(X) Lieut. Ezekiel Thomas Johnson

Lieut. Ezekiel Thomas Johnson, son of Ezekiel Johnson, was born in Orange county, Vermont, May 19, 1839. He was educated in the public schools of Bradford, Vermont, and while still a minor entered the offices of the Windsor (Vermont) Journal, where he thoroughly mastered the printer’s art as then practiced. He continued working there at the printer’s trade until the outbreak of the civil war, except a year and a half spent in Boston. He enlisted as a private August 6, 1862, in Company H, Tenth Regiment Vermont Volunteer Infantry, soon afterward being promoted to be corporal. On December 28, 1862, he was promoted to be sergeant; March 4, 1864, to be first sergeant; and December 19, 1864, commissioned second lieutenant of Company E, but for some reason was not mustered. On March 22, 1865, he was commissioned first lieutenant, Company G, and transferred to Company E, Tenth Vermont. He was a good soldier and saw hard service, the Tenth bearing the brunt of battle in several hard fought battles, and he was highly rated for bravery and efficiency. Out of one hundred and one men who enlisted with Lieutenant Johnson, but thirty-five returned to their homes. The Tenth Vermont, with the Fourteenth New Jersey, the One Hundred and Sixth and One Hundred and Fifty-first New York, and the Eighty-seventh Pennsylvania, formed the First Brigade of the Third Division, Sixth Army Corps of the Army of the Potomac.

Lieutenant Johnson was engaged with his regiment in the following engagements with the enemy: Kelley’s Ford, November 7; Orange Grove, November 27; Mine Run, November 30; the Wilderness, May 5 to 8; Spottsylvania, May 10 to 17; North Anna River, May 23 to 26; Hanover Court House, May 30; Totopatomy Creek, May 31; Cold Harbor, June 1; Cold Harbor, June 3, and 6 to 12; Bermuda Hundred, June 17; Weldon Railroad, June 22 and 23; Monocacy, July 9, 1864; Petersburg, March 25; Petersburg, April 2; Deatonsville Road, April 6; Sailors Creek, April 6; Appomattox Court House, April 9, 1865. At the battle of Monocacy Junction, Maryland, July 9, 1864, he was in charge of the skirmish line on the north bank of the river, under command of Captain George E. Davis, and performing the duties of second lieutenant, a rank for which he had already been named. Here he was severely wounded by a minie ball, which struck the top of his head, cutting through the scalp and scraping the bone, inflicting an ugly wound. He was in the hospital several months, but finally was so far recovered as to rejoin his regiment, yet in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, in December, 1864. He did a soldier’s duty and was spared to see the final surrender at Appomattox and to march in the grand parade of the victorious army down Pennsylvania avenue in the city of Washington. He was mustered out June 22, 1865, and settled in Buffalo, New York. Later he came to Bradford, Pennsylvania, where he is heavily and successfully engaged in the oil business, as president of the Test Oil Company, and in other companies. He is a Republican in politics, and a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, of which he has been treasurer for many years. He is a member of the Union Veteran Legion and maintains a lively interest in all that concerns his old army comrades.

He married, January 31, 1867, Sophia Louisa, daughter of Colonel Jeffrey Amherst Bayley (see Bayley VII). Two children died in infancy.

Thomas Rogers, “the martyr,” some of whose children settled in Wales, where a century later Stephen Rogers was born. He came to America, settled in Newburyport, Massachusetts, and later in Hampton, New Hampshire. A descendant of his, bearing the same name, married Mary Nichols, from England, whose forbear was high sheriff of Massachusetts colony.

Josiah Rogers came to Newbury, Vermont, probably about 1784, but the first recorded mention of him is in 1785. He settled on what was later known as “Rogers’ Hill,” where with the aid of his sons he cleared and cultivated a fine farm. His mother came to Newbury with him, and despite her dread of the wild surroundings lived to the unusual age of ninety-nine years and eight months, dying in 1816, having survived her husband, who died young, eighty years.

He was at the capture of Fort William Henry, but escaped massacre and safely reached Fort Edward. He was made colonel by General Amherst, and accompanied him at the taking of Crown Point and Ticonderoga in 1759. In 1763 he obtained a charter for a township of land in Vermont, where he moved 1764. He was there appointed brigadier general by the state of New York; and by General Washington commissary general of the northern department, a position involving great responsibilities and subjecting him to great danger. A reward of five hundred guineas was offered for him dead or alive by the British, and it required constant vigilance to escape the scouts and enemies sent against him. He made a treaty with the St. Francis tribe of Indians, and was held in great respect by them and by the other friendly Indians. By means of these friends and spies he acquired important intelligence concerning the movements of the British, and rendered great service to his country with purse, pen and sword. He was a factor in the movements that finally penned in Burgoyne, and compelled him to battle at Saratoga and finally to surrender to the victorious Americans. Several of his sons also served with him against the English. He held important public offices, besides military. He was delegate to the continental congress of 1777, member of the constitutional convention that drafted a constitution for Vermont in 1777, member of the first council in 1778, member of constitutional convention 1793, judge of probate for Newbury district 1778, and judge of Orange county, Vermont, from 1781 to 1791, excepting the years 1783 and 1784.
