David K. Johnson
David K. Johnson, the only son of twelve children of Abner Johnson, of New Jersey, came here in 1809. Abner Johnson was born in the year 1759, hauled government supplies for Washington's army during the war, and with the script made in that way purchased part of Judge Symmes' tract, near Ross, in Butler county, on which farm David K. Johnston still lives. Mr. Johnson is now in the eightieth year of his age; has been blind eleven years, but otherwise is hale and hearty. He has been successful in shipping much produce in his line to New Orleans, out of which he has made money. He was married in 1831 to Miss Elizabeth Hedges. The Johnson family, with but few exceptions, lived to the good old age of eighty, and upwards.
