Daniel
Johnson (1759) - (1840)
Daniel
was born about 1759/1760 in Connecticut, and was
a Revolutionary War soldier. He had enlisted and
served for a short period, and then re-enlisted
again, serving throughout all six campaigns. As a
young boy he was bound out and at the expiration
of his indenture, he received a yoke of three
year old oxens, and his wife, Mary (Norton) who
had also been bound out in childhood, received
beds and bedding.
In
1799, Daniel visited his brother Joel in the
wilds of New York in what later became known as
Guilford, and having foresight for the great
posibilities of the uncultivated country, he
purchased a tract of land, 160 acres, which
joined his brother's property and there built a
log house. He returned to Connecticut and the
following year moved his family to their new home
where he lived on his farm for forty years until
his death - dying at the age of eighty in about
1840. (Speculated he may have been buried at Ives
Settlement)
