Anthony Johnson (colonist)

Anthony Johnson (b. c. 1600 – d. 1670) was a man from Angola who achieved wealth in the early 17th-century Colony of Virginia. Held as an "indentured servant" in 1621, he earned his freedom after several years and was granted land by the colony.

He later became a tobacco farmer in the Province of Maryland. He attained great wealth after completing his term as an indentured servant and has been referred to as "'the black patriarch' of the first community of Negro property owners in America".
