Respecting arms borne by the Johnsons of Hull, the following paragraph of Rev. Dr. Johnson's
letter of January 6, 1757, may be quoted :
" N. B. Mr. Pownall told me he was bred at the noted Gram-
mar School at Hull, where he said he knew several Gentlemen of note of my name, who doubtless are
of the same family, one of whom, you may have observed, has solved some of the mathematical prob-
lems in some late Magazines. He told me he intended, when he went to England, to visit his Friends
in the north, and would enquire for the coat of arms of those Johnsons for me ; but I believe he is so
deep in politics that he will hardly remember it. . . ."

arms as follows :

The copy from which we obtained these arms was made by Ann daughter
of Stephen Johnson and granddaughter of Rev. Stephen Johnson, and is now owned by her son Joseph
Selden Huntington in Lyme. It is very nicely painted in colors, and may be supposed to have been
copied from an older painting in the familj'. We know no more about it. Possibly, this is the coat of
the Johnsons of Hull, which appears never to have been obtained by Rev. Dr. Johnson or his descendants.
