I did a lookup for you in the book, "Marriages of Wilson Co. TN, 1802-1850", by Edythe Rucker Whitley. There are dozens of Johnson marriages that are listed for those years, but the following listed have the same 1st name and middle initial as some of your Samuel Johnson children. 1. John P. Johnson was married to Eliza Mitchell Sept 18, 1827 by German Baker. 2. Samuel G. Johnson was married to Nancy W. Cooper Dec 10, 1829 by the Justice of the Peace with Charlie W. Cooper as bondsman Dec 9, 1829. 3. Mary C. Johnson was married to William C. Brown Dec 24, 1839 by Rev Melkijah L. Vaughn, with Elijah M. Holt as bondsman. 4. Sarah B. Johnson was married to Albert L. Fakes Dec 5, 1839 by Rev Melkijah L. Vaughn, with Hugh Edwards as bondsman Dec 3, 1839. 5. John P. Johnson was the bondsman Nov 26, 1839 for the marriage of Garrett G. Mitchner and Frances H. Avery performed Nov 27, 1839 by Rev R. R. Barden. Hope this helps somehow.
