    Margaret Johnson was born in a blockhouse within a stockade, in Pennsylvania, August 1777, and died in Henry County, Indiana, January 23, 1875, at the age of ninety-eight years. A stockade was an inclosure for the protection of live stock, made of large posts pointed at the top and planted close together in a line surrounding a strong wooden fort called a blockhouse, where the pioneers, in time of danger from Indians, assembled from their homes, taking their stock and valuables and remaining until the danger was over.
