"Solomon Johnson (Solomon1), b. about 1627, d. at Sudbury 26 Aug 1690. He was an early proprietor ofLancaster, Ma., for in 1652 he deeded his forty acres in "Nashaway Plantation" (Middlesex Co. deeds v1 p41) to Stephed Day for the three hundred acres (Middlesex Co. deeds v1 p42) excahnged in 1658 (Middlesex Co. deeds v13 p590) for his father's New Sudbury grant of one hundred forty acres, upon which last he probably lived. In 1664 he alienated a moiety of this one hundred forty acres (Middlesex Co. deeds v3 p325), but in 1685 possesed the seventy acres remaining, as a deed from Benjamin Crowe of Stow to Joseph Rice of Marlborough recites that the land sold (originally that of John Wood, Sr. and John Rutter, Sr.) is bounded southward with land of Solomon Johnson, Jr. He married twice: first Hannah ___, who d. 4 June 1685; and secondly, 1 Feb 1686-7, "Hannah Crefts of Natomy" (Watertown records, p. 96), perhaps the Hannah Johnson who married Thomas Frost 9 July 1691.
