We have 4 different lines of descent from Edward and Priscilla Johnson. Edward was part of Thomas Weston's group. He traveled to the New World on the Sparrow, an English fishing vessel that brought the team to Damariscove Island, just off the coast of Maine. They then traveled the additional 150 miles by shallop and arrived in Plymouth Colony in May 1622. He was among the first Wessagusset settlers and was deeply involved in the tensions that arose among the Indians and colonists. By 1631, Edward and Priscilla (it is unknown when she came to New England) had moved to York, Maine, where they were among the founders of the town.
