Lewis and Amanda Johnson

Lewis Robert Jr. & Amanda Johnson had five children Mary, Andrew, Levi, Abigail, and Zilpha Jane.

TIMELINE
1800 - Lewis was born in the state of Vermont
1814 – Amanda Gates was born in Vermont
1820 – Residence Rupert, Bennington, Vermont
1835 – From "A History of Berrien and Van Buren Counties, Michigan"
Lewis originally came from New York leading a cow and carrying an axe. His wife, Amanda, was carrying a bundle of clothing—their sole possessions.
From the same resource it states, “On one occasion they (the wolves) held meeting to such good purpose as to carry off two stray calves belonging to Lewis Johnson.”
1844 - Amanda died August 10, 1844, in Lawrence, Michigan
1860 – Residence Hamilton, Van Buren County, Michigan
1872 – Levi died on July 13, 1872 in Hamilton, Van Buren County, Michigan

Lewis’ parents were Lewis Robert Johnson and Abigail Lord
Lewis Sr. was born in Vermont in 1780
Abigail was born in Connecticut in 1780. Abigail died May 30, 1879 in Lawrence, Michigan at the age of 99

This ends my search on the Johnson side; no more information was found.
