Thomas Johnson was a farmer, carpenter, surveyor, constable, Lieutenant, Church
representative, and representative of the General Court.

(The First three Generations of Holts in America (B13c7) p. 205

Mary Johnson daughter of Nicholas and Elizabeth Short Holt was born in Newbury
6 Oct 1683.  She was the first child of Nicholas to marry and hers was one of
the first 10 marriages in Andover, Mass.  Her daughter Mary was the first
grandchild of Nicholas Holt and the first Johnson child born in Andover.

Mary Holt married 5 July 1667, (by Simon Bradstreet) to thmas Johnson who at
hte age of 4 came on the ship "James" in 1635 with his father, John Johnson,
later known as "Haverhill John."

Thomas Johnson, son-in-law of Nicholas Holt was a busu man, a farmer,
carpenter, surveyor, constable, lieut, church member, and father of a large
family.  When Thomas Johnson was about 14 years old, a law was passed that all
youth from 10 to 16 shall be instructed by one of the officers of the band or
some other experienced soldier in the exercise of arms or small arms, half
pikes, and bows and arrows.  The Johnsons and their neighbor's boys met for
practice.

In 1674, Thomas was made sargeant of the militia and later lieut.  He was
elected constable.  He was a surveyor from 1676 to 1696.

While he was not among those summoned to appear in the witchcraft trials, it is
an honor to him that his name, his son Thomas Jr. and Wife Mary appear on the
petition for the release of the accused.

Thomas and Mary H. Johnson lived on the road leading from Ipswich to
Billericia.

Thomas died in the flames when his house burned.

About 1673, a Dr. Return Johnson, later of Medfield, Mass. came to Andover from
Hampton, Hew Hampshire and married a niece, Mary Johnson of Andover.  We hopeto sometime connect John of Ipswich and Andover with both the grandparents of
Dr. Return, also with the parents of Robert of New Haven, COnn. and to discover
where all the choldren of Hohn were born between 1635 and 1659, in which there
is a great gap in history.

(The first Three Generations of Holts in America B13c7)
   Mary Johnson, eldest daughter of Thomas-is Return's eldest brother- and Mary
Holt Johnson was born
at Andover 11 Feb 1659.  She barely passed her 14th year when on 17 Sept. 1673,she married Return Johnson of Andover, Mass.

Return took the oath of allegiance in Andover 11 Feb 1678.
