Charles M. JOHNSON b. May 1, 1830 d. Dec. 22, 1908 - my great great grandfather, is listed on 1855 - 1875 Town of Burlington, Otsego Co., NY census as having been born in Madison Co., NY. He was raised from early childhood by Lewis & Nancy SWINNEY, who first appear, without Charles in their household, on the 1830 census of Brookfield, Madison Co., NY. This census also lists Tylor JOHNSON as the only household of this surname to contain male children under the age of 5 yrs. in Brookfield. It is beleived that Charles attended school in Edmeston, Otsego Co., NY circa 1840-1850 possibly under the name of Charles SWINNEY and first used the name JOHNSON prior to his marriage to Betsey R. ARNOLD abt. 1860 in Burlington, NY where they resided. Their son Frank A. JOHNSON was born here in 1860 and in his adulthood became principle of Laurel Ave. School #10 in Binghamton, NY where Charles moved and died after the death of his wife Betsey.
