    "Thomas moved to Shaftsbury, VT, in 1766, probably leading a significant line of the Johnson family there. In 1780 the Second Baptist Church, of which he was a deacon, was established at Maple Hill in the northern part of the town, with the first meeting taking place at Thomas's home. This congregation was called the "Rhode Island Church" because so many former Rhode Islanders belonged. He is also said to have served as town clerk of Shaftsbury for forty years. His beautiful marble gravestone contains the information that Deacon Thomas Matteson was fourth in his line 'from the Danish nation' and that he was 'twice born as Jesus said,' a reference to his spiritual condition."

    Notes:

    Joseph G. Johnson witnessed the Warwick will of Desire Burton, singlewoman, formerly of Cranston, dated 1 Sep 1853. The two other witnesses were Joshua A. Johnson & Stacy W. Remington.

    In the Federal Census of 1850, the family is living at Cranston: Josehp G. 34 Town Clerk, Mary A. 36, Charles E. 13, Martha A. 10, Sarah E. 8, Mary E. 5, Harriet 3, and Joseph G. 1. Also in the household are Thomas Burgess 50 and Allen J. Tibbetts 27.

    In 1860 the family is still at Cranston: Joseph G. 44, Mary A. 46, Mary E. 16, Joseph G. 11, Allen T. 8 (possibly named after Allen Tibbetts listed in 1850), Harriet 6 (probably the older Harriet had died); and Rachel Stevens 90. It is interesting to note that Charles Remington's brother Daniel married an Alice Stevens -- is there a connection?

    In 1870 they are at Providence: Joseph G. Johnston 54 real estate broker, Mary A. 56, Joseph G. Jr. 21, Allen T. 18; and Barbary Scott 75.

    In 1880 they are back in Cranston. It appears that son Allen T. is married and his wife and young daughter are in the household; also married daughter Mary E. Donaldson and her husband Wm. Married son Charles E. appears to be next door with his family.

    Joseph — Mary A. Remington. Mary (daughter of Charles Remington and Elizabeth "Betsey" Stafford) was born Oct 1812, Warwick, RI; died 18 Jun 1901, Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]
