William Mason Johnson, farmer, P. 0. Millersburg, was born in the room in which he now lives, and was the youngest child of Jonathan and Rachel (Dills) Johnson; she, a daughter of Isaac Dills of Harrison County. Jonathan Johnson was a native of Pennsylvania, born in May, 1790, and was brought by his parents to "Irish Station" when eight years of age; his father, Laban, was the earliest settler in the section where the subject (William Mason Johnson) now lives.

Jonathan was, for a time, a resident of Scott County and married and moved at a very early date to the farm where William M. now resides. He had three sons and two daughters:

John C. born Oct 14, 1804, he was twice married - first to Aby Tennants, of Mason County; second to Sally Victor and had seven children who reside in Bourbon, viz:

Nancy born Nov 25, 1806, married Elijah Summit and left eight children, those living are in Nicholas County;

Betsey born March 8, 1810 married Rolland Steers and they had four children, one son, William in Missouri and one daughter in Harrison County, now living;

Harmon D born Dec 13, 1811 residing in Missouri;

and William Mason born June 1, 1824, who when 18 years of age, with his brothers, sisters and parents, seven persons in all, aggregated 1,477 lbs, or an average of 211 lbs each; only the two youngest of that number are now living.

Mr Johnson was married Nov 27, 1845 to Martha Victor, daughter of John and Betsy (Rule) Victor who were residents of Nicholas County, and had five sons, viz: Bruce born Sept 27, 1846; Charley M born May 26, 1851; Victor born Jan 14,1853 and died Aug 31, 1859; Stewart born Nov 24, 1855; and Oscar M born Aug 17, 1858; all are farming in Carlisle Precinct. His wife died May 8, 1874.

Mr Johnson is a man of thorough business habits and honorable in all his dealings; he lived 52 years without giving a note or running an account of any kind. He is strictly temperate and highly respected by the citizens of the county in which he lives.
