| Birth |
Bef 1801 [4] |
- The earliest record of George Johnson is the tax rolls of 1822 in the parish of St Andrews. Since he was assessed, he would have been at least 21 years of age, putting his birth before 1801. His age was first mentioned explicitly in the 1851 census. That year he claimed to be 52 years old, making his birth about 1799. These facts suggest he was the son born to Samuel Johnson and Mary Glidden after their marriage in 1798 and before the census 1800. The only inconsistency is that George Johnson gives New Brunswick as his birthplace both in the 1851 census and the 1861 census.

It is conceivable that Freeman Johnson is George Johnson's son. I think it is less likely that Emeline Johnson, who was born about 1854, was his daughter though. I think it is more probable that she is the daughter of Freeman Johnson and perhaps Elizabeth Johnson.
