    3. 1796 ERA JAMES JOHNSON (Pension S16891) served in the VA Line, was born in 1759 in Louisa Co, VA and was raised in Bedford Co, VA, and was living with a bro (not named) in Amherst Co, VA at enlistment. After the War, he lived for two years in that part of Campbell County, Virginia which was formerly a part of Bedford Co, VA, then moved to South Carolina for 6 yrs, then moved to Sullivan Co, Tennessee<about:../../counties/sullivan.html> for 33 yrs, then to Wayne Co, KY, then to Washington Co, Missouri where he applied for his pension on 5 Feb 1833, In 1833 his brother, John JOHNSON, was of Washington Co, Missouri, and in 1833, a James J. JOHNSON was a JP for Washington Co, MO, but no relationship to soldier was stated. The above was extracted from Virgil D. White, Genealogical Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Abstract Files but is partially incorrect; i.e., the original affidavit shows that he lived in Sullivan County, Tennessee for 6 years and in Wayne Co, KY for 33 years. James and John JOHNSON and their brother, William, were sons of Benjamin and Mary MOORMAN Johnson (Miller) of Bedford/Campbell Co, VA, and apparently elder half-brothers of Pleasant Moorman Miller* who removed to Hawkins County, Tennessee<about:../../counties/hawkins.htm> in 1796 from Lynchburg, Campbell County, Virginia, to Hawkins County, Tennessee in 1796, and to Knox County in 1800.
