  • Notes 
    • Killed in battle
      John Johnson was a member of Capt. Levi Spalding's company of minute men, which left for Cambridge four days after the battle of Lexington, and took part in the battle of Bunker Hill. Tradition is that he carried off the field his brother-in-law David Carleton who was mortally wounded. He was in the campaign in NY in the winter of 1776 and likely died in service.
