Johnson Family Records of Glenn Johnson. - (Research):Journal of James H. Martineau says there were 16 children in his mother's family, all of whom married, except one brother, who died at the age of 21 or 22. (See Journal of James Henry Martineau, page 2). However, he began his journal in 1851 at age 23, based on memory of things his parents told him, so there is no evidence here. However, it might suggest a further search to see if there were other children.
