which is quite voluminous, was writ

pioneer named Esau Johnson, wh>
died at or near Sparta probably il
1885. Johnson was born, so he says
in 1900 at Guilford Court House, NortE
Caroline. His father emigrated t
Ohio, and thence to Illinois. In 1926
Esau Johnson drove his "sucke
team" of oxen to the lead mines al
Shullsburg, and teamed to Galena ur

him south into Illinois for the winter
In 1927 he returned and from thc
time mined, teamed, and traded m,
ly at Blue Mounds till 1S41 During t.
Black Hawk War he was at Blu
Mounds but he spent one year on
farm in Richland Center, nine mile
below Muscoda, after which he mad
his home on the Kickapoo and devo
