A.M. JOHNSON was born near where he now lives March 28, 1829, and is a son of
Hiram M. and Maria (Martin) Johnson, who were born in Kentucky, the former
in 1802, and the latter in 1805.  The Johnson family came to Daviess County,
Ind., about 1822, and located in Harrison Township.  Our subject's father
died in Daviess County in 1872.  The mother yet lives, and resides with our
subject.  Subject attended the common schools and resided with and aided his
father until twenty-four years of age, when he moved to his present place of
abode, where he remained until 1864, when he moved to his present place of
residence.  He owns 299 acres of the best improved land in the county.  He
was married, in 1852, to Lydia Ann Davis, daughter of Abner M. Davis, who
was also a native Kentuckian, and for a number of years represented Daviess
County in the General Assembly.  Mrs. Johnson was born in Indiana in 1835, 
and bore her husband these two children:  Henry S., born November 27, 1854,
and died July 18, 1879, and Priscilla A., born January 1, 1858.  They have
two grandchildren, viz:  Henry P. Johnson and Harvey A. Caylor.  Formerly
Mr. Johnson was a Democrat, but later became a Republican and an uncompro-
mizing Abolitionist.  After the election of R.B. Hayes to the presidency he
became a National, and has since been identified with that party.  He is
president of the County Central Committee, and is considered one of the
first men of the county.  Mrs. Johnson is a member of the Christian Church.
Her mother's maiden name was Priscilla Kirk.
