The definite work of making this book was begun nearly nine years ago. It was at the earnest request of some of the old-r members of the Johnson family. I was then visiting at Bailey's Island, Me. I at once placed before these relatives the fragments of our Johnson history which I had collected when a lad of my grandfather, Capt. James Sinnett, who had marri(Hl Mary John- son, granddaughter of our ancestor, Jacob Johnson. He was a man of wonderful memory in regard to past events in Harpswell Me. His wife and her relatives had been a joy and strength to him in all the changing scenes of life, until he came to speak of their records as if they were his own. To my grandfather's home, more than to all others, had come on visits the widely scattered members of the Johnson family. They continued to make these pilgrimages long after the wife, familiarly known as "Aunt Polly," had passed away. He and his widowed daughter, Hannah, made these visits such pleasant seasons that the de- scendants of those who came to Bailey's Island still speak and write of them. My grandfather said tg me one evening, as if the woman whom he, and all who knew her, loved so much, were with us still, "Your grandmother is so glad to think you are writing down what I tell you about the Johnsons. I have no doubt you will make a book out of it some day." And well did I remember the quiet, loving ways of this woman, who made every one of her grand- children feel that she had a special love for them, and that her prayers were speeding away itefore them to give light on all the pathways they might follow in the coming years. And I thought, "The book should be made for her sake, even if she had been the only Johnson the world had known." She was a strong type of our Johnson line through its many generations; loving, warm- hearted and making her home one of true hospitality for each one who came thither. And in the quiet hours she could tell us the legends of the early days with that rare skill and chai-m which has characterized our Johnsons, liowev<>r far they have gone from our home town by the sea. Hundreds who read these words of 4 JOHNSON GENEALOGY. reminiscence will see before them the shining faces, will feel the honest hand clasps and hear the tales of former years ringing in their hearts as no other stories have ever done. All my collections of records of our earlier Johnsons I at once spread before those who asked mo to make this Johnson book, and calls were often made on the older members of the family in Harpswell, Portland, and many islands of Casco Bay. These pa- pers were carefully corrected, with guidance such as this, and much constantly added to them. Then also began a correspond- ence with people of our race in every town where even a rumor of one could be heard. This quest has been kept up through the years. It was no light task to carry on such a work when I had charge of two parishes among the New Hampshire hills, and was writing much for papers and magazines. Then came many cares and a removal to a hustling town in the West. But in all the hard and weary places I have never ceased to see the shining face of my grandmother, or to hear the words of her husband. Memo- ries of other friends have cheered. And the finding of far re- moved members of our Johnson line has given still more inspira- tion. So, on land and sea, in clearest mountain sunshine, and in the swirl of the darkest prairie storms, the work has gone on, and its results are given to you with grateful thanks to the host of friends who have aided in every way they could to make this volume complete. Emphasis has already been laid on some of the strongest John- son characteristics. Wherever any representative of this line has made a home it has been one of truest hospitality. Many a child in such homes has been taught, "Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." And then a voice has added solemnly and tenderly, "Ay, and do not forget thy neighbor nor the stranger within thy gate." These golden rules have been handed down from generation to generation in word and example. And their glory and rewards are clearly seen if you mark to what a great age so many of our Johnsons have attained and are still attain- ing. The story-telling gifts of our people have been indicated. Old and young have felt the power of this inheritance. Some of the legends and witty sayings of our ancestors have been published in the writings of others, and have found wide praise. The power to hold fast to any chosen work of life, and out of this make a grand success, in spite of the thorny hindrances, is also a marked trait of our Johnsons. Study well the varied oc- cupations, by land and sea, of the people of whom this book tells, JOHNSON GENEALOGY. und you will be asionished to soe what they have achieved along hundreds of lines of duty and helpfulness. In the few cases of failure in the bearing out of this strong rule I have found the reason, not in any thinning of the .lohuson blood, l)ut in the per- sistent influence of some unwise teacher, or the lower ideals of some other family which has been allied with ours. I have" set in the front of this book the picture of the woman who is the oldest living of our line. I have done this with the same clear purpose with which I have spoken ot my grandmother and other women whose lives make glowing pages of history. It is that each reader may carefully note how much of the family sturdiness and love of truth has been transmitted through the female lines of the faniily. You will notice that all of the five daughters of our Ancestor Jacob Johnson married and moved into towns quite far inland from their native Harpswell. Some of their sons and daughters were widely scattered across this con- tinent. But through all the long ranks of descendants the family characteristics are clearly seen — truly a royal heritage. The addresses of most of the living descendants of our Johnson ancestor are given, that the widely-separated kindred may try and keep up the old custom of visits where it is possible, and of correspondence which shall bring us all into the close fellowship which should l)e felt. Let each branch of the family keep its record with care, that they may be added to this book from time to time. Edmore, N. D., Good Friday, March 29, 1907. OUR JOHNSON ANCESTOR. All accounts examined agree in the statement that our Ances- tor Jacob Johnson was born in England, and came to America when he was a young man. The date of his birth was about 1715. He and his wife, and other relatives, are buried in the cemetery at Bailey's Island, Harpswell, Me. His gravestone clearly states that he died in Cumberland, Me., October 15, 1803, aged 88 years. In another account the date of his death is given as June 29, 1802, but the inscription on the gravestone is no doubt correct. Many legends concerning Ancestor Jacob Johnson have come down to us, and it may be well to consider these. One writer states, "The first American Johnson of our line was Sir James Johnson, who is supposed to have been the son of an English lord." A part of this statement is no doubt derived from the fact that at Plymouth, Mass., was, at an early date, a Sir Isaac John- son. The legend has the germ of truth that there is no doubt our ancestor was of a fine old English family. Another writes: "Our Ancestor Jacob Johnson was English, and his real name was Hatheway. He took the Johnson name so as not to be discovered when he escaped from an English man-of-war." Some others give the original name as Hatheway. This seems to be partially accounted for by the following state- ment from the oldest family Bible preserved by the Johnson de- scendants: "Jonathan Hatheway Johnson was born in Sweden, and died of the plague, in Lrondon, England. He married Anna Frazier, the daughter of Jonathan Frazier of London, England." This Jonathan Hatheway Johnson would clearly appear to be the father of our Ancestor Jacob Johnson. He named his first son Jonathan, according to the custom in such old families, thus remembering his father — also his grandfather Frazier. It will be noticed how the names Frazier and Hatheway were preserved among the children of James Johnson, the son of Ancestor Jacob. Others state that the ancestor, Jacob, changed his name from Hatheway to Johnson because of a love affair. There seems to have been a rival lover, to whom Jacob surrendered all claims, leaving his native land and going to bis relatives in Virginia. Then, fearing some clue of his whereabouts might reach the home- land and shadow in some slight way the lives of his rival and wife, he changed his name and removed to the Maine coast, with the strict charge that no due to his dwelling place should be given JOHNSON GENEALOGY. / to English friends. Many sacrificos macU' by this sturdy Jacob incline one to cherish this story with cai'e. He certainly lived the purest and happiest kind of life with his noble wife, in a union which covered a space of uiore than fifty years. If one be- lieves in rewards for sacrifices in love affairs, such as is attrib- uted to Jacob Johnson, here is a glowing example in Abigail Bib- ber, whom he married at Harpswell, Me., December 17. 1752. She was one of the truest and bravest women the old town by the soa has ever known. Her gravestone on Bailey's Island, Me., states that she died April 20, 1813, aged 86 years, thus making her date of birth about 1727. She was the daughter of James Bibber, who was born on the Isle of Jersey, England, in 1706, and died in Harpswell, Me., 1773. He was the sturdy ancestor of the Bibbers of Maine. He married Abigail Drew of Dover, N. H., who died at Harpswell, Me., 1783, and who was the daughter of John Drew of a celebrated old New Hampshire family. Abigail Bibber was a very beautiful woman, dark haired, with bright eyes, red cheeks and a cheery smile for every hard place in life. Her witty words were famous throughout the neighborhood. Her courage never failed in those dark and troublous times in which her lot was cast. While living on Harpswell Neck, Me., on the spot on which the hotel called the Mau.sion House was afterwards built, she was often left alone when her husband and sons were away fishing or hunting. The Indians, who wei'e always prowling in the shaggy forests which then clothed Harpswell Neck, had long de- termined to destroy this home and take the life of the woman who had already defeated some of their plans for surprising and massacring the settlers on the Neck. To shut her bright eyes forever meant to these warriors that they could safely count on the scalps of her husband, children and others. One day Jacob Johnson and his sons went up Harpswell Bay to a tide mill to have some corn ground. "There is a fine breeze," said Jacob, "and by four o'clock we shall be home with our grist." He stooped down and kissed the ruddy cheeks of Abigail, who replied with a merry laugh and the whirr of her spinning wheel. The wheel whirred on until the sun set, though the wife knew that the bay lay white and still as if no breeze would ruffle it for many hours to come. Singing a cheery song she milked the cows and did all the household work, as if she had no thought of black-eyed sav- ages who watched beneath a great pine tree. But at an early hour after midnight, when the Indians crept to the home, and one had entered a low window of the log house, they heard the quick cry, "Ho! Jacob! Jonathan! all! fire your guns!" There was a murmur of hoarse voices, as if all the men of the household had 8 JOHNSON GENEALOGY. returnetl in some mysterious way through the calm that lay on the bay. Then two sharp cries of the old flintlock gun followed. The shriek of the Indian at the window pierced the night. It was answered by a groan from the edge of the clearing. The rest of the Indians fled and the house of Jacob Johnson was never mo- lested again. "Ugh! we shall never get the sharp-eyed squaw," was the verdict heard by many an old tree on Harpswell Neck. In the gray dawn Jacob Johnson and his sons reached home. Tliey had heard the guns, and feared much harm for their home. "How was it, Nabby?" Jacob cried, as he saw his wife on the shore. "Oh, we caught the biggest bravef' laughed Abigail, "but he put his hand in the meal chest before I could aim at him. Maybe the porridge will not taste well to you." "Everything will taste sweet, since you are safe." And the Ivisses fell fast on the cheeks of the brave woman. The clearest account of our Johnson aijcestor was given me many years ago by my grandfather, Capt. James Sinnett, who was well versed in historical matters, and who married Mary Johnson, granddaughter of the ancestor: "The Johnson ancestor came from England to Virginia at an unknown date. He was connected with the Lee family, and probably located at James- town, or near there. The names of his brothers are not known with certainty. He is said to have been impressed on an English man-of-war, and so escaped to the Maine coast." With such a good history as our forefathers of the Johnson line have made, we are well content to trace the deeds which show a true worth, saying with one of a philosophic turn of mind, "Hatheways we may be — but the Johnson name is one that we love." The author of this, book likes that kind of philosophy, too, as a descendant of the line. But he will study the history well in the coming days, and all of the family shall share in his researches. ^ ' As has already bt^n mentioned. Ancestor Jacob Johnson lived on the lower pai-t of Harpswell Neck. His children were proba- bly born there. Some think that he lived on Hope Island, in Casco Bay for a time, but the evidence of this is not clear. His death in Cumberland, Me., as given on his gravestone, would ap- pear to have occurred while he was visiting some of his descend- ants at Great Chebeague, or some other point. His sons, Jona- than, David and James, all enlisted at Harpswell in the Revo- lutionary War. He was then living in Harpswell, and his sturdy spirit of patriotism was of great help in all town efforts for truth and liberty. This home would be near that of the Bibbers, the people of the wife to wliom he was so tenderly attached.

CHAPTER I. (2) Jonathan Johnson, b. Harpswdl, Me., Oct. 4, 1754; buried with his wives at Harpswell Centre, Me.; ni. (first). May 1, 1776, Miriam Booker, b. Harpswell, Me., June 23, 1755; 'the daughter of Dea. James Bool^er and Mercy Young of York, Me.; granddaughter of John Booker and Hester Adams of York, Me.', John Booker being the American ancestor of this fme old fam- ily, coming from England in 1707 and settling ,y's Island, Me. He lived in a house which stood near the shore a little to the southwest of the home of his grandson, the late Capt. Elisha Johnson. He was a very energetic man and of the same sturdy qualities as the other children of Ancestor Jacob Johnson. He was a successful captain of fishing vessels and is said to have owned all the lower end of Bailey's Island, which was after- wards divided into the farms of his grandsons, Capts. Ephraim and Elisha Johnson. He was one of the most earnest patriots of his day. Long before the battle of Bunker Hill be urged his townspeople to do all in their power for the defence of their country. His quick, earnest method of speaking impressed deeply on many hearts the truth of his words. In April. 1775, when Captain Mowatt, who afterwards burned Falmouth, now Portland, Me., was at Falmouth Neck in the Cancean. protect- ing Capt. Thomas Coulson in the rigging of his mast ship, Jona- than said, "Destroy Mowatt's vessel and a great blow will be made for liberty." He at once joined the company of Col. Samuel Thompson of New Meadows (afterwards the famous brigadier-general) and the Caiiccau would have been speedily captured but for the plots of the Tories in the town. Mr. Nathan Goold of Portland, Me., in his excellent history of Brig.-Gen. Samuel Thompson, well says: "The history of Brunswick, Me., states that Thompson's men were mostly young adventurers who afterwards enlisted under Capt. James Curtis. But the men who captured the Margaretta at Machias, Me., a short time after this, were just such men, and their descendants take great pride in their ancestry. The company of Colonel Thompson arrived home on Sunday. On Monday, the 15th of May, the enlistment of the company of Capt. James Curti.s began. On that day Jonathan Johnson and his brother James gladly enlisted in the first company of Harpswell, Me., men. Doctor Wheeler, in his history of Brunswick, etc., calls bis name John Johnson, but the name is clearly .Jonathan in the old records. This company contained three Johnson brothers, as David Johnson enlisted July 17, 1775. The time of enlistment is given as three months,. l)ut in reality it continued until late in October, 1775." l-I JOHNSON GENEALOGY. Of this fompauy Nathan GooUl says: "Capt. James Curtis with his men, arrived at Cambridge, Mass., July 30th, and on Aug. 8th was ordered to Deer Isle, Me., which then had a pop- ulation of about three hundred souls. They were ordered to take six whale boats, three barrels of powder, one thousand pounds weight of ball, five hundred flints and two hundred iiushels of Indian corn or flour. They were given forty shillings advance pay and the town where they might be stationed was to furnish the provisions, for which they were to receive six shillings per week per man. Their duties were to prevent the British from plundering tlie inhabitants of their cattle, sheep, Wood, etc. The soldiers of this company receipted for their advance pay at Cambridge, Mass., Aug. 9, 1775, and so their names have been preserved." This list of fifty-seven soldiers shows the wide influence for liberty of Jonathan Johnson and his brothers. The first lieuten:int of the company was Mark Rogers of Harpswell, Me.; Jacob Curtis of that town was ser- geant and twenty-four other men were from that home town of the Johnsons. The duty to which General Washington assigned these sturdy patriots shows the confidence which he placed in them, for that part of the Maine coast to which they went was not only in danger from British cruisers, but had many Tories of the most desperate character. His faith in the brave deeds which they would accomplish in a short time was well founded. Mr. Nathan Goold continues: "This company of Capt. James Curtis served until the latter part of Oct., 1775, the Capt. being credited with five months and five days service. The men did not stop here in their patriotism, but again entered the army, and many of them had long and honorable service, while some gave all that men can give, their lives, for the cause, and their names are among tlie honored dead of the republic." The children of Jonathan Johnson were all of his first mar- riage with Miriam Booker. (3) Bethiah .lohnson, b. Bailey's Island, Me., March 8, 1777; d. April 15, 1S54; m..

April 15, 1854 (June 20, 1840, says another record). He always lived in the home which he built on Bailey's Island, 1788, a picture of which is here i^iven. He was a very suc- cessful fisherman and a man of very energetic character. He owned the schooners Pilgrim and Traveller, of twenty tims. These were "pinque-storned" vessels. He bought at Glouces- ter, Mass., the Henri/, square-sterned. He had built at Gloucester, Mass., the Armorial, named for his second wife, a schooner of forty tons. His son, Jonathan Johnson, made several trips in her to the Bay of Fundy. David Johnson was captain of a large company of soldiers in Harpswell in the War of 1812; dates of service, June 20-25 and September 19-21, 1814. The tine training which he jiave this company has always been spoken of in the town, and in the historical records. En.slish warships, which had been a terror to that part of the Maine coast, were kept at bay; one boat load which attempted to land on Bailey's Island and secure sheep and provisions being quickly driven to their ship. The names of tlie over sixty men in this company was secured from the treasury department at Washinsiton, D. C, and shows that it was made up of the members of the stur- diest families in Harpswell.

The fir.st spring llowers were blooming on our isijind. The grass was growing on the warm hillside; All nature spoke of life and resurrection WTien this dear mother died. The noisy winds had all been hushed to silence. And hardly murmured then the rising tide; All nature spoke of peace the Savior promised When this dear mother died. The busy hands and tongues of men were silent, The sounds of toil did everywhere subside; All nature spoke of rest, eternal resting. When this dear mother died. Darkness had settled o'er our little island. And scarce a light was anywhere descried; But all the stars told of a h(>avenly i)rightness When this dear mother died. And three white stars shone out almost together That placid evening, moving side by side. And made us think of the three angel children Watching while their mother died. The arms of Christ did long ago enfold them. And He whose love doth evermore abide Kept the living children near where they might comfort Their mother as she died. Oh. husband, bowed beneath your sorrow. Oh, children though your tears you may not hide, Think of these signs of precious, holy helping The night that mother died. Of life, peace, rest, and brightness never clouded, All nature spoke, and then you had beside God's Holy Word with promises so many When your dear mother died. Pain had been hers, but never had she murnnired; In suffering she had not moaned or sighed; That strength sublime comes only by God's helping. And peacefully she died. Oh. may the Savior's love and blessed presence Go with you all, and e'er with you abide; Pray to Him, trust Him, strive to meet the mother Who loved you always — loved you when she died. ClIAI!U;s N.

Mass.. at quite an early date ; he was a college-bred man of great ability and was one of the selectmen of Harpswell. Me., for several years. He is said to have come to Boston. Mass., from (Jlasgow. Scotland, and to have been of a very strong old family. His title, lieutenant, was won in the French and Indian wars. Lieut. Jolm Roduck married in Harpswell, Me., in 1750. INIary Webiier. the d.-iughter of Waitstill Webber and Meribah Ilutcliins. The Roduck family was considered one of the best in Ilariiswell. though it lias non- become so small that but few in tlie country bear the family name. But many of the strong family ch.nracteristics can be found in the descendants of the female lines of the Roducks. Many of the descendants of David Johnson and Jane Roduck were very proud of their Roduck ancestry. liabies wore often carefully scanned to see if they had "the broad thumb-nails like Lieutenant Roduck." If they had inherited these distinc- tive marks a prosperous future was predictetl for tliem. Jane Roduck Johnson was a quiet, loving woman, whose i)raise was in the hearts of all who knew her. Her home was the f.ivorite visiting place for neighbors near and far. After his marriage David Johnson lived awhile at St. George, Me., and then on Hope Island, in Casco Bay. He moved to Bailey's Island in the spring of 1800. The remaining years Avere spent in the old house of which a picture is herewith given. This house is the oldest on Bailey's Island, and one of the oldest in Harpswell. Me. It was built by Tommy Merry- man, who married Sarah Bailey, daughter of Deacon Timothy Bailey, from wliom the island received its name. As Tonnuy IMerryman built the house soon after his marri.Mge on March 26. 1763. its age is quite clear. The rooms were plastered with lime made from mussel shells, which were burned after being brought from Pond Island. David .Tohnson w;is a very successful m;in. and he owned a large jiart of Bailey's Island, with the exception of the Gardiner farm at the north end of the island. His land ran from the west to the east shore of the island, including what was known as Sand Cove Point, where his son. Jose|iii. built his house. It ran south beyond the limits of the C.-ipt. James Sinnett farm. From this that farm was taken, as well as the Jesse I'homas lot. the lot of Perry Alexandei", of Jonathan .Johnson, now owned b.v the Leeni.-ins. and many otiiers. Run- ning east from the cemetery is tlie undividinl lot wiiicli ix'Iongctl to my grandmother, Mary Johnson Sinnett. Lowell's ("ove 32 JOHNSON GENEALOGY. Point, on which for years Capt. James Sinuett carried on such a large fish-clrying business, belonged to David Johnson. He said one day to liis grandsons. David and Hugh Sinnett : "That place will be worth lots of money some day. 1 want you two to have it. Can you work some for it?" Two heads were (luickly nodded in assent. Then the lads fished and dug clams with vigor, and the place became theirs for the sum of fifty dollars, which they had earned. They gave it to their father for the fish-drying business. This incident is given to show how David Johnson strove in all ways to foster industry in his family and among his neighbors. But he was always very gen- erous, though the gifts were made in such a quiet way that not many knew of them. He donated the land for the cemetery- on Bailey's Island, and his son. Ebenezer, was probably the first l)erson who was buried there. It seems fitting that here should rest his ])arents and so many relatives. This cemetery lot was afterwards enlarged by a gift of ('apt. James Sinnett. David Johnson also gave the first schoolhouse on Bailey's Island. Some of the neighbors thought it was too hard work to build one. and that it was best to wait another year, but David said : "I am willing to si)are the porch of my house if you will help haul it in place — then we can have a school right off." So the first school stood near the Sea Bank, not far from the residence of the late Capt. Sinnett Orr. It was put in place in the sum- mer of 1827. and served its purpose well until it was accident- ally burned in the winter of 1838. Not long after David Johnson moved to Bailey's Island, four negroes were sent to him from Virginia as his share of an estate there which was being settled. "Slaves?" said David. "There is nothing of the oppressive spirit in me. Brother Ebenezer. you are soon going South, and you must carry these people back again. I will take the best of care of them until then." His care was so good that when the brother, Ebenezer. was ready to sail for A'irginia, a young negress begged with tears to be allowed to stay in the home. She would work faithfully at any task set her if she could be with such people. "And these dear children and grandchildren," she sobbed, "you do not know how I have come to love them." The children knew it. Tears were on their faces and the thought of parting with this bright girl from the South. So her home was at David Johnson's. Her faithfulness helped over many hard places, and her quick wit has been haud(Hl down in many traditions. The old people have often told me how this negro girl could entertain them for hoyrs when they were children, with songs, stories, and the representation of every peculiar ])erson in the town. She represented many imaginary peo])le, too, Mrs. Tubbs of North Yarmouth being one of these. She had long stories to relate of the trials with Mr. Tubbs and others. As has already been stated, David Johnson enlisted in the Revolutionary Wai-. July 17. 1775. befcu-e he was twenty years of age. Tlie story of the services of himself and his brothers. Jonathan and James, have been given in the first chapter of this book. His patriotism of the truest type was the means of inspiring JOllNSUN GENEALOGY. 38 the same si)irit ia many others. All up and down the .Maine coast ho was known as a man of stci-lini,' inti'fjrity. He was tenderly attached to his children and graudtliildren, and hence many settknl near him. Those who moved to other towns often came to see him. and have handed down his stronj; influences thron.ch many wnerations. Trnly every reader of this book will note with interest the long list of his descend- ants who have been so heli)ful in the world's affairs.

His house on Sand Cove Point. Bailev's Island, was bnilt in 1820. and was occupied by hiin until it was struck by a bolt of lightning many years aher. He then removed to the Phineas Johnson house, nearby, for he felt that this lightning stroke was a warning to him that he should dwell there no longer. Some smiled at this thought, but those were days when signs and warn- ings were a connnon thing, and it is a wtmder that these sturdy peoiile lived the lives they did when so much of this whicli has been termed superstition prevailed. I have a long list of the stories of those days which I copied down when a lad. so that I can fully ai^preciate every noble life which was lived in the midst of the stories of witches and spooks. The raising of the frame of the .Joseph .Tolmson house was one of the great events of that day. I'eople came to it from near and far. Robert Barstow, the poet of Orr's Island, climbed on the ridge pole to sprinkle it with liquor in dedi- <-ation. and said : "He may paint it. and patch it. and make it look gay. And if he don't like he can look the other way." And a shout of applause rang from the crowd. :\I.. Dec. 8, 1810. Susan Foster of Herring Gut. or Thomaston.

JOHNSON GENEALOGY. 59 IN MEMORY OF MBS. CAPT. JOHN BISHOP. By Capt. L. H. Stover. Gone, dear friend, w(> mourn thy loss, God give us strength to bear the cross; With thy husband we shall share The memory of thy life so rare; We can witness to thy worth From thy death back to thy birth, And on earth we seldom find One so loving, tender, kind, In all thy life a constant friend On whom we always could depend; Exhibiting in man-led life The model of a loving wife. A life so filled with kindly deeds Needs no aid from human creeds; Death itself has lost its sting. The grave no victory can sing; Oh, how sweet to those who meet O'er the grave where loved ones sleep, To think that on that other shore We shall meet to part no more. IN MEMORY OF CAPT. .JOHN BISHOP. By Capt. L. H. Stover. Farewell, dear friend, thy work is done. Life's toils are o'er, thy victory won; Thou art gone, and we remain. But our great loss must be thy gain; Thy loving heart by grief distressed. Is with thy loved one now at rest, All thy longing and thy grief Has found in death a sweet relief; E'en deafh itself cannot impair The memory of a life so fair; An honest man, a steadfast friend. Thy noble traits we here commend, Thy lifelong friends their tears restrain. Hoping ere long to meet again On that eternal, mystic shore Where those who greet shall part no more. (4) William II.

He attended the Phillips School, Boston, Mass.. and the Little Blue School, Farmington, Me. ; a very s\i<- cessful newspaper worker; in 1883 he bought and edlteem to others. This was finel.v demonstratefl in the story of how he became a member of the Congregational church at Harpswell Center, Me., of which he was a faithful deacon for many years. I said to him once in his cosey home on Orr's Island. Me. : "How did you decide to unite with the old church .at tin- Center?" "Well. Charlie," he said, with a loving look at the white spire of the church up the hay. "it was because it seemed a plain duty, and my mother had always taught me that when any work seemed very hard it sliowe<1 .a road to great peace of mind and help for others. My father came home one morning with a sad look on his face. 'The oldest member in the Congregational church is dead, and T wonder who can take the i)lace of such a good man.' My fallicr seemed to be looking straight into my heart — .and lie always thought Ralph could do any kind of work. I rose at ouce 64 JOHNSON GENEALOGY. and could oiilv say, 'Father, you are tired, and I will so and pull the lobster traps for you.' He thanked me and let me go without another word. A heavy storm had moved many of the traps out of their places, but I got them all in line again. It was hard work, but all through it I seemed to hear God saying to me, 'Try and straighten the line of the church work.' When I reached home my mind was fully made up. I told my father that I would unite with the church, and was sorry 1 had not done it before. I never dreamed they would choose me deacon of the church later on. I simply wanted to do what was right." The story was told so simply that it touched the hearts of all of us who listened to it. And \vell did I remember how^ Eli.iah Kellog, the pastor of the Center church, had said to me: "He has been a man on whom I could always depend. His help in the church no man can measure. On Orr's Island he and his faithful wife have done all in their power for the Master's cause." Deacon Rali)h Johnson lived on Orr's Island many years, and his house is known far and wide as the "Pearl House," so well described in Mrs. Stowe's "Pearl of Orr's Island." In Loudon I saw some people looking at this picture and saying. "It must have been a homelike place." And I knew that hundreds of people could say. "Amen — and Amen!" M. (first). May 10, 1821.

"Dear Fatiiek, Brothers axd Sisters: These few lines are to inform you tliat I am yet alive, but not in good health at present, on account of the fever sores which I have on my left leg; but that is nothing. Dear friends, I now in- form you that I am now on the Island of St. Catherine's, on the coast of the Breseals. I am now married to my sec- ond wife, and am the father of fifteen children. I have sons and daughters as large as any of you. I have thir- teen children by my first wife, but I have buried nine of my children, and my first wife. I have now living Caro- line, Mary, Samuel, Foster, John and Francisco. Dear friends, take warning of me, and do n't ramble astray, for I am a warning to you in this desolate country, far from home. I have wandered this wide world through. I have been in the Spanish and the Portuguese war, and very badly treated. Dear friends, I long to see you, but it is in vain. God bless all and keep all from dangers. I would give all the world if I could hear from you all, but that is impos- sible. I have sent 27 letters but have never received an answer. Oh, what a pleasure it would be to I'ead one line from my dear friends. Times I dream of you, and times I see you before me. I raise coffee and sugar in abundance. Here are plenty of fish of different qualities. I am well content with these things, but long to see my dear home. You must excuse my writing, for I have almost forgot my own tongue, being so accu.stomed to the Portuguese tongue. This is my love to you all, father, mother, brothers, sis- ters, uncles, aunts, and all friends. Farewell to you and adieu. Your dear son, Charles Johnson." (4) Capt. Abner H. Johnson, b. Great Chebeague Island, Me., Feb. 9, 1817; d. Feb. 22, 1890 (74y.). "He spent his boy- hood days on Hope Island, Me., where his father carried on a grocery and fishing business. When young, he en- tered the United States revenue service on the cutter Nor- ris. He was disabled by being knocked down in a gale. He then left the service and located at Small Point, Me., and was occupied in the fishing business. He moved to Harpswell, Me., in 1861, and remained there four years. He then moved to Portland, Me., where he carried on the fishing and lobster business for about twenty-five years. He was a most faithful worker in the Free Baptist Church for forty years. He was one of the founders of the Sea- man's Sail Loft meetings at Portland, Me., which are still doing great good. His heart was in all his Christian work, and he saw the conversion of many precious souls. His wallet was always quickly opened for help in every worthy cause." He m.

He began th(> scafarin;.' life as a boy of fourteen years, and at twenty-oni' years he was captain of a vessel. Ever after this he followed the sea, depriving himself of the society of his wife and chil- dren, which he so greatly enjoyed, hoping to soon spend all his time at home. Pnn'ious to his last voyage he re- marked that he hoped in a few more years to retire from his constant .sea .service and enjoy the companionship of friends and home. His wife had frequently made voyages with him, but, fortunately, illness prevented her going on this last voyage with her husb.nnd.

I love it, I love it, and who in life's race Will chide me for loving the old fireplace; Its old frame a welcome always extended. From the cold blasts of winter our home it defended. And many chilled hearts in its warm, radiant light Grew hopeful and happy by day and by night. Show me one, if you can, who has known the fireplace, Who has not found relief in its bright, cheerful face When the clouds of despair o'er the soul seemed to hover And the bright spots in life those clouds seemed to cover. Sit down by its side for a half hour or so, And lose your sad thoughts in its bright, healthful glow. SATURDAY NIOHT. Saturday night, and the toil is o'er. The soft breeze stirs at the open door. Wafting sweet thoughts on its scented breath. Speaking of Him who triumphs o'er death; Guiding our minds o'er life's troubled sea Into the realms (if eternity; Speaking in whispers so faint and clear Of a purer life than the one lived here; Bidding us rest from the toil and the strife Besetting our paths through this earthly life. Rest, and give thanks to our God above, Who holds us all in His mighty love; Thanks for the blessings received each day. And a prayer for grace and strength on our way; Lee, Me., June 11, 1870; Lee, Me., Jan. 18, 1890, Lee, Me., Jan. 13, 1872; 88 JOHNSON GENEALOGY. Love towards our enemies, peace in our homes.

"He followed the sea from the age of nine years until he was forty-one years old. He then purchased an interest in the parafine "oil works five miles from Batli.^ate, St-otland. After two years he sold out this interest and moved to Liverpool, England, engag- ing in the ship chandlery and sail-making business. Two years after this, with Capt. Alfred Skolfield of Brunswick, Me., he established a ship's ai;cncy liusiness, which is still carried on in Liverpool, England, under the name Ross, Skolfield & Co." His successes were marked and his noble wife was his constant companion and helper. Capt. .James Ross, .Jr., was the only son of Capt. .James Ross, who was b. at Brunswick, Me., March 27. 1785 and d. in New York City, Nov. 15, 1823 (38y.). Though his life was such a short one it was filled with successful work .along many lines, and marked by good deeds, the memory of wliich is still cherished. He m., June 23, 1813, Hannah Dunning, b. Brunswick, Me., June 1, 1790; d. Aug. 15, 1839 (49y.). She was the daughter of David Dunning, Jr., and Elizabeth Hunt; granddaughter of Lieut. James Dunning and Martha Lithgow, and great-granddaughter of Ancestor Andrew Dun- ning and Susan Bond, all these lines showing thai Capt. James Ross was descended from the sturdiest old settlers of Brunswick, Me. (The only sister of Capt. James Ross, Jr., w.as Hannah Ross, who m. [first], Abner Melcher and [.second!, William Penly, and was a woman of great worth.) Capt. James Ross, Jr.. was the grandson of William Ross and his wife. Jennett. both of whom are buried in the old cemetery at Brunswick, Me. The great-grandfather of Capt. James Ross, Jr., was no doubt the William Ross who, 1741, owned lot No. 24, not fiir fi'om thi> old church at Brunswick, Me. Nothing more of certainty has been found in regard to this first William Ross, but the descendants have always claimed a sturdy Scotch ancestry, and tht- hardy and enterprising charactcM" of the descend.-ints bear out this assertion. Since the first William Ross lived side by side with the noblest of the early settlers of Brunswick. Me., such as the Dunnings, Spears, Finneys, etc., all of whom came from the north of Ireland in the famous Scotch-Irish colony of Rev. William Boyd, it setMUs clear that the Ross family came wilii these chosen and li.ardy people. Outside of the family, writers have attempted to tr.ace the Ross line to the James Ross who was at Falmouth (now Portland), Me., in 1GG2; but the arguments only seem to show a connection between these families across the sea. !»4 JOHNSON GENEALOGY. Wbatover may have been the descent, the members of the Ross family through all generations have shown a sturdy and kindly power among men, and a wonderful success in varied lines of usefulness on sea and land. Their patriot- ism is clearly shown in the fact that in Brunswick, Me., in the famous 1812 War, Company of Capt. Richard T. Dun- lap appear the names of James Ross'', John Ross, Robert Ross- and William Ross". Tiie most famous teacher in Harpswell, Me., in the days of my grandparents, was Aunt Sallie Ross, b. Brunswick, Me., April 21, 1790, and who was a sister of the father of Capt. James Ross, Jr. The memo- ries of her fine teaching and noble Christian character are still cherished in the old town by the sea.

May our faith be like that of the good Hebrew Daniel, Who was the most faithful of those of his day; Throu^'h Christ he endured many vile persecutions, From his faithful I.x)rd he'd not turn away. It seems that now by their human inventions They had given commands he should cease to pray; But despite of all their wicked intentions He called on his Savior three times a day. He did not retire into dark place and secret. Towards Jerusalem his windows were open then, As for the commandment he never would keep it, He feared not the king, nor the fierce lions' den. He was firm to his trust and he would not give over. Through God he defeated each wicked plan, He believed there was strength in the arm of Jehovah, He had no faith in the weak hand of man. They make new arrangements, and call for assistance To bear him away to a lonely place; He gave himself up without sign of resistance. Still calling on God with l)elief in His grace. They bear him away to yon lonely cavern, Aiul now lower him down to that fearful hole; But it seemed unto him like a little Heaven. With glory in view, and with Christ in bis soul. He now finds himself in the den with the lions. And feels that he's standing upon holy ground; He soon breaks the silence with an old song of Zion, And makes the whole cavern with praises resound. The night passes on, and the morning is breaking. The king rises early and starts on his way. His path to the prison of Daniel he's making To see if he lives and continues to pray. With trembling step from a past recollection The king is approaching, and now bear him say, "Oh. Daniel! Oh, Daniel! bast thou found protection? Hast thy God delivered, and dost thou still pray?" "Yes; God has been with me, and I am not fearful, His presence I've found, and my faith is the same; And now I am trustful, I'm happy as ever. My God has come down, and the lions are tame. Ob. king, there's no danger, no shadow of trouble. While praying to God, by night or by day, Though lions might roar and my foes be redoubled. At the word of the Lord they would all calm away." "Come up, thou good Hebrew; thou shalt have my favor; Now let it be published and sounded abi'oad. Beside Daniel's God there is no other Savior; Let all come and worship the brave Hebi-ew's God." M.
