"3. Daniel Johnson, b. Branford, Conn., 14 Mar. 1727/8, d. Wolcott, Conn. in 1797 (the section which had been part of Southington, Conn., before Wolcott was incorporated in 1796); … Daniel Johnson was of Branford when he bought in 1759 from Ebenezer Barnes [Farmington Deeds 12:26], the land being in Southington Parish which in 1779 became a separate town and in the section which later became part of Wolcott. In 1771 Daniel and Bathsheba Johnson of Farmington with Gad Pond of Wallingford conveyed part of the farm on which their deceased father Moses Pond had dwelt [Branford Deeds 9:242]. In 1795 Daniel Johnson, Jr., of Southington, gave a life lease of land to Daniel Johnson and Bathsheba Johnson, husband and wife [Southington Deeds 4:417].
Daniel Johnson called himself of Southington when he made his will in 1792 but actually was of Wolcott when it was proved in 1797 [Waterbury Prob. 2:348]. He mentioned his wife, and named sons Daniel and Joel, and daughters Jerusha wife of Cyrus Norton, Deborah wife of Jabez Harrison, Hannah wife of Walter Wilmot, and Mary wife of Timothy Upson."
