  1. 8.  Edmond JOHNSON was born about 1610 in Ratcliff, Stephny, Middlesex, England; was christened on 16 Apr 1610 in Ratcliff, Stepney, Middlesex, England (son of Edward JOHNSON and Ysabell (Elizabeth) LLEWELLEN); died on 10 Mar 1650 in Hampton, Norfolk County, Massachusetts Colony.

    Notes:

    Edmund came to the colonies in 1635 and ended up in Hampton, Norfolk County, Massachusetts Colony. That part of Massachusetts became New Hampshire in 1680.

    What was to become New Hampshire's first residents were fisherman along the coast and resided there part-time starting in 1623. All of New Hampshire was part of Massachusetts until 1680. Hampton, where he lived, was one of 4 coastal towns in New Hampshire in those days.

    He would have likely entered the colonies through Massachusetts. According to "New England, the Great Migration" and "North America, Family Histories", he and his wife came on "The James" which embarked from London, England. He was age 23. He was a carpenter by trade. His first residence was Newbury, Essex, Mass. They moved to Hampton, Mass. in 1639.

    He had acquired 110+ acres in Hampton, Mass. by the time he died in 1650. That land became New Hampshire in 1680.

    The closest birth I've found to his age given when they came to the colonies in for an Edmond who was baptized in Middlesex, England somewhat close to where he and his wife departed from. That is my current theory as to his parentage. His age of 23 could easily have been misinterpreted if he was listed at age 25 in poor handwriting.

    Edmond married Mary JOHNSON COLEMAN. Mary was born on 25 May 1615 in Wiltshire, England; died on 30 Jan 1663 in Hampton, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, United States of America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
