William and Joseph Johnson had received the property from their father, William Johnson, in the late 1950's after he died. This William Johnson was born in 1869 in Russia, as the son of a soldier in the Czar's Army. When William Johnson emigrated to America, he worked at a large truck farm which covered much of Branford Hills. After saving his money, he bought the current Johnson Farm at the end of Queach Road. There, he ran a big truck farm of his own, plowing with draft horses (remembers his grandson, Frank Ifkovic). The grandfather also had apple and peach orchards. The land on which most of the homes along Pasture Lane are built, used to be a peach orchard.
