B. D. JOHNSON was born on the same farm on which he now resides, on
November 18, 1832, and is a son of Samuel and Margaret (Hudson) Johnson.
The father was a native of Maryland, being born there on November 27, 1786.
When a mere youth his father moved to Fayette County, where the latter
died.  Subject's father came to this county in 1815, where he settled on an
adjoining farm.  Here he procured a Government patent for 400 acres, but
only resided there two years; returning to Jessamine County he married Miss
Hudson on October 2, 1816, who was born in that county on May 21, 1797.
Soon after his marriage he returned to this county, and settled on the farm
now owned by subject. He finally owned some 1,200 acres, which he afterward
divided among his children.  He died on December 12, 1861; the mother on
July 30, 1837. Subject is the youngest of seven children, of whom three are
living: J. H., J. W. and B. D.  The latter's education was received in the
common schools of the county.  He commenced to have charge of the home
place at eighteen, and ran it until his father's death; he then inherited
275 acres, and of this he now has about 200 acres in cultivation.  Mr.
Johnson was married in the Hadensville District in January, 1863, to Miss
Helen Hollins, who was born in Hadensville District, February, 1838; she is
a daughter of Richard and Susan (Higgason) Hollins.  They were natives of
Louisa County, Va., and came to this county in 1837, settling in the
Hadensville District.  There the father died in 1869; the mother in 1844.
This union has resulted in two children--Ida and Richard.  Mr. and Mrs.
Johnson are members of the Christian Church.
