Biography

Mr. and/or Davy Johnson migrated about 1630, perhaps on the Mary & John,[1][2] settling in Dorchester, Massachusetts. He was freeman 18 May 1631; assessed for 20 feet of rail, based on one cow, 3 April 1633; and granted lot # 15 of 6 acres in the meadow beyond Neponset, late 1634 or early 1635. "Mrs. Johnson that was" (implying she remarried) was granted one acre of meadow 27 June 1636.[1]

This implies his death between about 1634, between his grant and that of his wife. Note that Anderson makes no attempt to give Johnson an estimated birth.[1]

His wife's name is unknown, even her given name. As a matter of fact most of the records refer to him as Mr. (a term of respect) Johnson. He is referred to once as Davy and once as David. Neither of these records is connected to Dorchester or calls him Mr. Anderson raises the question that it might be two men. But it is too uncertain and David Johnson was dead by 1 March 1635/6 and Mr. Johnson by 27 June 1636.[1]

He had no recorded children.[1]
