NOTE: The Johnson line up to James Albert Johnson was created through known family information. The generation of the Clark Lawrence Johnson and wives and the information about the oldest child from his first family William Henry Johnson and his descendants was verified and proved with DNA. This disproved long held beliefs as to names and relationships. Some of the oral history from Roea Ann (Ryan) Johnson about her in-laws has now proved to be confused and sometimes wrong. His mother was not Sarah McClure, but rather Sarah Ann Stockdell, McClure was the surname of his father Clark Lawrence Johnson’s second wife Vienna “Vina” McClure. There probably are other as yet to be discovered discrepancies. His birthdate is correct though as verified through a number of documents.

Raised by grandparents Albert? Johnson & Sara? (McClure?) Johnson in La Mar, MO

His grandaughter Madeline (Johnson) Barnett remembered James as a quiet man who would sit quietly smoking his pipe. Most of his life he farmed, later after they homesteaded, when they got older, they moved into Arlington, CO and kept the Arlington school clean, which Madeline oc[c]assionally helped them with.32
————————————————
This summary was provided by Roea Ann (Ryan) Johnson, Daughter-in-law of James and Mary Johnson. Roea is 92 now (1990), but very clear on dates and names of people in the past.
James A. Johnson was raised by his paternal grandparents, as his Mother died when he was three days old. They took him from Nebr. where he was born, to La Mar Missouri to live. As a young man he went to El Dorado, Mo.
His father, Clark Johnson died, leaving his money to be divided equally with the three children; but Henry being the eldest absconded with all of it, and ran off on horseback to Texas. He was never heard of again. The family figured he was killed by bushwackers for the money. (NOTE: This statement about Clark dieting was subsequently proved to be false.)
At age 25 he and Mary Ann Hurt were married 5-6-1885. Mary was the daughter of W. Henry Hurt and Margaret Ann (Burke) Hurt of El Dorado, Mo.
After the marriage they homesteaded a place 16 miles out of El Dorado, where most of their children were born. He was a farmer, and farmed all his life except for a few years. The farm wasn't always profitable, and they were encouraged by Mary's brother to go to Seattle, Wash. where they heard work and good money was to be made.
Along with three other families, including brother Thomas, they chartered a car on a freight train, loaded all the families belongings in it, they left Missouri in 1904 for Seattle. Most of the children were very young, but no illness on the way that anyone heard of. Mary's brother played the violin all the time, and they seemed to have had a pretty comfortable trip. When they arrived in Seattle, James took a job in a large factory making house shingles. Some time later their son Tom joined a group of young men and got a job on a boat bound for China. He was twenty, so when his Mother heard of this plan, she and son Bill went to the docks and took him home.
The damp weather in Wash. didn't seem the best thing for James' rheumatism, and money isn't everything, so in 1910 they left, to return to dryer climate. A brother of Mary's had gotten ahold of a homestead and wanted them to take it, so that's where they settled, just out of McCracken, Kans.
They lived and farmed that place until 1918, then moved by team and covered wagon to Arlington, Colo. Son Donald recalls he had measles on the trip out, and ate so many pork and beans, that to this day he can't eat them.
They took a government claim on a homestead 3 miles out of Arlington, and lived in a dug out house until 1920, then they moved into town. James continued to farm the place, going every day to tend his crops, then home in the evenings to milk the cows, and take care of other household chores for the family.
They stayed in Arlington until 1940, when because of failing health and advanced age they moved to Rocky Ford, Colo. to be near their daughter Zelpha, who lived there with her family. Mary died 6-5-1944. After she was gone James moved into Zelpha's home and lived there the rest of his life. He died four years after Mary died which was 1-9-1948. They both are interred at the Arlington, Colo. cemetery. 30

When the family came to Colorado, they did so because of free land provided by the Homestead Act of May 20, 1862. The story can be traced through land patents filed by family members.
1. The first to arrive in Colorado appears to have been James Albert Johnson who filed at Denver on January 23, 1911 for land patent number 172920 for 160 acres near Arlington, Colorado. William H. Taft was president of the United States at the time and his name and stamped signature is on the land patent.
2. James Johnson’s son, William Henry Johnson, filed at Lamar on March 3, 1916 for land patent number 516849 for 320 and 21/100. Woodrow Wilson was president.

Letter to John Johnson 7/26/95 mentioned the following incident about Mary Ann Hurt Johnson.
This is not historical news, but as a small child I (Alma June Pierce) reme[m]ber the 50th wedding anniversary (I think it was 50th) the point was the kids My Mom (Ethel), Zelpha, Zelpho, etc. got enough money to buy Grandma Johnson a wedding bank. I remember she cried and cried. I said to my Mom "I though Grandma would be happy, why is she crying?" I don't remember much of the reply, something about "She IS Happy" but that didn't explain the crying to me then."316
