Notes
Birth
1781 birth date, but not location, is from the "History of the town of Stratford, NH, 1773-1925" by Jeannette R. Thompson, page 421 (LDS film 1321380 Item 1). This birth date may be incorrect in that the same source shows his sister, Mary "Polly", born on 7 August 1780, only 5 months earlier.1880 census covering his daughter, Evelina Ann Maria (Marshall) Johnson, showed her father was born in Mass. which I think is not correct.
6 Jan 1781 birth date, but not location, is from the "History of the town of Stratford, NH, 1773-1925". The 1883 death date for his daughter, Maria Marshall, of 2 Dec. 1883 is per LDS film #1001087 "Death Index for New Hampshire" and shows her father as Wm. Marshall born in Hamstead, Mass. His birth location may be explained by the fact the family was possible in Hampstead during the time when the threat of Indians forced the family from Northumberland, NH, to their former home. (There is no Hamstead, Mass. and most likely was Hampstead, NH.)
