*Johnson, David

Mr. Johnson has always been a history buff primarily in naval warfare of the 17th and early 18th centuries. As a spectator of a Revolutionary War Reenactment in 1974, David became intrigued with an artillery unit which was a member of an international historical society: The Brigade of the American Revolution. This introduction led to his quest for greater historical knowledge and became the catalyst for his later investigations.

The subsequent research into original books, diaries and manuscripts written during the Revolutionary War time period led David to realize this original information did not follow what one had been taught in public school.

It was through this research into historical archives that he discovered the truth about land grant patents, treaties and property rights.
