"Michael Milton had three sons, Richard, Michael Jr. and John. Michael died in 1713. Richard the eldest son died 1733. Michael Jr. records cease 1757-58 indicating he died about that time age 58. His son John (the copy is not clear if this is Michael's son John or Michael Jr.'s) had four sons, John, Charles, Thomas, and James. . . After the war (Rev. War) Charles and 2 brothers moved to Kentucky locating in Madison Co. in 1792. He moved to Washington Co. in 1800 where in December 1804 his eldest son John married Mary Ann Lasswell. John Milton and his wife Mary Ann were present at marriage of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks June 12, 1806. John served in militia Hardin Co. in War of 1812. In 1814 John died and in 1815 his widow Mary Anne married Mathew Johnson (the copy says Johnston). Sometime after 1822 Mary Ann Johnston moved to Perry Co, Indiana together with members of the Lasswell family. Her family then consisted of sons Richard and Eli Milton, and several sons and daughters of Mathew Johnston by his previous marriage. In 1833 Mary Anne married Daniel McLaughlin, descendant of Charles McLaughlin of Bedford County, VA."

Will of a Mary Johnson
A will of a Mary Johnson. I don't know if she fits in my line of Johnsons or not, but it is interesting to note all of the familiar names in the family she mentions in her will.
Washington Co, KY, Will Book E, page 142:
Mary Johnson June 3, 1833
July 22, 1833
Item one: I give to my brother James Johnson of Maryland two hundred dollars and to his daughter Jane Johnson one hundred dollars.
Item two: to Elizabeth Caroline Johnson of Maryland I give one hundred dollars.
Item three: I lend to Joseph F. Johnson my negro girl Mary until his daughter Treacy Ann Johnson arrives to the age of twenty one years. I then give to said Treacy Ann the negro girl Mary with her off springs provided said Joseph F. Johnson pays his brother Doneick one hundred and fifty dollars towards the discharge of my debts.
Item four: if the above named fifty dollars should not be sufficient to discharge my debts I wish the balance to be discharged out of the hundred dollars my brother Ignatius F. Johnson now had in his possession and the remainder of the hundred dollars after discharging my debts to be given to William Johnson son of Ignatius.
I appoint my brother Ignatius Johnson and George Clements executors of this my last will, etc.

Letter re: Mary Ann Lasswell Milton Johnson, wife of Matthew Johnson
Excerpts from a letter received by my grandmother from: Loretta Niemeier, 23 Feb 1980:
"I wrote to a Walter S. Milton who is a descendent of Mary Ann Milton Johnson McLaughlin. I had found where she stood for one of the Milton children so know then I had the right one. He lives in Knoxville, TN. Mary Ann's maiden name was Lasswell, sometimes Laswell and Lacefield. She had married John Milton 22 Dec 1804 in Washington Co., KY. They had two children Richard B., Sept 1811, and Eli born 1813. Therefore only 2 of the children were hers so she and Matthew had at least 5 children on the 1830 census. After she married McLaughlin, them moved to Warrick Co., IN."
He thinks that Matthew may have been in Madison Co. before he came to Hardin since the Miltons and Laswells were there about 1800.
He stated at settlement of estate of John Milton in addition to Matthew Johnston there was also a Joseph Johnston, settled 15 Jan 1815. He also feels "Johnston" is the original name. He said the Laswells were Loyalists who came from Maryland to North Carolina then to Kentucky through Virginia. Sure leaves a lot of territory to cover. He also sent a sheet on the Lewis Jenkins - Ann Johnson family. He was born [in] St. Mary's Co., Maryland. It seemed there were a lot of Johnson-Jenkins marriages. Maybe they were all from there originally.
One more thing! Here is a 1830 Perry Co. Census I failed to enclose with my original list:
Joseph Johnson Males: 1 <5;>

Females: 1 5-10; 2 10-15; 1 30-40
I had him on the 1840 census. He is probably a son of Matthew and the one at the settlement of John Milton."
