Susanna Johnson

“Susannah Munter, seen as wife of John Johnson, is actually wife of Edward Johnson.”

"Savage suggested that this John Johnson was 'brother of Edmund, a fellow passenger, but it must be left for larger inquiry to reach certainy' [Savage 2:554], and he has been followed in this hypothesis by others. Edmund Johnson {1635, Newbury} resided first at Newbury and then at Hampton, and there is no indication of any genealogical connection between these two Johnson families. (Savage had no entry for John Johnson of Ipswich and Andover, and improperly assigned the 1683 death record for Susanna to a grandson of the immigrant [Savage 2:554-55].)[2]
