An Elkanah Johnson was summoned to the Plymouth Court on 1 June 1669; an Elkena Johnson served on a jury at Newport in May 1674. The earliest reference to Elkanah in the west bay area of RI is a 1705 East Greenwich land record identifying him as "Elkany Johnson of East Greenwich."

    In February 1726/27, "Alkanah" Johnson contributed to the building of the meetinghouse for the Six Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich.

    (Source for the above information: Linda L. Mathew in "A Line of Descent from Elkanah Johnson of Coventry . . ." in RI Roots Magazine, Vol. 29, No. 3, p. 113 - 115)

    Linda Mathews also suggests that Elkanah may have come to East Greenwich from Newport, as did Elisha Johnson, who bought land at East Greenwich 14 August 1715. The similar names of some of their children may indicate that they were related.

    Elkanah married Mary BARTHOLOMEW Abt 1696. Mary was born Abt 1675. [Group Sheet]
