General Notes (Husband)
2. Isaac Johnson (John1). Died on 19 Dec 1675.
Isaac was the eldest son of Captain John (1), and came to this country with his father. He was made a Freeman March 4, 1635. He was a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1645, and was chosen its Captain in 1667. He was Captain of the Roxbury Company in the Narragansett Expedition, and was killed at the head of his company in the famous Fort Fight on December 19, 1675, (near Four Corners, Sakonnet River, Rhode Island, Ed.). He was an original donor of the Free School.
From John Johnson Genealogy, citing History of Hingham:
Among those companies in the Indian War was on e commanded by Capt. Isaac Johnson of Roxbury (Humphrey's brother) already a distinguished officer, who had led a company of preying Indians in the earlier days of the conflict. He was known as the brave Captain Johnson, and in his command, it was the good fortune of a part of the men from our town (Hingham) to serve."
Illustration caption: (from an old wood cut of the attack on the Indians) Captain Isaac Johnson was Killed in the "Great Swamp Fight" Dec. 19, 1675, "gallantly leading his men across the fatal tree-bridge at the entrance to the Fort".... "the companies of Captain Davenport and Johnson came first to this place.... Johnson fell dead at the log,"... "in the bloodiest battle of Colonial history." (see "Mass. Archives.")

In December, 1636, an act was passed which definitely accomplished this result. One of these included the companies of Boston, Roxbury, Dorchester, Weymouth, and Hingham, with John Winthrop as Colonel, Thomas Dudley as Lieutenant Colonel" (and Isaac (2) Johnson as Captain).
SML Comment: The battle took place in South Kingstown, not "near Four Corners, Sakonnet River, Rhode Island" as the author states.
He served as a representative to the Massachusetts General Court.
He married Elizabeth Porter, daughter of Adrian Porter & Elizabeth Allott, on Jan 20, 1636/7 in Roxbury, Mass. Died Roxbury, Mass., on 13 Aug 1683.

General Notes (Husband)
Only seven months after birth of last John, and I couldn't find a record of this birth; one has to wonder if two births occurred. They are both reported in Captain John Johnson Genealogy. In one place I have a note about an invention by Pope.
