According to Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks County, Casper Johnson was of Holland descent and was born in or near Germantown about the year 1720. He was a son of John Johnson or Jansen of Germantown and possibly a grandson of Claus Jansen, one of the early settlers of Germantown who about 1708 located in Skippack Township, then part of a large section known as Bebber's Township. Casper Johnson was living in Upper Dublin Twp, Philadelphia Co in 1761 when he purchased a tract of 253 acres in Richland, one mile north of Quakertown borough. It appears, however, that Casper did not immediately move to this tract as he was still a resident of Upper Dublin in 1769 when with his wife Catharine he joined with his brothers in the conveyance of his father's real estate in Germantown. At that time, his brother Benjamin and wife Jane were living in Richland Twp. and might have been resident on Casper's property.
Casper must have moved to Richland shortly after 1769. He was living there in 1800 when he wrote his will, which was probated in 1806.∼Married Catherine Morse
