LEWIS JOHNSON, farmer, P. O. West Jefferson, son of Jacob and grandson of Michael Johnson, was born in Jefferson Township, Madison County, April 29, 1820. He was raised to farm life, and assisted in the pioneer duties of supporting his father's family. He remained at home until 1844, when he married Eliza Gardner, by whom he has had six children, four now living, and married, viz., Mary J., wife of J. W. Booth; Margaret A., wife of Calvin Bradley; Joseph H. and Luther W. The two latter both married daughters of Samuel Biggert, of Georgesville. Lewis Johnson, himself one of Jefferson Township's pioneer representatives, has always worked hard, and now owns a good farm of 243 acres. He has for a number of years been connected with the School Board. He is favorably inclined to all improvements of the county or township. Mrs. Johnson is a daughter of Joseph and Jane (Thompson) Gardner, natives of Ross County, Ohio, where she was born January 15, 1829. From eleven years of age, her parents resided in Madison County, where she still lives. Her mother now resides with her, but her father died in Illinois. Mrs. Johnson's mother is a grand-daughter of Margaret (Tiffin) Gardner, sister to the first Governor of Ohio.
