Born in 1751, Joseph Johnson, a Mohegan teacher and minister, attended the famous school of the Congregationalist preacher Eleazar Wheelock from late 1758 to 1766. At fifteen, he began teaching a missionary school in Oneida country, in upstate New York, managing to be present at the making of the Fort Stanwix Treaty in 1768 but landing in disgrace for dissolute habits that caused him to leave his post in 1769. Johnson next taught in Providence, worked on a whaling ship, returned to Connecticut in 1771, and experienced an evangelical awakening that autumn. From 1772 till his death he was involved in teaching, preaching, and trying to organize the relocation of Mohegan Christians from Connecticut to a new site, Brotherton, in Oneida territory. . . .
