FRANCIS JOHNSON

Francis Johnson was born in Caroline county, Va., during the
latter years of the eighteenth century. He removed to Kentucky
in early manhood, settled in Bowling Green, which had been
named for the county-seat of his native county, and practiced law.
He was delegate to the Kentucky Legislature, and was afterward
elected a member of the Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Eighteenth
Congresses of the United States. He died in Louisville, Ky.,
December 14, 1851.
