	Southern Baptist Historical Library & Archives - William Johnson
		Johnson was in Savannah when Luther Rice (1783-1836) enlisted his interest in foreign missions, and Rice accepted Johnson's proposal to hold the first meeting of American Baptists in Philadelphia to form a general convention.
		Johnson, the only man who attended initial meeting of both the General Baptist Missionary Convention (1814) and the Southern Baptist Convention (1845), was also the only man who served as president of each; he had a large part in the framing of constitutions for the two bodies.
		Johnson was the last southern president of the general convention (1841-44), and justified the confidence placed in him by his able leadership in reconciling opposing forces and thus delaying disruption of the convention.

	Sir William Johnson
		William was educated for a mercantile life, but his career was entirely changed by the refusal of his parents to permit him to marry a lady with whom he had fallen in love.
		Johnson accepted, and in 1738 established himself on a tract of land on the south side of Mohawk river, about twenty-four miles west of Schenectady, which Sir Peter had called "Warrensburgh." He began to colonize this tract, and also embarked in trade with the Indians, whom he always treated with perfect honesty and justice.
		In General Prideaux's expedition against Fort Niagara in 1759, Sir William Johnson was second in command, and on the death of Prideaux by the explosion of a gun before that fort, he succeeded to the command in chief.
