It appears that the inhabitants (of Haverhill) suffered considerably for the want of a blacksmith. To obviate this difficulty, a contract was signed by Mr. (John) Ward and nineteen others, in which each agree to pay Mr. (Joseph) Jewett his proportion of twenty pounds, to purchase his house and land, which the contractors gave to John Johnson, “provided he live here seven years, following the trade of a blacksmith in doing the town’s work; also, the said John Johnson doth promise to refuse to work for any that refuse to pay towards this purchase, untill they bring under the Selectmen’s hands that they will pay.” This house stood on the ground now occupied (1861) by the Exchange building, Water Street. Until recently, this land has been owned by the heirs of Hon. Bailey Bartlett, a lineal descendant from the above John Johnson. He was also the ancestor of most of the Johnsons in the town. Johnson came from Charlestown, where he married, 15 October 1656, Elizabeth, daughter of Elias Maverick, and had one child, John (born 3 August 1657) previous to his removal to Haverhill. It is worthy of note, that the same trade has been almost or quite constantly carried on in this town, since that time, by his lineal descendants. Washington Johnson, son of John, (who was also a blacksmith,) still exercises the trade, and his shop stands on land once belonging to the original John Johnson.
