General Notes: Husband - Rev. Jehoiada Pitt Johnson

---

He was born at the time "the animated discussions preceding the Revolution were going on, and the elder Pitt was thundering his anathemas in parliament." His father named him Jehoiada-Knowledge of God-and Pitt in honor of the great orator. He was five years old when the Rev. Jacob assumed the Wilkes-Barre pastorate. He took a deep interest in the controversy going on between Connecticut and Pennsylvania over Wyoming, and in 1784, when but seventeen, he took sides with the Connecticut settlers in the Pennamite war. Miner says he was arrested at Wilkes-Barre on the charge of treason, with about one hundred others, some of whom were sent to jail in Northumberland and Sunbury. Jehoiada P. was an active business man. He removed to Laurel Run (now Parsons), from Wilkes-Barre, about 1810, and erected there in that year a grist mill which he owned and operated successfully for many years. He was interested in the business and educational life of the township. He was poormaster in 1799, the only public office he ever held.
