Biography

Charles was born in 1780. He passed away in 1806. "Charles Robert Johnson died intestate in Rockland County, N.Y. in or about 1807, leaving his widow Ann and the following children: by his first wife, his son John Johnson and daughter, Theresa, who married Patrick R. Cruise, and by his second wife, his son Joseph Johnson and his daughter Lucy Johnson, who afterwards married Stephen Marsh." ^[1] A letter of Administration was granted to Jacob Wood for the estate of Charles Robert Johnson on 8 Aug 1807.^[2]

Research Notes

There are reportedly records of this family, that may link John Johnson (abt.1720-aft.1793) and a son Charles, perhaps this man. These records, reported by Leggett,^[3] are not apparently freely available on Family Search^[4][5] Charles is shown as the son of John Johnson (abt.1720-aft.1793) in a family tree in an architectural study of Johnson family homes. It also shows Charles's son John and daughter Theresa, while omitting the two children from his second wife, Ann.^[6] This relatively unsourced genealogy gives the children of John Johnson and Catherine Nangle, including eighth child and seventh son, Charles Robert.^[7]
