  • Notes 
    • Except as noted, most of the information regarding Henry and his descendants was taken from several family trees on Ancestry.com and other internet sources. These sources will not be repeated.

      According to a handwritten "Family Record", probably from a family Bible, obtained from Emma Johnson Farmin, Henry was born on October 19, 1842. his source is believed to be generally accurate and will be relied upon unless other sources require a different conclusion. According to a related handwritten "Family Tree" obtained from Corrine Farmin, daughter of Emma Johnson Farmin, Henry was born on October 19, 1842. He is shown to have married Ida Newton (Johnson) on June 11, 1877. No children are shown. While this source is generally believed to be accurate and will be relied upon unless other sources require a different conclusion, this information is incorrect.

      According to a family tree on Ancestry.com and other online sources, Henry married Tryphena Elizabeth Arbuthnot on May 18, 1876. Their daughter, Ida May, was born on June 11, 1877.

      Henry enlisted in the Union Army on February 27, 1864, and served in Battery H, Volunteer Regiment of the Pennsylvania Light Artillery.

      According to the 1870 census, Henry was living with his parents in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania. His occupation is shown to be a house carpenter.

      According to the 1872 Pittsburgh City Directory, Henry H. Johnston, a carpenter, was living at 106 Fremont Ave., Allegheny City.

      According to the 1880 census, Henry, a carpenter, was living with his wife, Phaene (?), and his two children: Ida, age 3, and Ella, age 11/12. It appears that the handwritten family tree written above may have confused his child "Ida" for his wife.

      According to the records of the U.S. National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, 1866-1938, available on Ancestry.com, Henry enlisted in the army on February 29, 1864 and was discharged on June 19, 1865. He was admitted to the home in Dayton Ohio on April 22, 1897. He is shown to be a widower. He was discharged from the Dayton Home on August 11, 1900, when he was transferred to Western Pennsylvania. The contact shown in the record is his daughter, Mrs. R. H. Griffith in Omaha, Nebraska.

      According to an item in The Leavenworth (Kansas) Times on August 16, 1900, Henry was transferred directly from the Dayton veteran's home to the veteran's home in Leavenworth, Kansas.

      According to the 1900 census, Henry H. Johnson, born October 1842, was an "inmate" in Central Branch, National Home for Disabled Volunteers, Dayton, Montgomery Co., Ohio.

      According to the Leavenworth, Kansas Register, he died on April 2, 1906. His son-in-law, R. H. Griffith, of Wheeler, Washington, was notified.

      The following obituary appeared in The Leavenworth (Kansas) Post on April 4, 1906, as part of an article headlined, "FIVE DEATHS AT THE HOME", regarding recent deaths at the Soldier's Home in Leavenworth, Kansas:

      "Henry H. Johnson, H, Pennsylvania independent light artillery, died at 11:55 p.m., Monday of pulmonary tuberculosis, aged 64 years. He came to the Home and was admitted April 2, 1906. R. H. Griffith, of Wheeler, Wash., is a son-in-law of the deceased. The funeral took place at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon."
