"I have lived to see six generations of my people, have dined and slept with them all. Daniel Johnson was born in South Carolina, October 10, 1751, and married a woman of South Carolina. To them was born a son and they named him Clark and then he was called to the Revolutionary War, where he fought for independence.

"When Clark became a man he married in Georgia to Miss Boler, and they had three children, one boy and two girls. They called the boy Clark. When this Clark was a man he married Miss Sarah Nesom near Crystal Springs. There I was born May 25th 1848. May 25th 1849 mother and father gave me a birthday dinner. I had to dine with me that day two great grandfathers, one great grandmother, two grandfathers, and two grandmothers and father and mother.

Since the birth of Daniel Johnson, only eighteen of us have died. He lived one hundred and two years, three months and ten days. He never weighed at any one time over 105 pounds, and never took a dose of medicine from a doctor in his life."
