• Notes

  Hannah Pillar Johnson married Jonathan Pickering Johnson in about 1904. I believe that she is probably the daughter of James Pillar and Sarah ? Pillar b. 1770., but I've found no documents to support that. Hannah and Sarah are both buried at the Colerain Baptist Church Cemetery. She was a mother to ten children. These ten children grew up to do many wonderful things. Two became doctors,and Dr. Isaac D. Johnson's book on homeopathy is still in use today. Her daughter, Sarah Story Johnson Holcombe made a quilt that has been displayed as a great memory quilt both at Cornell University and New York State Museum. Jesse Johnson served as a ruling elder in Faggs Manor Church for fifty-two years. She raised children of faith. And I suspect that she did it largely on her own. They were poor, a few of the children were listed in Chester County's Poor School Children. Hannah has left a great legacy.
