JESSE L. JOHNSON farmer and stock-grower, P.O. Eddington, 
was born on the farm where he now resides September 5, 1822. 
 His parents, Clark and Rachel (Grim) Johnson, were natives 
of Pennsylvania and of Swede and English descent.  His 
father was born in Bucks county.  The male members of the 
family have usually been farmers.  Jesse L. Johnson was the 
second son in a family of four children, and obtained his 
education in the Eddington school.  From his youth tip he 
has been engaged in agricultural pursuits, which he still 
follows with success.  He is the owner of 138 acres of land, 
of which he is justly proud.  He was married in 1858 to Anna 
P., daughter of Robert Levis, who was a farmer and tanner by 
occupation.  Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have had ten children, 
nine of whom are still living: Lizzie, Elmer, Mary, 
Josephine, Louisa, Clara, John, Jesse, and Anna.  Mrs. 
Johnson is a member of the Episcopal church.  Mr. Johnson is 
a democrat, and in early life was a member of the 
Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
