This family lived in Brentwood, NH. About 1785, they moved to Winthrop, ME, in the part which became Readfield, ME, in 1791. His slate gravestone in East Readfield, ME, is inscribed, "He was a soldier of the Revolution." In his will he describes himself as, "Joseph Johnson of Winthrop in the county of Lincoln and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Tanner." (Note: Maine did not become a separate state until 1820.)

This family lived in Readfield, ME, where Levi was a selectman for five years beginning in 1804. He served in the War of 1812, at Wiscasset, ME where "an encampment was maintained from September 12 to 24, lest the British coming from Penobscot would attack the seacoast towns." His estate was settled 24 February 1818.

Levi, Jr., a trader, began dealing in real estate early in life. In 1828, he purchased 173 acres in Garland, ME, and in 1833, 106 acres in Milo, ME. Over the following years he bought and sold more land in Milo and in Appleton, ME. In August 1850, Levi bought for 25 dollars a pew, number 36, in the Baptist Meeting House in Appleton. It is interesting to note that on 24 August 1857, Levi agreed to support and maintain for life John and Jane Humphrey of Appleton, and gave a $5,000 bond for land belonging to the Humphreys.

Levi, Jr., purchased in Appleton on 18 March 1844 a farm of 80 acres of land and buildings thereon from Alfred Johnson of Belfast, ME, who had bought it in 1842 from Peleg and Paul Lincoln of Appleton. It is thought that this farm was the farm that the family of Elizabeth (Lincoln) Johnson had lived on. The farm was situated on Appleton Ridge and Levi, Jr., installed his wife and family there the same year. When the weather was warm enough, Levi, Jr. and his ten year old son, Lincoln, walked the entire ninety mile stretch of wilderness from Milo to Appleton Ridge, driving their cattle to their new home.

Both Levi, Jr., and Elizabeth are buried in the Old Quaker Cemetery on the east side of Senebec Pond, Appleton, ME.

Levi, Jr. and his wife Elizabeth (Lincoln) Johnson had six children:

• Elizabeth Lincoln, b. in Milo, ME 1832; m. Horatio Nelson Keene, son of Charles Augustus Keene.
• Lincoln C., b. in Milo, ME 18 Feb. 1834; m. Ellen Viola Moody, dau. of Nelson Moody.
• Martha A., b. in Milo, ME, 5 Feb. 1837; m. 12 May 1654 Rev. Kendrick Meservey.
