Misc. Notes
daughter of William & Mary Johnson
Listed as married 40 years, with 2 children, both living and born Oct 1834 in 1900 census. It lists her and both parents as being born in Penn.
The Licking Co Probate death record lists her as being born in PA, occupation - farmer, death in Washington Twp at age 72 yrs, 5 mos, 15 days of “brain trouble”. It lists her parents as William Johnson and Mary McFadden (who were living next to them in 1860). I had 1906 from probate record and 1907 from cemetery record - the latter would agree with census and age at death. Obit says it was 1907 which is verified by the day/date combination.
Birth/death dates from Eden Cemetery (1834-1907).
A son and daughter preceded her in death.
