in English and held by 1 library worldwide
Primarily correspondence and court records of a Stratford, Connecticut, lawyer and politician. Personal correspondence is between family members including his father Samuel Johnson, his wife Ann, and his children Sarah, Gloriana Ann, Robert Charles and Samuel William. His political correspondence consists of letters concerning the Stamp Act, letters about British, American and Connecticut politics with such notables as Eliphalet Dyer, Jedediah Elderkin, Jeremiah Wadsworth, Silas Deane, Jonathan Trumbull, Jared Ingersoll and Tench Coxe. As agent for the Colony of Connecticut to the court of King George from 1767-1771, Johnson sent regular reports to the General Assembly along with frequent letters to his family. As a lawyer and judge, he kept correspondence, case notes, court dockets and memoranda books relating to County and Supreme Court cases in which he was involved. Johnson also kept memo books while he was in New York City serving on the Stamp Act Congress and while serving as Senator for Connecticut. A significant portion of the collection consists of court proceedings, land survey, deeds (including those of John Mason), testimony, petitions to the King, court briefs, memorials from the Mohegan Indians to the Connecticut General Assembly, reports and minutes of the COmmissioners for the United Colonies of New England, and lists of Indians, both Pequot and Mohegan, gathered by Johnson in presenting what was called the Mohegan Case to the Privy Council. The Mohegans protested the settlement of lands they deemed theirs. Johnson was also involved in the settlement of the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania and the ensuing compromise between the two states.
