General Notes: Husband - Robert Johnson


The New Haven, Wallingford, Johnsons, emigrated from England to America about 1638, the year in which there came from England twenty ships and at least three thousand persons. Among them were three brothers: John, Robert and Thomas Johnson, who came from Kingston-on-Hull and landed at Boston. They were Puritans under the leadership of Ezekiel Rogers, a graduate of Cambridge, and a clergyman of Rowley, in Yorkshire, England. He and many of his followers settled on the coast of Massachusetts Bay and called their new town Rowley, after their old home in England. The three Johnsons left Rogers at Boston and repaired to the colony of New Haven, Connecticut, where Thomas and Robert permanently settled, John, however, after a year or two in New Haven returned to Rowley.
