Surnames: Johnson, Chase, London
JOHNSON, Jeremiah Gagetown Loyalist believed to have been born in Connecticut, USA abt 1760. He married Charlotte Chase, d/o Loyalist Reuben Chase, abt 1795 in Gagetown, though no marriage record has been located. Attempts to track Jeremiah & Charlotte have been unsuccessful, so I am looking for information on their children. I have information on daughter Salome, born 1797, Gagetown, married John LONDON 1814 in Gagetown. Seeking any info on other daughters: Mary JOHNSON - born abt 1795, Gagetown, Mahala JOHNSON - born abt 1796, Gagetown, And son: William JOHNSON - born abt 1801, Gagetown I have no other info on these children. Any info is welcome.

*EDITED POST* Jeremiah was born 1756 in Fairfield,Connecticut according to the Barbour Collection.He was the (youngest?)son of Nathaniel JOHNSON and Sarah NICHOLS,and had at least two older brothers:Joseph(b.1750)and Solomon(b.1753).

Nathaniel was the son of Timothy JOHNSON and Abigail BREWSTER;I believe Sarah may have been the daughter of Solomon NICHOLS and Mary STONE but I have been unable to confirm this. I have noticed other NICHOLS marriages of African-American descent in the Barbour Collection as well,which makes me wonder if Sarah herself was coloured. She and Nathaniel married between 1749 and 1750 in Connecticut.

Timothy was the son of Col.Ebenezer JOHNSON and Hannah Holbrook;Ebenezer was the son of Peter JOHNSON(c.1615-c.1650)and his wife Elizabeth(surname unknown). In some sources Peter is listed as a "Dutchman";his origins are not confirmed,though some say England.
