                  ii.    JOHN⁴ DEBOWE.       

Child of ALICE JOHNSON and EDWARD ANDREWS is:

                   i.    JOSEPH⁴ ANDREWS. 

5.  MARGARET³ JOHNSON (BARENT², LAMBERT¹ JANSEN) was born circa 1730.  She married (1) FREDERICK DEBOW 26 May 1748 in Middletown, Monmouth, NJ.[32]  She married (2) SAMUEL BOWNE 16 Apr 1763 in Monmouth, NJ.[33]

6.  MATTHIAS³ JOHNSON (JAN², LAMBERT¹ JANSEN) was born circa 1710, d. bef. 5 Oct 1805. 

On 13 Oct 1804 Christiana Johnson, relict of Joseph Johnson, dec'd, of Middletown, Monmouth, NJ, sent notice that her husband held an undivided right in property in Middletown with his brothers Matthias and Lambert Johnson, descended to them from their father, Matthias Johnson, and uncle Nicholas Johnson, dec'd.[35] 

On 19 Jan 1735 He registered his earmark at Middletown, Monmouth, NJ.  It was transferred to Christiana Johnson [widow of his son, Joseph] in 1801.[36]  

On 29 Feb 1748/9 Joseph Cox of Middletown, Monmouth, NJ sells to Matthias Johnson & Obadiah Bowne, of the same place...that I form. granted to my son, Thomas.[37] 

On 31 Mar 1762 Mathias Johnson and Obadiah Browne, Junr. of Middletown, Monmouth Co., East NJ sell to John Stout.[38] 

The timeline here is tight for Matthias to have bought land in 1748 if he was actually Matthias, Jr.  The Cox Family in America", compiled by George William Cocks, pg. 158, says that Joseph Cox sold land previously granted to his son, Thomas Cox, to Matthias Johnson, his son-in-law.  A town record of November 17, 1750, to the effect that Matthias Johnson, Jr., used the ear mark of his grandfather, Joseph Cox.  It was later transferred to John C. Vanderbilt,.[39] his grandson.  Rebecca, presumably Cox, wife of Matthias Johnson, Jr. may have been the daughter of Thomas and Rebecca Cox, granddaughter of Joseph Cox.       

Children of MATTHIAS JOHNSON are:

8.                i.    CATHERINE⁴ JOHNSON, b. circa 1734, NJ; d. 11 Jan 1807, Monmouth, NJ.

9.               ii.    MATTHIAS JOHNSON, b. circa 1736, NJ.

                 iii.    prob. JOHN JOHNSON, b. circa 1740.  He is presumably the person who sold land with Matthias Johnson in 1799, see below.  If correct, he married a woman named Catherine and died without heirs 5 Oct 1805.

10.             iv.    MARGARET JOHNSON, b. circa 1738.

                   v.    LAMBERT JOHNSON, b. circa 1742; d. bef. 31 May 1821, Middletown, Monmouth, NJ.

His will mention Joseph Collins, his wife Hannah, Elizabeth Collins and Ann Collins, his nephew, John Vanderbilt (bequest after the decease of Joseph, Hannah, Elizabeth, and Ann Collins, and any children of Joseph reach the age of 21), and his 2 nieces, Elizabeth Johnson and Martha Johnson.[40]

11.             vi.    JOSEPH JOHNSON, b. circa 1756; d. bef. 11 Apr 1801, Middletown, Monmouth, NJ. 

7.  LAMBERT³ JOHNSON (JAN², LAMBERT¹ JANSEN) was born circa 1720, and died bef. 26 Dec 1786 in Middletown, Monmouth, NJ.  He married IDA MCCLEES 22 Jul 1745¹ in Monmouth, NJ, daughter of JAN MCCLEES and IDA UNKNOWN.  She was born circa 1720 in NY. 

His will mentions grandson, John Johnson, not yet 21.  Neither daughter, Margaret or Rachel, had a married name.  Executor was friend, Peter McCleese.[41] 

The abstract of their marriage record:  #079;  Lambert JOHNSTON (JOHNSON - his mark) and Cornelius McCLEAS (McLEESE), both of the County of Monmouth, yeomen... [bound to]... Lewis MORRIS, Governor... 500 pounds... 22 July 1745. ... Lambert JOHNSTON... obtained license of marriage for himself and for Itcha McCLEAS, spinster... [w] John SMYTH.[42]       

Children of LAMBERT JOHNSON and IDA MCCLEES are:

12.              i.    LAMBERT⁴ JOHNSON, b. circa 1746, NJ; d. 15 Apr 1777, Brooklyn, NY.

13.             ii.    HENRY JOHNSON, b. circa 1755, NJ; d. 13 Oct 1841, Middletown, Monmouth, NJ.

                 iii.    MARGARET JOHNSON, b. circa 1760, NJ.

                  iv.    RACHEL JOHNSON, b. circa 1763, NJ. 

Generation No. 4 

8.  CATHERINE⁴ JOHNSON (MATTHIAS³, JAN², LAMBERT¹ JANSEN) was born circa 1734 in NJ, and died 11 Jan 1807 in Monmouth, NJ.[43]  She married JOSEPH GOLDEN 30 Dec 1754 in Monmouth, NJ¹, son of ELIAS GOLDER and ADRIANTJE UNKNOWN.  He was born 04 Mar 1731/32 in NJ, and died 06 Jun 1795 in Monmouth, NJ.[44] 

I am assuming her age according on her tombstone (77 years, 4 months, 21 days) is incorrect and her age was 3 - 5 years younger (her father gave his consent, implying she was underage). 

Her husband's will was witnessed by Lambert Johnson, Joseph Collins (see Lambert's will) and Jehe (sic) Johnson. 

The abstract of her marriage reads:  #068;   Joseph GOLDEN and William THOMSON (TOMSON) both of Middletown... [bound to]... Jonathan BELCHER, Governor... 500 pounds... 30 Dec 1754. ... Joseph GOLDEN... obtained license of marriage for himself and for Catherine JOHNSON of Middletown, spinster... [w] Tho:s BARTOW [consent] 1754, Dec 30 [note: 29 changed to 30]... conserning the intended marriage of one Joseph GOLDEN and Cathrine JOHNSON the daughter Mathas JOHNSON... I her father do give my consent and I Elias JOHNSON my father we do frely give both our consent... [signed] Elias GOLDEN and delivered to me J.G. [signed] Matthias JOHNSON [w] William TOMSON.[45] 

Joseph Golden’s will mentions his wife's sister, Elizabeth Johnson.

9.  MATTHIAS⁴ JOHNSON (MATTHIAS³, JAN², LAMBERT¹ JANSEN) was born circa 1736 in NJ, died circa 1805.  He married REBECCA COX.  

14 Jul 1799 Mathias and Rebecca Johnson and John and Catherine Johnson of Middletown, Monmouth, NJ deeded to Anthony Smith of the same place, land in Middletown.[46]  It is not clear if, but probably how, John and Matthias are related.  I assume he is his brother and died before 1803 without heirs. 

20 Jan 1803 Matthias and Rebecca Johnson of Middletown, Monmouth, NJ sold land in Middletown, Monmouth, NJ, bordering land of Joseph Johnson, dec'd.[47] 

On 5 Oct 1805 Matthias Johnson, Catherine Johnson, George and Rebecca Smith of Middletown, Monmouth, NJ released to Nicholas Johnson of the same place for $5, land that they were heirs to of Matthias Johnson, dec'd, bordering Anthony Smith, Daniel Hendrickson, late Joseph Johnson, dec'd.[48]
