Descendants of William Johnson Generation 1 1. WILLIAM1 JOHNSON was born on 20 Oct 1807 in Weaverthorpe, East Yorkshire, England1, 2, 3, 4. He died about 18955. He married (1) ELIZABETH ROADHOUSE on 02 Apr 1832 in St James Anglican, Toronto, ON, CA6, 7. She was born on 19 Jul 1813 in Monk Fryston, Yorkshire, England8, 9, 10. She died on 28 Apr 1889 in At home in Dixie, Toronto Twp., Peel Co., ON, CA11. He met (2) MARY BELL. She was born about 1817 in England12, 13. She died before 1900. Notes for William Johnson: In an e-mail, dated Oct 20, 2001, 7:20 PM (EMAI0034) (with some editting for clarity, Bill Cosway makes the following points): In the 1861 census William (b. 1807) was living with his wife and three children, namely Elizabeth, John & William. In the 1871 Census William (b. 1807) was NOT included in the household with his wife Elizabeth, two of their children, namely John and William. Their daughter Elizabeth married Neriah Roadhouse just after the 1861 census was taken. In the 1881 census none of the people with the surname of Johnson was living in the Dixie home built by William (b. 1807). The home was occupied by the daughter Elizabeth, her husband Neriah Roadhouse and their children. William (b. 1846) was now married and living in Sandwich Twp., Essex County with his wife, two children & his mother (Elizabeth Roadhouse). William (b. 1807) is NOT listed with either of the families in Dixie or Essex. In Bill Cosway's paper files, there are three items that support that William (b. 1807) had left his family: 1. One states that William Sr. left his wife as a "grass widow" and took off with a Mrs. Giles ? 2. In a 1894 local paper it states for the Dixie community that William Johnson has returned home AGAIN. From this, BillI concludes that he came & went as he pleased, which may have been often. 3. There are also copies of documents regarding the purchase of additional lands to the original land in Dixie, one in 1889 is a law suit between William (b. 1807) & his wife Elizabeth Roadhouse & it states that William Johnson's (b. 1807) residence was Detroit Mich. and his occupation was a food vendor. Family stories have NEVER mentioned any of this taking place, instead, they all told that the Johnson family ALWAYS lived in Dixie. So Bill's conclusion is that family lore is sometimes what family wants to PASS DOWN which is the NICE THINGS IN LIFE. Things that SHOULD be and NOT what necessarily is true.
