John Johnson Marsh was the youngest son of Col. William Marsh and his wife Sarah French, born in Dorset, Vt, probably early in 1784 (not so old as he claimed). He inherited Col Marsh's Dorset lands and lived in Vermont (mostly) until the 1840s. Col Marsh was a rebel turned Lolyalist and most of his children came to live in the Quinte area of Ontario. Johnson came up on occasion, but was active in Vermont well into the 1840s. He secured land on the basis of his father's Loyalism in 1839, but sent his son, John Sprague Marsh to open the land. I have a lot on Johnson (named for Sir John Johnson, Loyalist general). Right now I am trying to locate his grave.
