General Notes: Husband - Col. Richard C. Johnson


He received a district school education, and came to Crawford County, Pennsylvania, in February, 1832, settling in Spring Township.

He was a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity, being a member of Lodge No. 234, of which he was Worshipful Master for several terms; he was also Presiding Officer of the Chapter, and was first High Priest. He was elected Master of Conneaut Grange in 1874; re-elected in 1875; appointed District Deputy for Crawford County by D. B. Mauger, Master of the State Grange of Pennsylvania; was elected Master of Crawford County, Pomona Grange, in 1877; appointed Deputy at Large for the State of Pennsylvania in March, 1877, by Col. Victor E. Piolett, who was then Master of State Grange. Politically, the Colonel was Democratic; served as Deputy Sheriff under Charles F. Adams; was for ten years or more Superintendent of the canal; served as Mail Agent for the New York & Erie Railroad for two years. He served in the Militia from an early day, and rose to the rank of Colonel, and on the outbreak of the late Rebellion he promptly took sides with his country, raised a company of cavalry, of which he was elected Captain, and was assigned to the Second Pennsylvania Cavalry. He served until 1862, when he resigned.

He had children with his second wife, but none were still living in 1885.
