Notes par Hannah Godshall Johnson

Note: N5273 THE SOLDIERS AT JOHN JOHNSON'S. Mathias Jantz, or Johnson, emigrated to America about 1730, or perhaps earlier, and settled on a farm of 185 acres in Franconia township, just back of Franconiaville.now Elroy, which he bought of John and Elenor Williams on February 28, 1735 or 1736. He left it by will dated June 20, 1750, to his son John, who had the following twelve children: Mathias, John Jr., Henry, Abraham; Elizabeth, married Valentine or Felty Anderson, and was the mother of old Mollie Price, the widow of Daniel Price and the mother of Rev. Henry A. Price. Next was Fanny; she never was married. Annie married Jakob Grubb, father of the eminent Mennonite preacher, John Grubb; Mollie married Peter Johnson; Hannah married Valentine or Felty Clemmer. Then came Veronica, who was never married; then Catharine, married to Abraham Benner; Feige, the twelfth, was likewise never marked. The above last-mentioned Mathias, Jr.'s son, John Johnson, was the father of my uncle, Samuel Johnson, who died July n, 1873, aged 80 years, 8 months and 24 days. He was also the father of Eli, Tobias and Henry Johnson and of Mary Johnson, wife of John Funk, who lived near the Skippack, east of Mainland. But of more importance is the fact that the first-mentioned John Jantz, or Johnson, Sr., was in good circumstances and a notable patriot in the cause of freedom during the American Revolution. So after the unfortunate battle of Germantown a part of the American army was dispersed and for a while loitered along the Skippack and Towamencin creeks, during which time many of the sick and wounded were quartered in farm houses through the country, and as this Mr. Jantz was such a friend to the cause of freedom he freely opened his large, and for those times very commodious house, to receive such. Consequently several- wagon loads were brought there, with a nurse to take care of them. Besides these he boarded ten officers or soldiers of the regular army for a while, during which time General Washington had his quarters on what has long been known as the Wampole farm, formerly Lukens', near the Skippack, about one and one-half miles south of Jantz's place, and often associated with them while there. After being there for some time there was an alarm that the English were approaching, which caused such a consternation that all who could fled towards Oley, with all the doctors in the vicinity. Mr. Jantz and his daughter remained and assisted so much in waiting on the sick, who had the camp fever, that they also took sick with it. Mr. Jantz died soon after. Fanny suffered from the effects of it for a long time, beyond description. It is said that her whole body was so stiff that no limb or joint would bend, and she could not be raised up without standing her on her feet, and no doctor was within reach to attend her. In this terrible condition she was conveyed on a rudely constructed litter all the way from beyond Elroy to the doctors at Oley for medical attendance. She recovered against all expectation and finally died near Doylestown, at an advanced age, of cancer in the face. Content from Google Book Search, generated at 1488047029327453 To accommodate these soldier boarders, who had a great deal of writing to do, Mr. Johnson had a fine cherry table with carved legs made for them by Han Jakob Hagey, an ingenious carpenter who lived close by, upon which they ate and wrote while at his house. This table was carefully preserved in the family as an heirloom, and in 1882 was in possession of his granddaughter, Mrs. Mollie A. Price. The table is so good yet that it scarcely shows being used, although over 100 years old. Mrs. Price died November 21, 1886, aged nearly 90 years. The table was sold with her other effects at public sale on January 15, 1887, and was bought by Gustav Egolf. of Norristown, for $4.50.
