James Harris offered a portion of his land to Miles Johnson, both lived in 
Florence, Oneida County, NY in 1820 Census. On Page 315 published 
1897 “Pioneer History of Camden” says the following: Miles Johnson was born 
January 3, 1782 and died Sept 19, 1826, with the fever that was prevailing at 
the time.  His remains were removed from the old cemetery to the new one.  
There is no stone to mark his grave. He was married twice; his first wife was 
Miss Fish, his second, Miss Christina McCullom. Elias, his brother, was 
killed by falling from a tree near by; they were sons of Eliphalet Johnson, on 
Mexico Rd, who died in 1818. James Harris's father was Abel B. Harris of
