[1] Johnson was a keen follower of preachers including Francis Liddell who was in Colchester from 1619 to 1628, and later, Richard Maden.
[1] Johnson and her husband were questioned by the authorities concerning their communication with the self-proclaimed prophet John Bull on 19 June 1636.
[1] In 1636 or 1637, she wrote an account of her conversion; this untitled work was later derogatively called "Fanatical Reveries".
[1] Johnson's writing was transcribed at the time by "E.A" (maybe Elizabeth Addington who was another follower) along with several other related texts and it survived in the papers of the Gurney family.
It was purchased in 1936 and only later gained scholarly attention when it was found in the "Gurney Miscellenea" at John Rylands University Library.
