Johnson's father died when he was three and they were not from a wealthy family. His mother could earn some money by spinning weaving but they were very poor. When he was 14 he was bound as an indentured servant to serve as an apprentice to a tailor. He ran away after two years but had learned enough to work as a tailor and opened his own tailor shop when he was 17.
