William Johnson was born about 1500. He married first, about 1528, Alice Foreflode, daughter of John Foreflode, a hatter and a freeman of Canterbury. By this marriage William Johnson became a freeman of Canterbury in 1528. She died and he remarried to Ellzabeth who was buried at Saint George s 17 May 1575. Her burial is recorded twice. In one entry the record says, Elizabeth, wife of William Johnson", but in the second entry the words "Grandfather to William Johnson parrish clarke", have been added. William Johnson the parrish clerk and grandson probably added these words about 1598 when the register was copied. William Johnson was buried at Saint George's, Canterbury, 9 June 1575.

Elizabeth was buried ^{1, 2} on 17 May 1575 in St George's, Canterbury, Kent, England. Elizabeth married ³ William JOHNSON in 1522.

John FORFLOD was born ¹ about 1470 in of Canterbury, Kent, England, United Kingdom. He died ^{2, 3} about 1518 in of Canterbury, Kent, England, United Kingdom. John married Clare NEE before 1500 in Canterbury, Kent, England.

JOHN FORFLOD son of Ellen Forflod of Canterbury, Kent, was born probably around 1470 more or less. His wife's name was Clare or Clara. He died about 1518 in which year administration of his estate was granted to his widow. John Forflod was a hatter and a freeman, that is, a full voting citizen of the city. His mother, Ellen Forflod, died about April 1514, having made her will on 13 March. It was proved 29 April following at Canterbury. She asked to be buried next to her husband in the church yard of Saint Augustine's monastery. She named her son John and her two daughters, Isabel and Joan. The will as recorded is somewhat confusing in that her daughter Eghard is twice called Isabel and twice called Elizabeth. These two names were sometimes used interchangeably at that time, as Elizabeth and Betty are today. She also referred to John's daughter Alice, who probably was the eldest of his surviving children, and to three other children, but did not name them. Isabel's husband was probably the Edward Egbard who witnessed the will. An abstract follows.

Coynnynggate = Queningate

St. Mary of Queningate was a church so called from its situation near that ancient gate within the city wall. St. Michael Burgate was situate in Burgate Street near the gate, also within the city walls. When it was desecrated is unknown, but probably long before the reformation. The remains of St. Michael's church were long ago converted into a dwelling house. Some of the ancient walls are still standing. (Hasted's Hist. of Kent, Vol. 4)
