Notes for JOHN JOHNSON:
Winthrop, in his Journal under date of February 6, 1644/5, said: "John Johnson, the Surveyor General
of Ammunition, a very industrious and faithful man in this place, having built a fair house in the midst of
town, with diverse barns and outhouses, it fell on fire in the day time, no man knowing by what
occasion, and there being in it seventeen barrels of the country's powder, and many arms, all was
suddenly burnt and blown up, to the value of four or five hundred pounds. Johnson was from home
and neighbors, who had run in to help, remembering the powder, retreated from the house just before
the explosion, which shook the houses in Boston and Cambridge, so as men thought it had been an
earthquake, and carried great pieces of timber a good way off, and some rags and such light things
beyond Boston meeting house."
