Facts and Events
There is no evidence to support the parents shown for Mary Johnson. This is pure fantasy. Mary Johnson was born in Trevor Issa, Wales and was the grand-daughter of Edmund Johnson. He, along with 6 of his children, drowned while on a boating trip in Ponty Pool, Wales, in 1600. The only surviving child was Mary's father, John who was 12 years old when this happened. He had stayed home with his mother during this family outing. John Johnson was a successful farmer in Wales. He had at least 3 children, Edmund, Mary and John. Edmund settled in Hampton, New Hampshire in 1635. Mary married Joseph Peasley and settled in Haverhill, Mass, while John remained in England where he became a noted Quaker and a companion of George Fox. "Passel O'Peasley's" by Frederick Lamphere; Vol 2 page 7 Mary Johnson, daughter of a farmer, possessed a considerable wordly estate. She outlived her husband, Joseph, bt over 30 years. |
