"Taken up by the Subscriber, living on the Middle of Meherin River in Lunenburg County, a young middle sized yellowish colored grey Mare, with a large Star in her Forehead, and without either Dock or Brand; she has been posted and appraised at fifty Shillings. The Owner may have her of me, on paying as the Law directs.
Joseph Johnson Sen."

1756 - Lunenburg County
"In August of 1756, Joseph(1) and Isaac(2) swapped 200 acre tracts of land in Lunenburg County. For what reason they did this is unclear for when one examines the records found in book 4 pg 307 and pg 308 the two tracts are adjoining! Perhaps thhe answer lies in the record found in the same deed book on page 310 where we find a deed by JOSEPH JOHNSON of the parish of Cumberland and County of Lunenburg for good will and affection for son-in-law STEPHEN WOOD and five shillings one hundred acres on the North side of the Robertson Fork of the Meherrin... etc! A close check of this deed description identifies this land to be part of the two hundred acre tract Joseph received in the trade with Isaac."
