The New Jersey Coast in Three Centuries by William Nelson, Peter Ross, Fenwick Y. Hedley
-- Page 193 -- "On February 15, 1668, William Johnson, with several of his fellow townsmen of Elizabeth Town, New Jersey, and twenty-one "partners" from Barnegate to Sandy Hook obtained "Privileges, Conditions and Limitations for the Whale Fishery." His daughter, Hannah, married Joseph Holden, and after his death she married Henry Leonard. William Johnson died May 14, 1689. On January 29 1697-8, his daughter, Hannah, then the wife of Henry Leonard, of Cape May, made an affidavit concerning her father's will and why it was not proven earlier. Ten years after the "Privileges, Conditions and Limitations" for the Whale Fishery were granted William Johnson and others, a charter (1678) was granted "for a Whale Fishing Company consisting of Joseph Huet, Thomas Ingram, Richard Davis, Isaac Bennet, Randall Huet, Thomas Huet, Henry Leonard, Samuel Leonard, John Whitlock, John Crafford, Thomas Applegate and Charles Dennis." Of these men, Randall Huet or Hewitt, Henry Leonard, John Whitlock and John Crafford, all of Middletown and Shrewsbury, became residents of Cape May, and are among the earliest recorded land holders. "[4]

-- Page 194 -- "Another deed of this year (1693) throws some light upon the settlement of Cape May. Katherine Howell, of Philadelphia, widow of Thomas Howell, sold land in Gloucester county, New Jersey, to Henry Johnson, mariner, "late of Cape May, now of Philadelphia." He was the youngest son of William Johnson, of Elizabeth Town, New Jersey, and brother to Hannah, wife of Henry Leonard, above mentioned.[5]

-- Page 196 -- "In June of the same year (1696) Jeremiah Basse granted power of attorney to Joshua Barkstead, of Cohansey, and John Houlden, of Cape May, as agents of the West Jersey Society in Cape May. John Houlden was probably the sone of Hannah Johnson, wife of Henry Leonard, by her first husband, Joseph Holden, who was probably a resident of Cape May before his death. [6]
