Biography

Research Notes

There are currently no good sources for this profile.

Ira's birth date of before 1745 is based on his son Ira having married in 1784.[1]

Ira has previously and wrongly been shown as grandfather of Maurice Johnson who died in 1551. A Google search for "Ira Johnson Abigail Furbush" shows how widespread the mistake about Maurice Johnson's parents is on trees on the web. Ira and Abigail are also erroneously given as parents in two books which are really write-ups by people of (essentially unsourced) family trees: My Mother's Branch:The Lineage and Life of Carrie Viola Reeves and Her Family by Doyle W Williams[2] and Campbell Tree by Harold Campbell.[3] The latter also names the Ira Johnson of this profile and Ambrosia Smith as Maurice's grandparents. There is fuller discussion on Maurice Johnson's profile.

Dates on this profile - 1434-1478 - are centuries out. I will be amending it very soon.
