HOSEA JOHNSON, farmer, P. O. Kenton, was born in Monroe Township, Logan Co., Ohio, December 11, 1817. His father, Jacob Johnson, was born in Monmouth County, N. J., March 15, 1779. His mother, Rachel Green, was born in Bourbon County, Ky., in 1784. His grandfather was Andrew Johnson, who came from Holland before the Revolution, settled in New Jersey, and in 1780 removed with his family to Boone County, Ky. The following year Daniel Boone left that county. Mrs. Johnson, wife of Jacob Johnson, was of English and Welsh descent. Her father, George Green, worked his way across the ocean on a sailing vessel when nineteen years of age. He settled in Bourbon County, Ky., and, in 1811, came to Logan County, Ohio, where he died. Our subject's parents married July 12, 1802. His father was an old hunter, and followed that occupation in Kentucky, where bears were so numerous that people could hardly keep their hogs, and had to pen them up. Mr. Johnson, early one morning, was aroused by the squealing of some hogs, and suddenly started out in pursuit of the bear. He followed the noise, and soon found the object of his search. The bear was biting and cuffing the hog, which he held up, but on seeing the hunter he fled. Mr. Johnson, knowing the bear would soon return, secreted himself behind a log, and shortly after bruin came back and perched himself with his fore feet on the log, snuffing around, upon which the hunter shot him in the region of the heart. The animal was found to weigh 500 pounds. When Jacob Johnson came to Logan County, he "squatted" on 1,000 acres of land, which he occupied seventeen years. He then bought eighty-seven acres of land at $2 an acre in Rush Creek Township, which land he cleared of the timber covering it. His father's home was used as a church for twenty-five years, and his house was the home of the itinerant. He was first identified with the old Calvin Baptists, and afterward with the Methodist Church, in which he labored until his death. He died in August, 1868, and his wife preceded him, September 18, 1850. They had twelve children, ten sons and two daughters, five living. Our subject, the youngest child, was reared on a farm and given a common school education. He aided his father in clearing the farm, and lived with him until twenty-two years old. On January 2, 1840, he was married to Nancy Rosbrugh, born in Logan County, Ohio, February 11, 1817. Her parents, Hilkiah and Susan (Deardeff) Rosbrugh, were natives of Virginia, whence they moved and settled in Logan County, Ohio, near West Liberty, where their daughter Nancy was reared to womanhood. Mrs. Rosbrugh was born May 18, 1787, died May 2, 1851, in Logan County; her husband was born October 30, 1782, died April 17, 1828, in Bedford County, Va. They had eleven children, ten living, viz., Susan, wife of James Morrison; Elizabeth, wife of H. N. Smith; John C.; Sophromia, wife of P. F. Latimer; George F.; M. Micajah; Jane, wife of Milton Davis; Margaret, wife of Milton Lee; Peter F. and Mollie C. Henry G. died at the age of two years. In 1850, Mr. Johnson removed to his present farm and bought 100 acres, to which he has since added, until he is owner now of 540 acres; the homestead contained 330 acres. He has given 200 acres to his sons, George and Micajah. In politics, he was formerly a Whig, but now belongs to the Republican party.
